OK, so I restarted my computer the other night and I'm guessing Chrome did an automatic update (Version 42.0.2311.90 m).
When I started it back up I notice that I can no longer access any site settings in Permissions when you click on the little icon next to the HTTP address in the address bar unless I'd previously made an exception for that site in the past.
Uninstall/reinstall and nope, still gone. Settings/Advanced - Reset and nope, still gone.
Did Google remove this functionality and deliberately make Chrome worse? Is there a way to put it back to how it was?
Without that functionality, Chrome is basically worthless to me. I used to use it to help manage which sites were allowed to use Javascript and/or addons. I basically use Chrome with a whitelist (all sites are blocked from using Javascript/addons unless I specifically allow them to). That site settings under permissions in the address bar was a nice easy way to add/remove a site from my whitelist. Without that I'd have to manually go to into settings, find the appropriate section, manage exceptions and then enter it. A royal pain in the butt. If I have to do that, I might as well just go back to using IE to access all sites.
This is F@#$ing retarded. They just removed one of the only features that makes me want to use Chrome in the first place despite the horrible, IMO, UI.
But maybe they aren't that retarded and something is actually broken and you guys can help me fix it. Or maybe there's a hack to put it back in.
