When you run with all the gpu-related about:flags things turned off, what does the "Graphics Features Status" section of about:gpu say?

God I'm such an idiot. It's actually just in settings. Click advanced, then go all the way to the button and it says "Use hardware acceleration when available". Just uncheck that, and it should never touch your GPU
thanks! but no luck still!
Google Chrome and Google Chrome Helper are still triggering the dedicated GFX on my MBP... maybe Apple needs to fix this :/

Hmm, how do you know its using it? And what does it say in about:gpu?
I use gfxCardStatus - it alerts me I am switched to dedicated GFX whenever I launch Chrome.
in about:gpu, I see this
GPU Switching: Always on discrete GPU

You should probably file a bug at crbug.com, that sounds like incorrect behavior, it should be using software rendering

Ctrl+Shift+O? Or just leave your bookmarks tab open all the time like most people do with their email. You can even pin the tab by right clicking the tab and choosing Pin. Then it will always be at the beginning.
Hey guys...
In using Chrome OS/Chromebook and Chrome browsers everywhere, I've come across a small annoyance.
My extensions, bookmarks, and apps sync perfectly across all the computers I use. No qualms here.......except.....on my Chromebook. All the apps I have on the Chromebook don't appear anywhere else. Is this by design? I'm referring to the apps from the "task bar" button. I have far more apps there that don't appear in my other browsers on the Apps page (chrome://apps). And even weirder, when I type "chrome://apps" into my Chromebook browser, the page is blank. Why is this and what is going on? I'd like to synchronize this stuff.
Edit: I actually just realized that there are FAR more extensions in my Chromebook than on any other computer using Chrome as well. Is this all because it's a Chromebook? I have everything set to synchronize, but the Chromebook just doesn't ever sync up with extensions and apps. Bookmarks and everything else sync perfectly, though.
Edit2: I'm noticing that some things sync, and others don't. The Hangouts extension, for example, will only install on the computer I put it on. But others, like the "Add to Google Drive" or "Gmail Checker" extensions will sync and install on both of my computers if I add them to one. Very annoying......and I can't figure out a solution.

Chromebooks come with some apps preinstalled by default, like "Video Hangouts" and a few others. Manually installing them on another computer will cause them to sync to all of your installations.
If you're not talking about the default apps, then I have no clue, could be a sync bug.

It's really confusing me. Some things sync, others don't. I deleted all my apps from my Chromebook (the ones in the task bar) as well as the ones from the normal apps page on a different, regular (non-Chromebook) computer. Gonna see if this makes any difference.
But with regards to the Hangouts extension, it really won't sync for me. And it's not the Video Hangouts. I tried installing it on both without it being on the other, and it would never install on the opposite computer when other extensions would (but not all...there were a handful ONLY only on my Chromebook that wouldn't install on regular computer....ones that weren't pre-installed or anything.
Oh well. Hopefully deleting them all cleared up the issue.

Is there a way for me to lock page zoom on Chrome?
It increases and decreases zoom at random. I checked to see if maybe my keys are just sticking, but it's fine. Re-installing doesn't fix it. I've also been messing around with my keyboard and mouse settings, and it still happens.

Okay so...on my new desktop, every time I restart it or turn it off and come back to open Chrome, it says my settings are messed up and I lose all of my tabs and am signed out (even though all of my bookmarks are still there).
Anyone know what's up or how to fix this? It only happens on my desktop and not on my MBP.
Edit: Okay, more specifically it says: "Preferences can't be read"

Did you look at your extensions to see if there's anything suspicious listed?

Anyone else notice that the search bar on the google search results page is now missing if your original search was through the omni bar?
Thanks for clarifying. I'll leave it as is for now.

Is there any word when Chrome might be updated to support OS X Mavericks features? (Like, is it present yet in any of the pre-release builds?)
I would love to continue using Chrome, but it's high energy consumption has always been undeniable, and is hard to justify now compared to Safari's now incredibly low power use.
I would also like to see them implement GPU-accelerated scrolling, click to play plug-ins, and App Nap. Also, fully GPU-accelerated Flash playback, if that's in Google's power.
The question is whether or not Apple's push for power savings aligns with Chrome's traditional ideology of render the next webpage, and render it as fast as possible.

Yes, they call it the Instant Extended API.
Do they run a canary version on OSX? If so give it a try. It'll have the latest features.

My "Recently closed tab" button is gone!
Is there any way to easily get it back?
Is the only reason why I use chrome over Firefox.

Try disabling Instant Extended API in about:flags
hmm just to check with ya
does Chrome Sync the status of your extensions?
status meaning whether they are disabled or enabled?
for example
my MBP and PC Chrome are synced
if I were to disable Readability on my PC Chrome, would that disable it on my MBP Chrome as well?
If yes, is there a workaround?
I googled but there's no update on it in 2013

Has anyone noticed that the latest beta (32.0.1700.14 beta-m Aura) on Windows 7 seems to have broken the taskbar download progress indicator? AKA that green sheen that fills over the icon? Or is that just me?
It does sync the if the addons are enabled or disabled.
That really sucks
it does but oh well..
found a backup dated Aug2012...
guess losing one year worth of bookmarks is better than losing everything
thanks! I tried.. but it's not there anymore :/
You don't happen to have another computer synced with Chrome? Try that one
nope :/ of all things, I did not enabled Bookmarks to be synced
cpp_is_king

Ahh, sadly that I don't know. The workaround, though, would be to disable Extension syncing I guess.

Woo! I just got the update I've been waiting for on the Beta channel. Makes the Metro App for Chrome basically like a little version of ChromeOS in Windows, from what I've read.

Okay, I don't know if it's just me, but I'm getting real tired of having my YouTube videos stutter every goddamn time I try to watch a video. I don't know how to fix it. I deleted the Pepperflash folder, disabled, nuked it, etc., but that didn't work at all. I'm using Version 32.0.1700.14 beta-m Aura.

Deleting pepperflash doesn't exactly sound like the best idea in the world. That being said, youtube is probably playing HTML 5 videos anyway, it's hard to find many flash videos on youtube anymore.

I'm getting the same thing. Vids stutter every few seconds

Anybody has this problem? The drop down menu sometimes is unreadable.
That's odd, never seen that before. I would suggest creating a bug at crbug.com with the screenshot, and also including a copy of your about:gpu.
In the mean time, make sure your GPU drivers are up to date.

On second thought, this bug looks like it may be related to your problem:

Yeah it looks like the same thing, I'm on Version 32.0.1700.14 beta-m Aura right now.
