It's very normal that certain Google services don't work as intended on IE. We even get message on IE6 that the user should shift to a modern browser, Chrome touted as one major example of those modern browsers.
But of late I am coming across Google services that are not working on Chrome but are working flawlessly on new versions of IE. Coming from a giant like Google, I find it disappointing. And also bit surprising, the front-end specific coding and very rigorous browser-testing is a standard procedure in Cognizant, I would expect Google would at least test their services on their own browser.
I am huge fan of Google. In fact among my friends I am mocked that I keep pushing for G+ usage, even on my FB stream. I hope they notice these problems and correct ASAP.
- Latitude.google.com: On Chrome the page doesn't load properly, so you can't even see the basic content. On IE it works perfectly.
- Alerts.google.com: When you try to modify an entry, or create a new entry; on Chrome you can only update the main search-term. The details like frequency etc. are not editable. On IE it works perfectly.
