v26 changing the line spacing in chrome to be ridiculously wide to make it easier for use on touchscreens and tablets.
People have asked google to make it optional (as the old spacing is better for those using a mouse) and google refused.

Please make this optional in Iron.
You can currently disable it with a command line argument but that requires that you launch chrome from a specially made shortcut (rather than by double clicking an html file or clicking on the win7 pinned icons.

The entire iron missions statement is to change the behavior of the chromium browser, it is how they differentiate themselves from the original.

Maybe they should change Chromium's standard behavior.

Make a difference and actually truly stand out on its own as a real browser instead of being just a Chromium clone.

You don't? Why does the get more extensions option take the user to a German site rather than the (much more useful) google site?
