Best I can say is try enabling some of them. Else look for some logs somewhere. Is it reproducible based on a certain action, or completely random?

Non-US GAF, have you heard about Media Hint (direct link)? It's amazing! Finally get to experience US Netflix and Hulu (I'm in Sweden).
This is sweet.
I used to use Spotflux which is also free but yours is probably a lot faster and easier to use.
Lets hope it's not removed from the store.

This is amazing, Thank you!
I will say, for all the GIF freezing I've been having, it DOES occasionally output some amusing results.
Had to open this up in a new tab just to check if it was supposed to look like that.

One week later and still does it, Oh well. Might be getting a new laptop soon. Hopefully chrome is better on that.

THANK THE LORD! Jesus that has been pissing me off so much.
Disabling this plugin seems to have fixed it.

I'm sure this has been raised before, but Youtube runs like shit in Chrome. Most player features don't work, it lags like crazy, crashes outright a lot of the time. I've tried enabling and disabling Flash plugins, nothing seems to work.
why does youtube.com not work in Chrome but www.youtube.com does? Is this something with my DNS settings?? or Chrome?
Not Chrome, both work just fine here.
Sure you aren't using an extension that might be causing this? I also have no problems with youtube videos apart from randomly being put in a slower server, but that isn't Chrome's fault.

Just another quote saying that this works wonders. Thanks for that.
So in addition to the awesome checkerboard pattern of "I haven't loaded yet" that seems to have been implemented a few builds back, I now have tabs continuing to eat more and more memory, until they get to about 1GB, and then become really slow to load a page, or unresponsive.
Here's a screen grab of the browser task manager from a couple minutes ago:
I'm typing this post inside that tab, and even the text I'm typing is lagging and sputtering to show up in the text field as I type it. I've tried disabling all extensions, but that doesn't seem to do anything. The browser itself is a recent re-install.
I don't want to go to another browser because I like having history, tabs, passwords, extensions, etc., synced between browsers at work and home, as well as on my phone and tablet, but I'm really starting to get fed up with this shit performance.

Yea gaf does that on chrome for me to, has been happening for the last 3 months or so. The page just gets extremely sluggish and you have to close the tab. Very annoying.

I'm not sure what features you're referring to? You mean fixes to the memory leaks and the awful checkerboard pattern? Or are you referring to the extensions I have installed being included in the Canary build? If it's the latter, I don't really care, but if it's the former I'll be trying canary tonight.
Whatever Google is doing for automated test isn't cutting it. I mean that GB memory leak above? That's a fundamental lack of test coverage.
Silverlight crashes on me every other day for a few hours of netflixing. That and gifs still not working because Chrome.

Holy shit, Chrome on my Galaxy S2 is the worst browser I had. The scrolling is shitty, the browser keeps crashing on me, sometimes making me lose lengthy typed comments and worst of all... When I press the back button to delete some words or letters the thing deletes the letter after the line and not before, everything becomes a mess because of it.
I'll just stick to my Dolphin browser. Its a shame because it is fast.

A) Does it happen every time?
B) Does it do the same thing in the Google app?
C) Does normal iOS6 voice recognition still work? (Remember that Google's microphone uses their own service. The one on the keyboard uses Apple's service.)
D) Does Siri work? (If applicable)
A) Seemingly only after I play video or use the mic with another app.
B) Nope, Google app has no issues.
C)Yes the native voice recognition works fine
D) See C.
Its really random, I hope they fix it in the next update.

It fixed at least one thing; Chrome is as smooth on my 2012 MBA now as Safari. That's a huge improvement.

Portable version don't update and works great.
Since a few weeks (months?) I have been experiencing some kind of weird "green screen" crashes on video players (Youtube and Vimeo) on the web. After a random amount of time the player simply crashes, it all goes screen and it "scrolls" very quickly to the end. Reloading the page doesn't fix it.
I tried turning on and off the hardware acceleration of the flash settings (right click on the video). I also can't update Flash because it's build-in Chrome.
I have the problem in Internet Explorer as well, so it's not purely a Chrome issue but I guess it's worth a shot.
Does anyone know the solution? It's really annoying!

I think you'd have to disable the omnibox completely.

Chrome has suddenly been crashing non-stop this morning. No new plug-ins, no unusual applications running, just browsing the same sites I do every single day. Anyone know what's causing this and how to fix it?

Seems to be a general Google thing, oddly. It crashed out of the blue for me too and it seems to be happening to a lot of others as well. Might be related to Gmail being down, for some reason.

I've disabled my Gmail plugin and didn't have any crashes since then.
Could be just luck, I guess, but it looks like Gmail is the culprit.

Gmail is back online so the crashes it cause should stop.

Yeah, Gmail just came back. Let's hope that's the end of that.
Guess we should see a hotfix for the Google Talk plugin soon.
