You have to use the Canary build. Sorry I forgot to mention that.
Good thing though is you don't even have to dick around with command line flags. WebGL and acceleration is enabled by default (and the download/install process is really smooth too.)

22", 1680x1050. And sure, my eyesight isn't the best but I'm correcting most that with glasses. Browsers should be for everyone though, not just those with large screens and good eyesight.vazel said:
But I won't hate more on Chrome. This was the one big issue I had with Chrome and I was hoping to fix it and make the switch, but some research and the attitude here leads me to believe that you're either happy with the defaults in Chrome or you don't use the browser at all, which is sad. Especially since Firefox is the only realistic alternative, and it's such an enormous pile of shit. But at least I can read the text.
Yea the great thing about these modern browsers is customization. I did try a font size extension but it's broken. https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ombpcpigmndepfckcifdblemkabaoihk?hl=en

They said it should be in the dev channel soon, but that Mac acceleration won't be in for now. vazel said:
oh, right.
maybe this then? -> https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/pofdgleodhojjnibdfnlapkadjepdnka?hl=en#
so can anyone explain this to me?
sometimes when I have a few tabs loading they will just show the spinning circle loading animation (not beachball but the chrome loading animation on the tabs) forever and load extremely slowly. If I open safari and load the same page it loads instantly and chrome continues to hang. anyone else had this? (mac version)
edit: hmm, I'm not alone : http://www.chromeboard.com/showthread.php?t=7706
happens at work on the mac but not at home on the PC. maybe its a ram thing.

After updating Chrome earlier then closing the browser window, Windows popped up an error saying it had to apply compatibility settings for Chrome. However, Chrome opened up again just fine and when I checked its properties no compat settings were actually applied. Anybody else get this?
Yeah, so a few weeks ago I got my Chrome logo laptop sticker in the mail. You remember a few months ago when they were giving them away.
These ones right here:
http://www.plinky.it/blog/2010/06/16/finally-google-chrome-sticker-is-mine/
Got the stickers complete with letter. It came as a surprise because I had forgotten I had ordered them.
But I haven't decided whether I really want to put them on my laptop. I mean, if it were one big sticker that I could remove if I wanted to, sure. But it's a hundred little leaf stickers. Removing them, even to just move them to another computer later on, would be a pain. Plus the process to apply them looks fun, but I'd be afraid a few would refuse to come off onto the laptop and I'd apply it wrong and it would look wonky and my OCD would never let me live it down. :lol Also, I can see a few of them falling off after a while as stickers on laptops tend to do. Hell, the fucking inspection stickers in my car windshield are peeling too. Stickers peel.
So maybe I should just keep it as a keepsake. I mean, I know I'll be using Chrome for the foreseeable future, but who knows what I might be using in 2020? Though, I probably won't be using this laptop in 2020 so... I dunno. I mean it would give my laptop more decoration.Though it'd be free advertising for Chrome when I'm out and about that one time I go out and about with my laptop every month or two.

Just wanted to bump this thread with some love for Chrome and its extensions. I was browsing the web and a message popped up from the creator of AdBlock notifying me and everyone that uses the extension that a update is coming soon. I love the fact that creators can do that and notify you of something.
Pretty cool stuff.

Chrome has been being weird for me lately. Like, it caches something and refuses to load the new version of the page. Unfortunately, this means I have to ditch it for Safari for now.

I really like Chrome in many ways, but what annoys me to no end is that there's no good mouse gestures extensions. This is really important to me, since I'm a long-time Opera user and rely heavily on mouse gestures to browse effeciently. The best one I've found is Smooth Gestures, but even that one is very lacking compared to Opera's built-in mouse gestures, and pretty buggy. It's also really annoying that extensions are blocked on internal pages (such as the "new tab" page), since that means the gestures don't work at all on those. I just wish Google would make their own native mouse gesture functionality. Another extension which pales completely compared to Opera's built-in counterpart is Speed Dial.
I guess this is what you get when you go with a browser which relies on user-made extensions rather than professionally implemented built-in features, but Opera lacks some other important things (like the ability to render Google Docs and other sites properly - I'm a pretty heavy Google user, so that's a problem for me). I guess there is no complete solution for me, and that's why I keep both browsers installed (though lately I've gone from pretty much only using Opera to using Chrome for a majority of the time).
(I also tried Fx 4 Beta, and found it to be a horribly slow and clunky thing to work with. No, thank you.)

So did anyone else see that chrome beta went to v7 today?
On my laptop I have docs, facebook, calendar, gmail, reader are all installed apps.. but on my computer they are not.. i'm not sure why.. i might have installed them manually when i was testing out the dev updates a while ago, so they might not be actual apps
seems like there is a still a problem of neogaf gaming, offtopic and online tabs breaking in v7.. this has been happening ever since chrome canary went to v7.. i would have thought they'd fix it before beta got there, apparently not

It's not Chrome's problem to fix. The tabs are missing closing tags in the HTML. The people that have access to updating the GAF theme have to fix it.tabsina said:

There is no Ctrl+B or Ctrl+I shortcut for bold and italic in any browser. That's JavaScript by the site. Whoever made it didn't give a shit about Webkit browsers.K.Jack said:

What I talked about last page, Chrome 7 adds GPU acceleration to Canvas, WebGL, and others (probably CSS transforms as well.) They say it was a struggle to add it while also satisfying Chrome's security principles, but they seem to have done a good job. A separate thread is almost required, I think.

I used that one before I moved on to Priceblink. Priceblink lists more stores and PriceBlink does not treat eBay as another store in case you don't want results from an auction site(although it does give you the option of searching eBay if you want). Priceblink also lists the shipping costs.Mr. Snrub said:
