Comment #5 on issue 8874 by hirsch.will: Start menu bloat http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8874
I just hope that's a properly researched argument since I would have thought those users were in a minority, and for the rest of us it's a completely redundant click in the workflow. Uninstall shortcuts are a legacy of the era when Windows didn't have a separate list of uninstallers in the control panel. Now that this is no longer the case hardly any software still uses one, exemplified by the fact that Chrome is the only notable browser that does. If most software doesn't have a shortcut, what user is going to look in the Start Menu for one? The whole point of a shortcut is defeated if more often than not you have to go to the Control Panel anyway. Chrome is supposed to be leading the way against the status quo by optimising its user interface for the user's benefit, as it has done with title bar tabs, not following archaic and unthought-through conventions. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
