The entire point of a web browser is the internet - aka, webpages.
If you can''t open it in private mode, why bother having private mode.

I did end up getting rid of it.

All that was needed was -
change my current wifi settings to prevent the pc from auto-connecting when I reboot.
reboot.
delete all of the old version folders.
delete the auto-update files.
delete the installer and installer helper files.
delete the notification helper.
delete the task schedules.

AND I added it to the environment.

I don't know which of those things finally made it work. Nor do I care.
Although, I am not sure, but I think the ad block lists aren't updating.

Which just goes to show you how "can't open internal pages in private mode" is a load of donkey dung.
If you can open it one way, you should be able to open it the other way.

well I'll be a monkey's uncle....

I went back to 58.0.3135.90 because I don't want to deal with 60.
Now I am dealing with a red menu button that wants me to "get the latest security update" - which takes me right back to 60.

Yes, I have turned off the scheduled tasks. Yes, I have deleted the auto updater file. Yes, I have rebooted.

What else can I do?

60 was just too much of a hassle.
And it won't be a problem for me since the auto-update feature hasn't worked since 46.

If I have to find a new browser, I will.

Which is just ridiculous. What good is private mode if you can't use it.

What exactly is an "internal page" ?

@rh99 said in Is Bookmarks an absolute disaster? Has Chrome destroyed it?:

How can designers be this clueless? Who would not want a default sorting system?

I happen to like that the newest ones at the top.
Particularly since most of my hearts are short term. I organize what I want organized and the rest are right there, a jumbled mess until I delete them.
Much easier to find them when I don't have to hunt for names I don't know.

I know about the "click tab to go to top".

But I have also been having random screen moves. I thought it was something I was doing (like an accidental tab click), or a website that didn't finish loading entirely and then scrolled to the top when it did finish.

But I am starting to think it is just another WTF since I updated to 60.

I understand that professionals (in any field) have language they use, but some of us learn that we need to "dumb it down" for the non-professional.

So, since I am not a professional at computers, talk to me in English.

I add links using Opera (the little heart that is next to the address). I organize my links.
But now I can't use them as intended.

How does that make sense?
