This blog post discusses the negative impact of Chrome's behavior on user expectations and experiences. The author highlights how Chrome's design choices, such as its visual cues and loading indicators, have created an unrealistic standard for website performance. Users have become conditioned to expect instant loading times and smooth transitions, leading to frustration and impatience when encountering slower websites or slight delays. The post argues that Chrome's distortion of user expectations has led to a loss of appreciation for the complexity of web technologies and the effort put into building websites. It calls for a more realistic understanding of website performance and a shift in perspective to appreciate the intricacies of the web.
