You can star it. That would tell the developers how many people care about it in O(1) time, without having to wade through O(n) comments. Alright, O(log n) time.
Why O(log n)? Is there a binary search involved somewhere (for example)? All you have got to do to find out how many people voted for it is to look at the vote count and this seems like an O(1) operation doesn't it?
Last year I was woken up in the middle of the night by my girlfriend, who was terrified by a voice that seems to come from the lounge. I got up, opened the door, and there was a bright white light. My girlfriend was even more terrified since she could only see me and the light shining on me from the lounge. It was the television. It turns out that when we were channel surfing earlier in the evening, we switched to a…
The biggest issue I have with Chrome restoring tabs is that it completely hogs my computer and internet connection while requesting, downloading and rendering all the pages. To solve it, I simply turn off wi-fi when restarting Chrome, so that all the tabs reopen, but are not reloaded. The URLs are restored, and I can reload them exactly when I want to.
In fifty years we'll tell to our grandchildren: "Back in my day, we had to turn WiFi off before starting our browser after a crash, because it would not load when connected to the inter(galactic)net". They'll pity us I'm sure!
An important comment on the bug from a Chromium employee [0] Hacker News crowd, let's please stop the "me too" party here, and please file separate bugs for separate issues (even if they're similar). Keeping the signal-to-noise ratio sane on this one raises the chances that it gets addressed :) So you can help by only commenting if you have technical comments on how to fix the problem in Chrome. It'd be a shame if we…
You can always tell if something is garbage on here by looking at the average length of the comments. Almost every single comment on this link is an inane one-liner that adds nothing to any meaningful discussion. And lo and behold, it's the same sort of shitty discussion as on the bug report itself. Compare this with the comments on the 21 Nested Callbacks link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5447287
Firefox 'solves' this by only loading tabs that have been given the focus upon auto-restart. So, if you have 10 tabs opened, and your computer restarts and Firefox is opened, the only tab that will actually load is the one that was last active.
This would be so great. Unfortunately the Chrome developers didn't like it. I can't find the bug now, but they don't want to add this and also don't allow any user options so that people can configure it :-( One guy in that bug even wrote he patched that part out, but that's not a solution for me, I don't have time to compile Chronium myself. Turning off wifi or configuring (in IE!) a fake proxy is the only remedy.
If you don't like the behavior, there are ways to change it yourself:
* Install flash blocking plugin * Enable click-to-play * Install a plugin that disabled auto-play (at least for youtube, don't know about a netflix one) * Put the computer to sleep/hibernate * Turn off speakers * Turn off the computer ... * Close the netflix tab
There are many many options. If you don't like closing out chrome because you'll be missing your tabs, then use a plugin like "Session Manager" and then save your currently open tabs, and then close Chrome.
I don't think this is a bug. I think it works just fine.
Heck, I don't know which setting I have but if chrome crashes or if I restart my computer without nicely closing chrome, Chrome will re-open upon boot BUT it'll open a new blank tab with a bar at the top that says something like "Chrome didn't shut down properly. Do you want to restore your old tabs?" ... that works extremely well.

Oh that's why Firefox does this, I find this very annoying and tried to turn it off in about:config to no avail...

Ok, forgive me if I'm missing some sarcasm here but... you realize that about half the planet is in darkness at any given time, right?
I think you're missing some sarcasm here. It's OK, I forgive you.
