Chrome Stable Channel Update

I have same experience. Since they announced that they've solved the problem, I didn't encounter them any more.

 

Did the new browser version just install also an extension called 'Google Docs Offline' without my consent? I have no knowledge what it is, so I turned it off.

 

New install or update? I updated it but didn't get new extensions. Although I use policy template that prevents new extension installation so somebody else should check if they got new extension.

 

I have that extension now also. I just turned it off. Stuff you copy and paste can be read.

 

@Jarmo P This happened to me with Google Docs Offline extension on latest update.

 

I updated Chrome using 'About Google Chrome..'. Then I updated my extensions, uMatrix and uBlock Origin. For that to happen, I needed allow temporary 'behind-the-scene' in uMatrix.

So I don't know if updating my extensions in 'Developer mode' temporary ticked got me actually that extension I have never seen before, rather than the browser update.

Thank you Dragon1952 & WildByDesign, now I know at least it is not maybe nothing else to worry, except as usual the privacy perhaps.

 

No new extension added with update. Thanks for reporting that.

 

Chrome 45 seems to have a problem with Comodo IS/Antivirus. Chrome.exe needs to be added as an exclusion from the HIPS module.

When you originally install Chrome it comes with a bunch of Docs extensions and apps that you can remove (about:extensions and about:apps)

I didn't see anything new installed since the update, but maybe if you installed Chrome a very long time ago you never had these apps/extensions in the first place, and thus it is installing them.

 

Anyone having website rendering problems since upgrading to 45.0.2454.85 I have had to use Firefox several times because some web page elements were not showing up. Also had the problem with the How to Geek website thinking I had an ad-blocker.

I didn't notice any problems after upgrading. I visited How-To Geek and didn't get any notice about adblocker (although I use one).

 

Finally, after all other major browsers, Chrome has Logjam protection:

Warning could be little more noob friendly though

 

I updated chrome and received a few google extras like docs and sheets etc.

 

The stable channel has been updated to 45.0.2454.93 for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

 

Thanks, Minimalist. Updated no problems.

 

Cheers for the news about the new update.

 

Google Chrome 45.0.2454.99 released today.

 

Thanks, anon.

 

I see on the blogspot that it is being referred to as a Stable Channel Refresh, and contains a critical update to Adobe Flash Player (19.0.0.185).

 

Thanks, anon
seems new widevinecdmadapter.dll comes with each version.
