Awesome update! The Chrome team on top of their game like always! Love it! =)
I am hoping this is finally a crash free browser. I hope Google Chrome team finally got it right. I will report back if any crashes.
Reporting back.It still gets shockwave crashes sometimes. I guess thats just unavoidable for google chrome. Still a great browser though.
Looks like you fixed the major flashplayer bugs that plagued the last couple of releases: no more blue faces, and it is finally not crashing 99% of the time with hardware acceleration turned on for those of us with Nvidia gpus.
Great job!
I spoke too soon: the flashplayer still crashes if you have an nvidia graphics chipset, and you have hardware acceleration for plashpalyer turned on.
I read too much about bugs in Google Chrome browser. Have you ever heard about TESTING, Chrome-team ?
It is a bloody shame that your browser needed to be updated 5x in one month !!!
Bold fonts still look terrible on some sites, Google News is one of them?! what the...
anybody? I had to revert back to version 17.0.963.83, which displays the fonts fine...
This release is stable. Stable for crash! Comparing for previous ones. Thank you very much!
Since this update I can personnalize my tumblr blog with Chrome : that's way easier ! Thanks (at least ;) )
