Sorry if this has been discussed before, but is there any way to fix the way Chrome handles GIFs? I have a good internet connection and a fast computer so there's no excuse for the GIFs to be loading so poorly.

Anyway to increase the scrolling speed of chrome on android? Or a way to jump to the top of the page?

For those of you on the dev branch or the Android beta build: You'll recently have received a build that bundles in Web Speech API - it's a bit like Siri, but good.
More here: Siri, will Chrome's new speech features kill you?

Have they changed the way holding down the middle mouse button for scrolling works?
I swear if you held it and let go it would stop scrolling, but now it doesn't. Though it could just be me imagining things...

Google read your comments about Android in the other thread. They were not amused.
That was voxpop, I'm another person.
Any help?
My bookmarks and log-in info are showing up. My extensions, apps, and theme were deleted. I already reinstalled Chrome, but nothing has changed.

Found this little extension for bringing back a list of recently closed tabs:

Ctrl+Shift+T and Ctrl+H aren't enough?

No. I want more than just the most recently closed tab and less than the entire history.
And I want a drop-down list.
I know some other people were also unhappy with this change Google made so I figured I'd post a link to one I found. Maybe I'll post another if I decide to find something to change the New Tab page back.

I guess it's a bigger deal on Windows. OS X users have a menubar with all that stuff. I forgot Windows doesn't have one. Though isn't it just hidden? Or does it actually not exist?

Yeah, in Linux you also have the menu bar, I have no idea if there's even one in Windows as I've never wanted one. You can right click the task bar, but it's only four of them. The new tab page used to have something to click to get like the last 8-10 but that's gone in the redesign of the page. I can't remember if there was a list in the menu or not.
I prefer the little button near everything to a menu bar in any case and after messing with the settings of the extension it's probably better than the old methods.

I thought in Windows in order to make hidden "legacy style" menubars appear you simply pressed Alt. Or does Chrome just simply not have one? I guess I should just boot up Windows myself and look.
I guess the point is I can understand why you'd want that as a button too. I wouldn't mind more buttons there as well since I use Chrome on OS X in Fullscreen which hides the menubar as well. Though it comes back in a second when I want it.
What I'd love to see is a button for my toolbar that shows the "Other Devices" list in a popover so I can finally switch to a better New Tab Page. The only reason I can't switch from the horribly unpowerful stock NTP is because it's the only place you can find the list of other device tabs. A feature which I use all the time. I really want to switch to something nice like Speed Dial or my old personal custom NTP I made a while ago.
I believe the Dev branch had this as a menu option under the hotdogs menu a while back. Is it still there? Or did they decide to remove it? I want them to put it back there or offer an extension so I can dump this shitty NTP already.

Doesn't have one from what I can tell.
Yeah, it's still there. That's where the reopen closed tab thing is but as noted by Cyrillus, all it does is just open the last tab, it doesn't make a list like the old new tab page, the menubar in Linux/OSX or the above extension.

Is Microsoft really that much for getting rid of menubars? I like them and am glad OS X keeps it shown. You'd think the Windows version of Chrome would still have it available to the user somehow.
This almost makes me want to switch back to Dev. But I hate that I can't easily go back to release without corrupting my profile. Well, without breaking a single file that I should easily be able to remove. I just don't want to fuck anything up beyond repair. So I'll probably wait in line for it to come down on its own time. Maybe.

Some apps hide them until you press Alt.

Right. Where would they show up from in Chrome?
The Real Abed
Perma-Junior
Right where they'd normally be under the titlebar. I guess since Chrome uses a custom window layout (With no titlebar) they didn't implement that GUI widget into the window. On OS X of course the menubar is always there part of the windowserver. And on Linux.. well, I don't know where they put them if Chrome on Linux has one.

Right, my point is there's no real place for it to drop down from anywhere on Windows.
On Linux it uses whatever the desktop shell uses. On Ubuntu that's Unity which copied OS X with the awful global menu bar, thankfully Gnome Shell is moving in a more sensible direction with app menus.

The last update made .GIFs worse for me. :| Now when I scroll past them I see that white and gray checkered pattern.

Having a lot of issues with Flash, both when using built in or adobe plugin. Memory leaks going up to 1GB RAM usage.
Going to try uninstall and reinstall Chrome. I don't know why they can't get this one thing right.

Nooooo, the beta version restored the issue where new tabs will have old or closed tabs displayed over it. God damn it, Google.

Ok so instead of my search results from my omnibox looking like this:
they now look like this:
Anyone know what the hell is going on and how to revert it? Because this is pants on head retarded.

It describes what's happening but I'm on beta not dev.
I guess the question is how do I disable it.

that was posted over a month ago so it's probably found its way into the beta channel by now. I'm not seeing any changes in stable or canary on my searches.
I don't know how to disable it. There's probably a cookie you can delete which will get it back but I couldn't tell you which one.

I'm having the same problem in all browsers but it's because my shortcut is to neogaf.com instead of www.neogaf.com. Changing that fixed the problem.
Yup, that was was it. Weird.

Great, now I can't use my profile with the old version of Chrome. Uninstalled and reinstalled, same issues.

Yeah that happens when you switch out to a beta, and then back again. If you just put up with the pop-up message, it'll eventually fix itself when the next version gets pushed down the tubes to you, or you can try and update.
I think versions 25 and 26 use the same profile format, so you could feasibly move from stable to beta or bleeding to fix this in the short term.

Here's a quick question. Does anyone know why my GPUs (two GTX 670s) run at full tilt when I have Chrome open? They're generating a lot of heat just browsing the web and I want to disable this.
I've googled the problem but all I can find are about:flags for disabling 2D canvasing that don't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Okay, this is driving me nuts. Every goddamn time I make a new tab I have to click on it, click on another tab, and then click back on it to see the actual page. It even does it sometimes when I go to a new page.
I'm having problem with https searches in Chrome stable (switched to beta) - loading https://www.google.com takes around for a minute or loads indefinitely. Tried turning off one extension that I'm using and still the same.
Other https sites from google like gmail loads quick, G+ loads slow too. FF and Safari on my machine (OSX) doesn't exhibit this behavior.

At least your tabs work somewhat. After a set amount of time, it seems opening new tabs won't work for me. They just hang there, half loaded and never complete. The little loading icon perpetually animating. I can still load content in old tabs that were already working, but only if I navigate within the same domain. Any attempt to navigate outside of that url (say, from neogaf to Google+ instead of from neogaf thread 1 to thread 2), will result in the same loading problem.
Additionally, if I decide to close out normally, upon reopening, chrome will not save my session properly. Instead, it opens up tabs that were open probably an hour ago. Plus, chrome doesn't close out completely as checking task manager has chrome still running and taking up a massive amount of memory.
I don't know what they did in this update but most of the time as soon as it loads I'm at 100% cpu and it hangs then crashes.
I can use it for short periods but I close and open Chrome quite a lot and it seems to be really hit and miss right now.
