Chrome Stable channel updated

You mean this one http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#no-referrers

Works great, i use --no-referrers and --incognito

 

It probably is a new UI tweak.
Good eye.
I like it too.

I'm not sure where to ask this, but is anyone else getting an "extension error" with HTTPS Everywhere recently? If I enable developer mode I get the message "This extension failed to modify a network request because the modification conflicted with another extension" under it. The only other extensions I have at the moment are ABP, ChromeIPass, and Do Not Track Me.

 

IDK about chromePass, but the other two extensions use webrequest API, which HTTPS Everywhere uses. So I'd say it's Do Not Track Me conflicting.

 

Just re-installed Chrome after having been using Chromium for a little while and I noticed that the installer now installs into the Program Files folder by default rather than AppData. Don't know if anyone has noticed this, but thought I'd give it a mention.

 

Correct. I am running Version 25.0.1364.5 dev-m and it installs there, so all subsequent ones will also.

I tend to run dev versions because they have fixes much faster, and exploits are patched almost immediately. Although I prefer Chromium, Chromium doesn't auto update. Not a fan of autoupdates, but I manage far far too many computers to not have it.. Updating Chromium every week was becoming a nuisance.

 

The Chrome team is excited to announce the promotion of Chrome 24 to the stable channel. Chrome 24.0.1312.52 has been updated for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome Frame.
This release also contains an update to Flash (11.5.31.137) as well as improvements in speed and stability.

 

Now if they'd just update the Beta channel, lol. I'm still stuck on 24.0.1312.52, which is still labeled as beta and according to Google Update, still the latest they have for me.

 

Well I don't know about you guys, but this time Chrome's update messed up my browsing big time. Clicking on any of my bookmarks would show me the opening page after 1 full minute! I've tried disabling my AV's webguard, opening Chrome without Sandboxie all to no avail. IE works perfectly well which means it is definitely Chrome's latest update.

I've just restored an image with Chrome before the update, and it is working normally. Anybody else experiencing these problems with a solution?

 

It's working fine here.

 

Not the same issue you have but Words with Friends on Facebook refuses to load with ver 24. Chrome 23 and 25 dev build work fine.

 

The Chrome team is happy to announce the promotion of Chrome 25 to the beta channel for Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome Frame. Chrome 25.0.1364.29 contains a number of new improvements, including:

• Improvements in managing and securing your extensions
• Continued testing of search and the new tab page
• Better support for HTML5 time/date inputs
• Javascript speech API support
• Better WebGL error handling
• And lots of other features for developers

 

Did you get it to run okay, Osaban?

 

Took them long enough, lol. Thanks, Page.

 

Unfortunately not. Sometimes pages load up after a long time and at times they don't load at all. I was quite happy to stay with version 23, but the damn thing updates itself automatically. I'm using IE9 at the moment, I have sent a short description of my problem to Google, I hope with the next update they fix it. I might even try version 25 beta except I'm not really in the mood to investigate the problem, lately if anything happens I quickly restore an image.

 

25 is working pretty well for me, Osaban. 24 seems to have some problems with slowdown, especially on heavy sites like TheVerge, Chive and some others.

 

I've just done a quick search on the Internet and it is a real epidemic with machines running Vista. The browser is practically unusable with this update.
Edit: They found the problem.

This worked for me, and there are other possibilities if this doesn't work, one can check this link:

Have you disabled Google Update in Plug-ins?
I see that you have found a solution via thread compositing (whatever that means), but I'm still curious about the updating.
All Chrome updates have been remarkably stable for me, since the exasperating "Aw, Snap!" fiasco I was experiencing about a year or so ago.

 

If you don't mind, how is the scrolling when you go to Ars Technica? I find the scrolling for Ars Technica (as well as The Verge) really laggy/jerky even when using Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller.

Thanks!

 

Well, on Chrome 25 just using the default options for scrolling, I didn't notice any real lag. I can't re-check right now because Ars has taken a dive and went poof. The Verge, well, I've nearly stopped going there. In the last week, no matter what browser I use, it's practically unusable. I don't know if they've screwed with the coding, put some crazy, large ads up that I'm blocking and are still trying to load, or what. But, that place is a nightmare, and that's after I use up most of my patience waiting for the front page to load.
