My biggest complaint about Chrome: it's the year 2011 and it still doesn't support color profiles.
I mean, shit, Safari does, Firefox does, even IE does. As someone who loves photography and graphics, as Chrome usage takes over, the ability for people to view these works drops.
Why this hasn't been implemented (actually it has, it's been there in the dev branch since forever but has never made it into the regular release), is beyond me.
I'm sure it's a big deal for you, but surely you understand that this is a feature that only 0.5% of the population cares about. Most people are happy to watch 4:3 television stretched to fit their wide screen TVs and you can't believe that Google hasn't implemented color profiles?
Considering this has been standard is every single browser, major and minor, and Google is the sole standout... yes.
And color profiles aren't some obscure thing that only graphics people care about - there are a lot of photos online right now where people look like zombies (or tomatoes) because the embedded profile isn't being accounted for.
If you Google for it, there are plenty of complaints from non-techy people who are confused why their pictures look fine from Windows Explorer/Preview, but look completely different when uploaded to Facebook.
Most people who have problems with color profiles don't know their problem is color profiles.
More commonly, people blame it on Windows, OS X, Photoshop, or a litany of apps. Funnily enough, unless they are in the know, they don't blame the browser.
It is a very common problem though, and for people generating content it makes their lives doubly tough. The average quality of your computer display is depressingly low (TN LCD panels can't reproduce a color correctly to save its lousy life), add this to outlier apps like Chrome messing up the experience for users, and you'd never know how your content is going to show up on the end user's machine.
That's what they used to say about the "web-safe" color palatte, but I was hoping we'd put that problem behind us (along with avoiding alpha channels in PNGs and fixed background images).
Well it certainly hasn't been standard for all that long. I do not have dates handy, but I can remember a time in the not too distant past where Safari was the only browser that processed color profiles. It was actually a huge pain in the ass because you'd think something was working correctly and then later realize you hadn't stripped the color profile when you loaded it in Safari.
