3 years agoYes. I've read the thread and understand why it works that way. It still doesn't change the fact that its a terrible user experience.
When you say "frequently", what do you mean by that? Chrome pushes an update every two weeks. That's frequent to me.
Here's my scenario:
I have hundreds of browser tabs open, spread across 12+ browser groups in 12+ browser windows. Restarting Chrome is a time consuming and fragile process, as Chrome doesn't always restore the tabs back properly. Therefore, I delay updating Chrome until I have 30+ minutes in my day to make sure my browser is back the way it needs to be.
Sometimes this means that I delay restarting Chrome. Unknowingly to me, that delay might be only 2 days before another Chrome update gets pushed. Therefore, the frequency of having to restart chrome because of an update, because of 1Password's dependency, could be within days of each other. Again, that's frequent to me, and incredibly disruptive to my day, and to my work.
I would kindly ask that the 1Password dev's explore alternative solutions. It's painful.
