Whilst Chrome isn't my main browser on OS X I do like to frequently pop back to it to see how things are going.

Something that's always irked me has been the back and forward screen indicators. They've uglified it even more with a large black semi-circle popping up each time you swipe

WHy do the Chrome devs do this? Does someone honestly sit there and say it looks nice?!

Yeah, I just turned on the about:chrome://flags flag in the mean time.

So you see it now? I would like this feature.

Just checked mine, v18 m and there is no option.

edit: just did the same thing you did, it's checked now. This will be helpful with taking my netbook to class.

Oh fuck I just noticed this. It was so elegant before! Why would they do this?

Man, Chrome is acting like shit for me today... I'm assuming it has something to do with the release of "18." First, rdio decided to no longer work with it.. which I was going to chalk it up on them since the site sometimes has some issues. But now I've had it stop responding multiple times at other sites too necessitating a ctrl+alt+delete to quit out. Using Firefox feels so wrong..

Anyone else's Chrome being a memory hog recently? Chrome slowly builds up memory usage the longer I use it in a session. No matter the sites, no matter how many tabs. Chrome.exe's using 2gb of memory, while FireFox doing the same tasks is taking about 300mb.

The problem seems to be isolated to those using the latest version of Chrome, 18.0.1025.151, and running the 64-bit version of Windows 7. So far the only way to gain access to Google services with Chrome again is to reinstall the browser, which will give temporary access. Once you close the browser and reopen it, the server certificate error will return.

been pissing me off all morning gonna switch browser and be done lol

Working fine here. Windows 7 x64. Closed, reopened, closed again, reopened, couldn't reproduce the bug.

Sorry Chrome, you're garbage. But I love you so much.

SRware Iron is the option I took. Who else is using this basically-rebranded chrome?

This looks terrrrrible.

Well it's pretty much identical to Chrome except that it uses Facebook as your login and syncs everything through it as well. It did fix my memory issues that Chrome had but I still don't want to use it. I hope the next version clears up whatever I'm seeing.

Has anyone been having issues with chrome 18 playing media content? It's been happening on the mac at work along with my PC at home.

The tab just freezes, crashes, doesn't play anything. I've had to switch back to opera for the random pages I encounter it on.

Argh why did I upgrade? Now I'm getting "The site's security certificate is signed using a weak signature algorithm!!!!LOLFUCKYOU" for all google services and other certificate errors elsewhere.

You mean Aura for Chrome OS?

Yeah, not a fan so far, but I'll wait until it's more final.

I just don't understand the logic behind it. The only real market I see for Chrome OS is businesses and universities where they're already on Google Apps and making it look more like Windows is just going to be confusing to end users. There was nothing wrong with the original idea of the first docked tab as an app menu. If Google wants to make a more effective play they'd be better adopting GNOME 3 where integration with Google services is already reasonably comprehensive (you enter your Google account details and it syncs the email client, IM, the document viewer with your Google Docs, contacts and calendar all automatically) yet the platform itself is not so limited.

been having a lot of problems with playing videos on chrome lately, both on my PC and laptop. I'd try to watch highlights on ESPN and I can't see the video but the audio plays. I have to refresh a few times and if I'm lucky it will play. Same thing with youtube.

No problems with watching porn luckily...lol

Windows 7, I'm presuming? What Chrome version, and is the video just stuttering badly or completely blank? How about Youtube?

I still think it's lame Aura won't work on CR-48s. Google promised me it'd get better with software. Hasn't been the case.
 
So has anyone ever gotten a problem with the colors of webpages?

Wikipedia has looked like this for the past few days and I cant get the colors back to normal.

And it seems to only be effecting wikipedia.
