      But there have been past things (likely to long ago to find easily) where a great many sites were broken by an update that Chrome made. Now sure - you could say ALL those sites did something wrong and Chrome exposed that wrong thing - but you could see it from the other POV, that this was an accepted method, until Chrome change it, which suddenly made it unacceptable/broken.

      Except only one view is correct. I can't say which one is without digging into a specific example and showing if a bug was fixed, or created. But I'm not aware of this ever happening. Do you have any examples?

      Sites do break all of the time. So does any software that is ghost ship or heading towards ghost ship. Software is a living thing and being unmaintained is the same as being broken.

        Our EHR which is a browser only based EHR contantly breaks when Chrome does updates.

        Anyone else use web apps that break all the time because of browser updates?

        Sadly - as a total non developer, I have no idea if this is Chrome just changing shit that requires devs to constantly update their site/apps to work with Chrome OR the apps themselves are just that poorly written that they break when Chrome updates OR my app dev is using such rare stuff in Chrome that that rare stuff is constantly being removed, etc, etc.

        It's a constant battle.

        In fact it's so bad that the EHR company is making their own Chromium based "desktop app" that won't be updated unless the vendor wants to update it. I suppose as long as this 'app' is really locked down and nothing else can invoke it to take advantages of discovered Chromium flaws, then this might be a doable setup. The app can also be locked down (by the vendor) to only be used to access the EHR system, making it less of an issue being updated less frequently.

        Thoughts, opinions, etc?

        We suffered same issue we had Bahmni EMR, and Google chrome change log was lacking serverly with stuff like
        many bugs fixes and enhacnemnts

        We suffered from issues due to under the hood change many times, like the ability to make only 6 connections to SSL https socket thing

        https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32697909/how-to-solve-chromes-6-connection-limit-when-using-xhr-polling

        You dont need Chromuim app, just use this
        https://chromium.woolyss.com/

        Or run linux and saltstack and run command to upgrade chrome when it is tested . Thats what we did . sadly we didnt manage moving all to Linux cause of the dam MS Office.

        ALso run some users or yourself on the Chrome BEta, to catch issues prior

        Except that the spec for this (RFC2616) should actually be 2. The fact that the browsers let you have six ignores the spec. This page lists all modern browsers at 6.

        XHR Polling is obviously abused and most solutions should be updated to websockets.

            The vendor specifically checks for the browser and disables use on anything they don't approve.

              More evidence of who is responsible for breaks.

                Damn, that's some Internet Explorer type nonsense right there.

                  Chrome clearly has/does and will continue to make updates that breaks things - but not as a general rule.

                  Chrome isn't breaking things though, they are finding and resolving security/stability issues when they update. They don't update to disable things on purpose.

                    I am guessing that Chrome doesn't have an ESR like FF.

                      You can probably control Chrome updates using the msi installer and the ADMX templates plus you also have Legacy Browser Support extension too.

                        Not surprising.
