South Korea's internet users are once again fuming against Google, this time for not promptly fixing an error in Chrome despite their numerous complaints.
South Korean users complained about an issue when searching for Korean phrases after the US tech giant updated its web browser to version 100 last week to improve security.
Even if users wished to search for different words, Chrome autocompleted their prior search words without removing them.
When typing Roman letters into Chrome's address bar, the error did not appear.
Users claim that Microsoft Edge and Naver Whale, which are both built on Google's Chromium open-source web browser project, have the same issues.
Some Korean Chrome users reported they tried to fix the problem by erasing their browser histories and disabling the autocomplete feature.
However, their efforts did not work.
Even though some users reported the bug to Google Chrome Help Center last week, the firm did not immediately respond.
This isn't the first time Koreans have expressed dissatisfaction with Chrome when searching for Korean words.
When users typed Korean words into Google's search engine on Chrome in 2020, the web browser's autocompleting function caused the initial letter to be duplicated.
As a result, anytime a user searched for a Korean word, they had to manually remove the first letter.
When users typed in Roman letters, there was no problem back then.
These blunders led to the conjecture that Google is uninterested in the Korean market.
According to statistics published by StatCounter, Chrome represented 52.75 percent of South Korea's web browser market in January, followed by Apple Safari (13.5 percent), Samsung Internet (13.22 percent), Naver Whale (9.43 percent), Microsoft Edge (7.29 percent), and Microsoft Internet Explorer (1.23 percent).
