Because I can&#x27;t cmd-tab to it. Because it brings every Chrome window to front if I just want to read a message. Because it floats on top of Chrome whenever it&#x27;s open. Because I can&#x27;t easily move it between monitors, or to a different part of the screen. It&#x27;s also really rubbish at uploading files. Why can&#x27;t I drag and drop? And how about search? You&#x27;re Google ffs.
