Man, the Mac Dev builds of Chrome have turned into hot garbage for me. Like, really, really, bad since maybe the last update? (Or possibly the one before it.) I've always used the Dev build and gotten along just fine, but now I might have to switch to a different version. I'm so behind on the three builds of Chrome (stable, beta, dev?) - can I go down to beta and be fine?

Chrome has been running like crap for me recently. Running on a MacBook Pro from last year.

I always have GMail, Google Voice, Google Music, and Calendar ALWAYS pinned.

Is it possible having these tabs pinned all the time can make Chrome run slower?

I've been getting a TON of "This plugin has crashed: Shockwave Flash." Could that be related to Google Music maybe?

So has anyone noticed if they've removed the connect to aim feature of gmail chat?
It doesn't work for me anymore, and I can't find it anywhere on the labs page.

Might have something to do with the recent integration of aim and google contacts or something.

This might help but I am not sure Lifehacker article

I'm astounded that Google keeps making meaningful improvements to Chrome without addressing the glaring color management issue.

Chrome is just getting faster for me. I barely use Firefox these days due to the tremendous speed gap of both. <3 Chrome.

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
I usually leave Chrome open all the time, but lately, the build up of the tabs is starting to get out of hand. 3 tabs can go over 500k if I don't end the process (which is one thing I really enjoy, I can just kill the tabs without having to close and restart the browser). I dunno if it's some extensions I'm running (I am running a lot, but individual, only Chromed bird ever gets out of hand) or if it's just the browser itself. Anyone else finding this to be a problem?

I have started using Read It Later for storing tabs I don't feel like putting up with right now so I can keep my tabs less cluttered.

So I've been switching back and forth between Chrome and Safari and thought I'd port over my NeoGAF Enhancements extension - so if anyone wants it, you can get it from here. I'm quite proud of how it turned out :)

Edit: Actually I think it's not working right now! Haha. Hold on.

Edit 2: Fixed it but I don't think I got updates working properly so you'll have to re-download it. :p

My favorite new extension:

Cloud Save
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/omiekjeapoonbhiemenfoccbdpeagdah#

Save right to any one of several cloud storage apps including Google Docs, Amazon Cloud and Dropbox.

Not at the moment, I have some ideas on how to get that working though.

Also I put out another quick update just fixing a couple of small things. Not sure why updates aren't working, I might just put it on the web store.

I'm still confused. So this new extension is a standalone extension right? I deleted the old Quick Reply extension I had and now its just gone, doesn't work with the new extension.

Did you go into the settings and tick the 'enable quick reply' box?

Odd, which version of OS X & which version of Chrome? I can look into it when I get home.

Also does anyone know if there is any way to remove favicons from the bookmarks bar?

So 12 was just pushed to the stable channel and brought those horribly tacky text-faded tabs with it.
Did anyone ever figure out a way to disable the text fade? It really does look as bad as everyone warned about.

I'm on dev 13 and they seem to be gone, might have to wait for a new version that changes it again?

13 gets rid of it? That's great to hear. I'm surprised they would push something this ugly through at all. They usually seem very conscious of a nice clean looking style.

The current 13 Dev seems to be really buggy. It wouldn't even load half the sites. Including Google itself. And at load tabs didn't want to load until I clicked them. So I'm once again back to 12.

my chrome developed a HUGE delay when trying to navigate to websites (even just going to google, haha!) so i just switched to firefox.

what is this the story with this? i type a URL, and it sits there for two minutes then maybe--MAYBE--goes.

What's this "experimental new tab page" in 12? How do I see it?
Click to expand...

their latest dev update has fixed my issues. I guess i've been lucky since this has only happened twice all the time of my chrome usage (where a dev build was straight up unusable).

to see the new tab page use "about:flags" in the address bar, its down the bottom of the list, not sure how it looks on 12, but the dev version has cleaned up some issues it's had. I can't wait till they get rid of the old one.

agreed, though they finally fixed the flickering issue between tabs on Windows machines in the latest build. that said, i've migrated back to Firefox 5 beta, which seems much more solid all-around.

such is the life of those living on the bleeding edge!

My standard Chrome just updated to v12 and I really don't like the fade at the end of tab names.

Is there any way to change that?

I hope that by the time Lion comes out, Chrome Mac has side tabs and they don't disappear when you go into fullscreen mode. The one thing I hate is fullscreen hides the tabs and omnibar. I like how Safari handles fullscreen.

Edit: I just tested it out and man is it ugly. I can't believe they haven't fixed this up. But the nice thing is they stay visible even in fullscreen. I just want to be able to make them narrower and less ugly.

Anyone know of how I can get my bookmarks to not get repeated on different machines? I have the same set of bookmarks on my machines and when Chrome syncs instead of merging it just add all the folders again.

I tried using Xcode and that seemed to be even worst.

Use Xmarks and turn off Bookmarks in Google's Sync preferences. Xmarks will sync between pretty much everything.
