Ask HN: Do you face problems with using Google Chrome?
It seems Chrome has become quite unstable and hangs frequently requiring restart of the linux/mac laptops. Does it happen to you often?
- matthiaswh 15y agoNo. I very, very rarely have any problems. I run the beta version. Are you sure you are running the stable production release?
- lazy_nerd 15y agoCurrently using 8.0.55 Beta.
- nabraham 15y agoI use a pc and have multiple chrome windows open, each with 20-30 tabs, which I leave open. After hibernating 5-6x it starts to get unstable. It used to be fine, but the flash upgrades have made things horrible.
- lazy_nerd 15y agoYou are right. It happens more frequently whenever I open a website with flash content.
- rlorenzo 15y agoSometimes when entering a search term in the address bar the "instant search" goes a little crazy and loses half of the text I typed in. Not a big deal, but happens once in a while.
- lazy_nerd 15y agoI face that exact same problem on my Nexus One browser.
- T-R 15y agoI run Chrome Beta in Linux on a 64bit Sony laptop, which is pretty much asking for trouble. Aside from Flash videos occasionally not playing, I haven't had any problems.
- lazy_nerd 15y agoI also have 64-bit linux running with Chrome beta. If I have 20+ tabs open and open any website with flash content, it inevitably hangs the machine.
- dillon 15y agoOn my Mac I have the Beta of Chrome and I almost never have problems. On my Windows partition I use the stable releases and I never have problems. I have more problems using Safari than I do in Chrome, not sure about Firefox 4, never tried it out yet.
- code 15y agoGoogle Chrome Dev v12. something Had several problems, can't remember them all. One that I do remember is it being extremely problematic or slow loading Google Maps mashup base stuff where Safari perfectly just worked.
- minalecs 15y agohave you tried removing all your extensions ?
- lazy_nerd 15y agoNo extensions on Chrome :)
