It's lovingly called the Hotdogs menu and is their standard icon across all Chrome versions. I do agree its silly but it does resemble a menu list as that's what it's supposed to be. A listed menu.

Not Android! Lol.

Seriously though, three dots > hotdogs.

Does chrome not require the browser to close anymore before using a new update? this time I came back home and it was already using version 22 without me closing the browser first.
 
Alright so about 30 minutes ago my desktop icons started flickering weirdly so I shut it down and ran a scan thinking something bad was going on. Malwarebytes came up with nothing but when I opened Chrome the far right icon is now 3 bars (think it was a wrench or some shit before? It's the settings button). Is that supposed to happen?

Yes. The wrench has been replaced by hotdogs.

Thanks. I'm going to assume that auto update is what was making my screen go apeshit too. I wish they would let me know there's an update going on. I'm paranoid enough with this thing after getting a virus about a week ago.
 
I don't think it was the auto-updater, but you never know.

Chrome tells you when an update is ready to be installed by putting a green badge on the menu button.

I was just using it before getting ready for south park and I still had the wrench so it didn't update yet, and then that happened and I almost immediately shut the PC down and opened chrome after restarting. So I'm telling myself it was during the update for my peace of mind :lol

What does it look like open? Is it a list like a menu? Because those look like icons.

The hotdogs look better and make more sense with a list. Though the wrench wasn't really hurting anyone so I don't know why they'd need to dump it.

Same deal:

I dunno, three dots just looks more menu-y to me. As mentioned before, three bars has typically meant "justify text."

In a text editor yes. But here it just looks like a menu to me. But I don't care. I miss the wrench. But it'll never be back so we have to get used to it. Also, I suspect eventually you'll get the hotdogs on your Android too just for consistency. (BTW, what version of Chrome does that count as? The iOS version (21.0.1180.82 - The last 21.x version before 22.x) is nearly synchronized with the desktop stable version, version-wise - up until yesterday of course, I suspect that'll change when the App Store releases a new update to match - is the Android version of Chrome the same?

BTW, I love the Help page for iOS Chrome. Every answer is literally "Because iOS limits what we can do."

I think it was because the same thing happened to me, taskbar icons flickering and all, some weird effect of the auto-update.

Google Chrome is now available for the Intel x86 version of Android.

It's Chrome 18 though. :/ What is going on over there.

I was disappointed when Chrome for Android came out and relied on Google Play to update, but now this is just getting ridiculous.

It's not about using Google Play for updates as much as it's the fact that Google just doesn't update the damn thing. They've pushed one update post "launch" and that was just a small update to version 18.

Mozilla on the other hand is updating the mobile version of Firefox right along with the desktop version.

The reason the silent updater makes sense in Windows is because there's no standard mechanism for updating software. In Android they don't need any of that, they could do silent and automatic updates right from the Play store as with any other app.

Chrome is also pretty bad on my S2 on ICS. There's either a problem with it or SwiftKey that causes it to crash nearly every time if I go back to Chrome after having the keyboard open in another app such as messenger. It could be SwiftKey's fault, but it never used to crash the stock browser, just Chrome. Disappointed at the lack of updates to mobile Chrome to be honest.
 
Goodbye gifs =\

Btw, sorry for bothering but I have a question.

I want to move my bookmarks and settings(like extensions and things of the sort) from 2 laptops into a new one.

I know a simple way to export bookmarks but does Chrome has a feature that would do all of this?

Sorry if it's a dumb question but I never really looked into this and now I have no idea =\

Chrome can sync everything to the cloud. All you need to do is login with your Google username and password and everything is there.

go to -> chrome://chrome/settings/syncSetup

Chrome just gave me a hell of a time. Google sites and Twitter both stopped loading. And Chrome keeps beachballing for me now. Like crash frozen type of beachball. I keep having to force quit it.

Fix this shit, Google!
 
This is why you have multiple browsers installed. When your main browser pushes out an update that fubars your browser you have a back up browser until you can either find a fix or an update gets pushed!

Yes. I do have multiple browsers. But hell if I'm going to use them. Firefox is for porn and Safari is just... meh. Plus they don't work with my other versions of Chrome on my iPhone and iPad and Mac mini. This is a stable version! How is it so flakey?
 
Thanks to Andrex and D4Danger for the cool extensions. I just installed some of them.

Also, how do I force fonts onto websites? Is there an extension or do I have to edit a file?
 
I love vanilla chrome but once I get to customizing it chugs pretty badly. Firefox is the only browser that can handle everything I use.
 
so this is why my browser sucks ass now.

I've been getting many pages that either load shitty or lock up entirely, often while scrolling or loading internal windows like on ebay. I also have suddenly experienced some external Youtube links loading to blank white pages while the audio plays. I have to close chrome multiple times to resolve these until it happens again. I'm not running a single extension or addon.

It's pissing me off and has me thinking about going to IE for the first time since I got this computer.

I've had no issues on my mac or pc. The only thing I've noticed that is different is the menu icon.

That and when I first click on the chrome button to load it up it no longer seems to lock up anymore. It loads my homepage instantly every time now.
 
The only issue I really noticed was the app freezing up if I tried to use it while it was loading the tabs from the previous session. I had to force quit it thrice in a row the other day before I decided to just let it load. Loading session tabs seems to take forever. I wish Chrome had Firefox's "load only when activated" option.

Also weirdly has anyone else on OS X had two finger swipe stop working on certain pages? It happens on a per page basis and not a per tab basis randomly as if something in the page is disabling the gesture. If I click back manually and return to the other page it returns to working again.
 
Yep. Figured it out. Anyone else on OS X having Chrome 22 stop allowing two-finger swipe (Back/Forward) to work on any page with Flash media embedded? Just tested it out. I have "Click to enable plugin" turned on and when I loaded up a YouTune page I could swipe back and forward. But as soon as I enabled the Flash, it stole all focus from the page and won't let me use the swipe anymore. This is so frustrating. It's even worse than when a Flash video would stop my scrolling short if the mouse happened to hover over it while the page was moving. Fucking Flash. I fucking hate you, Flash. But I can't get rid of it. And this was never a problem until 22. Fix it, Google!
 
is there a way to roll back to a previous version? Like if I use an older version, will it just stealth update to the newest version again? This is why I rarely update my browser, since why do it if it fucking works.
