Chrome Stable Channel Update

There is a bug in the latest update that causes the browser to crash. Various oddball url's will crash chrome

http://b/%00 will crash chrome - this is being reported all over and there is an interesting back and forth by Chrome coders here - https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=533361#c3

 

It's not caused by last update. Previous version already had this bug.

 

Sorry I had assumed they were talking about the recent update - my bad.

 

Looks like with the last chrome update i also was given a new extension...Google Docs Offline

Version 46.0.2490.71 m (64-bit)

Google Chrome is up to date. This update includes 24 security fixes.

 

Second attempt I got ~ Version 46.0.2490.71 m (64-bit)

First attempt I got ~
I didn't download Chrome again, I just closed it, opened it and tried to update again.

Chrome is weird.

 

Had the same error here as well, I just hit F5 to refresh the about page & it then installed the update ok.

 

Same error message here too on the first try. Tried again and it worked.

 

First try compression failure here as well. Second try was successful.

Is there a slight change in color to the Chrome icon with this release or I am just losing my mind?

 

I'll try hitting F5 next time!

 

Well, I'm guessing it's a Chrome bug. Still weird though lol.

 

Ermm ... it looks the same to me, but I have had brain damage.

 

Same here.

Given those two choices, I'll go with you're just losing your mind.

 

@Page42 Up until 10 minutes ago, I was certain I had lost my mind as well.

I searched all over the web, including Chromium sources and detailed release notes, etc. and found nothing.

However... the new icon has gone "flatter", I suppose.

Left is from 46.0.2490.71, while Right is from 45.0.2454.101.

 

Okay, I'm starting to see the change as well.

 

I noticed my chrome tray icon looked different soon after the last update. It caught my eye because of a change of color or brightness.

 

I thought the duller colour was my eyes, and convinced myself it looked the same. lol

 

Chrome has just been updated to include Flash Player 19.0.0.226, with Chrome version 46.0.2490.71.

EDIT: So it appears as though they pushed Flash update within same Chrome version.

EDIT2: What I am finding to be odd, though, is that Chrome is now starting to execute Flash from User directory:
C:\Users\{user-name}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash\19.0.0.226\pepflashplayer.dll

Normally it would copy that Flash DLL to it's typical Program Files location and execute from there. So something is different here with this update.

 

I'm still seeing 207

 

@Page42 On my system, it updated Flash during system boot. So I was alerted to the Flash DLL (pepflashplayer.dll) trying to execute while Windows was still booting.

EDIT: If I had to guess, I would guess that one of the two scheduled tasks for GoogleUpdate is likely what brought in the Flash update for Chrome. You could try manually going into Task Scheduler and running those tasks. However, this update appears to be coming out fast as Adobe has updated all of their usual download pages already which is unusually quick for Adobe.
