Why I hate Google Chrome?
It's about 2 years that I switched to Google Chrome from Firefox. All my data, histories and saved authentications are stored in all last two years on Google Chrome.
Today, when I was going to the "cookies and data sites" tab from settings menu for removing one specific record from history, suddenly I clicked wrongly on the "Remove all" button inside the box.
What you expect to Google Chrome do after clicking on that hell button? Confirming that "Are you really want to remove all your cookie/session data?", right?
But it's completely removed all of my two years (cookie and authentication) data, without asking/confirming me.
REALLY, I HATE GOOGLE CHROME NOW.

So at your behest Chrome deleted what is probably the most common, and commonly misunderstood, everyday security vulnerability, and now you're all mad about it?
The majority of those cookies were ways for advertisers and merchants to track you and your consumer preferences, and violate your privacy. I've heard reports that Amazon shows one set of prices to those with a long record of browsing and purchases in a given product category (a record keyed to browser cookies), and another to someone with no history in that category.
Cookies aren't your data -- cookies are the data of merchants and advertisers. They should be purged regularly.
A confirmation dialog is something one would expect in a consumer-facing app - and it isn't difficult to build.
I'd be interested to know what their design decision was not to do that.
To be honest, you should've already removed all that useless data. I really don't get why you HATE Google Chrome now after clearing up your stuff.
I'd say: "Good guy Google Chrome".
