FUUUU this is the future.
Also i'm not sure but i think the added a bit more space between the bookmarks in "other bookmarks"
Chrome right now after I just booted the pc up is really chugging. Pages load up real weird and there is a lag even when checking gmail. No idea what is going on. Was fine before I went to bed and IE and firefox loads pages fine.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I had a random month or two where Flash wouldn't work. Things like FB's photo uploading and stuff was just borked. I also had a lot of flash and shockwave plugin failures.
I'm on the dev channel though that recently got updated. Everything seems to be fixed pretty much for me now. Hopefully these changes get passed down to the stable version ASAP as I swear everyone is now experiencing the Flash problems I had starting 2 months ago.

My flash is also completely fucked. Started using other browsers a bit.

How do I get this extension to work? Chrome is telling me I can only download extensions from the official store.
For all of you who are having problems, maybe if you do a clean reinstall? I started using Chrme again this week and I'm not having any of these problems.
Download to your HDD, then go to the extensions tab and move the file from Windows Explorer.

The browser was recently updated to use Flash 11.4 earlier this week, for what that's worth.
chrome has been annoying about its in-house pepper flash plugin recently. I've no doubt it's safer or whatever, but it's also not as hardware accelerated as the regular flash version that it takes priority over. you can check yourself with youtube's view video info - pepper flash won't ever accelerate the decoding portion, at least on an intel igp and nvidia dgpu. twitch.tv uses significantly more cpu as a result, as well
it wouldn't be that annoying except that ever since they enabled it a few weeks ago, the damn thing defaults to being enabled. even after disabling it in about
lugins, every minor update re-enables it again

Yeah on OS X I just copy the Flash from the normal Internet Plug-ins folder into the Chrome package if I need to replace it. Though I haven't noticed any problems with it lately.
Anybody else getting a site certificate error when doing a google search from the omnibox? It doesn't even give me the option to "proceed anyway".
edit: nevermind I think it is a local issue because of certificates. I imported the certificate that wasn't trusted into the trusted store, we will see if the issue persists after that.

Totally forgot how to enable it though.

Chrome just keeps getting screwier and screwier. Now when I start it up, it doesn't even open to my homepage. :| Graphical glitches, Flash going to shit, and now this.

Which version of Chrome is the wrench gone in? I still have it on Stable.

Beta and beyond.
It really is. And since I have to use Chrome or Safari (webkit-based) for work, it's been ten times as annoying. I've been wanting to go back to Firefox for months but seeing as I need Chrome for work, it's just easier to use it all the time.

Cool. So it'll be a few weeks before it gets here.
When was the last upgrade cycle shift? How far into the 6-week cycle are we right now?
No, Flash was stuttering in Firefox/Waterfox, so I've switched to Chrome. I've been constantly switching browsers for a while and there are add-ons on Firefox that I miss on Chrome, but the Youtube smoothness makes me go on Chrome more often.

Same here. Get it together Google! It's becoming as shitty as Firefox.

Hmm, every now and then Chrome tells me there's an extension error, but when I go to the extensions page, it doesn't say anything?

Hey just got that too, must be a new bug.
I just installed Windows 8 and Chrome, but whenever I click on an RSS feed, it pops up a box asking me which extension I'd like to open the page with - there are options like Google Reader and "Feed Intent Reader" etc. I'm sure on my Windows 7 install the pages with the feeds just open automatically, does anyone know how I can get that behaviour back?

Has the NeoGAF youtube viewer extension stopped working for anyone else?

Do GIF's stop looping for anyone else? Really quite annoying.

I thought I was the only one. That annoys me because my computer starts to bog down.

Yes, it does it for me too if I'm scrolling on a page. Simply switching back between two tabs fixes the problem until you scroll up or down to a new GIF.

I haven't had any trouble with Flash lately, so apparently they fixed something.

Ok, the ghost extension error is annoying me now. JUST TELL ME WHAT EXTENSION IS ERROR-ING!
I could manually work it out but you know, effort.
