Browsers should prompt on closing

Browsers are getting smarter and smarter day by day but I don't know why they are not thinking about lot silly features that might help many users in the world. I'll talk about one right now. You know, browsers can prompt with message whether you want to save session for the next time or not (I don't use this feature).


Browsers also asks on closing weather you want to clear cache, cookie etc. But no browser prompt on closing if i did any
change in any web page, especially in any form. Say, I'm filling up a form. I typed some data in it but not yet done. Accidentally I clicked close and browser was closed. It never asks me that I was in a form where I typed some data. Browser should ask in these kind of cases. I often lost my important browser window.

I thought,
google chrome browser would provide this. But unfortunately it does not.

More Links Should Be Intelligent

I use some of the products of google with huge trust. I use gmail most. It is nice that at top right gmail shows some hot links of other products. I can easily go to 'documents' 'calendar' from here and for what I don't need to re-login.

Unfortunately, it seems, google does not know which product I use most. So, it does not show the products that I use most at top. So, I click the 'more' link and then find my products to work on.

I frequently use 'alerts' & 'bookmarks' but google does not show those two links as hot link, nor even in drop-down list. :(

Top Priority Mails Should Always Appear At Top

Gmail should provide a way so that I can see my top priority emails at top of my 'inbox', 'starred' box or 'all mail' box. Though right now this can be done, somehow, by using filter & labels and of course 'star' features. But my problem is I forget things. I forget many things. I even don't know, how many times I clicked 'I cannot access my account' or 'forgot password?' link to login.

So, even though I created filter and set a label 'High priority' along with star mark, I know, I forget to click the label 'High priority' and thus I miss my high priority emails and get dependent on other devices. I'm fond of gmail. I've many gmail accounts for many purposes. But in every account I'm in need to see my top priority emails at top of my inbox always. Even if I've 1000 unread emails and I got one high priority email 3 days ago, and that is still unread, I want to see that high priority unread email at top of my inbox.

Gmail can do this easily in this way with their existing create a filter feature:



So the output could be like this in inbox:


I wish very soon, I'll find this feature as a surprise.

But right now I got a solution of this: I've one master account. Usually I don't disclose this master account to anyone or any group. So, this master account remains clean. I've other necessary gmail accounts and I create filter (where I forward high priority emails [say, if mail is from blah..blah...]) there. So, for checking whether I've high priority emails or not, I check my master account and if I get any mail that I expected I attain those emails through my original email account. :)
