Google Chrome BETA

Google Chrome BETA now available for Linux.
Whether Chrome will become the competition Firefox?
I will certainly switch to Chrome.

not to mention once you download it, it's a giant confusing tarbomb of crap.
no clear instructions on building.
also it's always behind chromium builds.
Word. I've also thought about trying out Iron, but then... rapidshare links? WTF? In the age of google code, sourceforge etc? That is just like saying: Yes, we develop opensource software, but we make it hard to reach (and therefore maintain) the code, because we do some bad things with it we do not want anyone to know.

I don't agree at all with this. I do care about privacy and I wonder whether chromium also has googles tracking "features".

Stange behavior with google chrome beta

I realize this is not an Apple app, but...
I noticed that my cpu utilization (iStat) was pegged on both cpus, and top shows that a google chrome process is responsible. Closing all the chrome tabs and even quitting chrome still leaves a chrome process eating all the available cpu (aroiund 90%). The only way to get rid of it is with a command line kill.
Has anyone else noticed this? What is this zombie process doing? Why does it not go away when I quit the app? Is there something sinister going on by the "do no evil" corporation?

We talk a lot about, and try to help with, quite a few programs that do not come from Apple. The problem with trying to work with a beta program is different. They are flakey and unpredictable by nature and usually have their own support groups for bug reports, etc. Considering that Google released their Chrome for Mac beta so recently, I would expect the browser to remain a curiosity for the time being. People can take a look, but don't depend on a program like this.
I assume you are running the latest beta for Chrome:
http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=mac
Google does have a support forum for Chrome that might help:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/label?lid=43d46e8d92fef559&hl=en
Here's a post about Mac CPU usage and their answer about how to deal with bugs:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=4c00368cc27e1829&hl=en
Other people that are reporting here about the bookmarks and other problems should check to see if they are running the latest build, and if they are, then either deal with the issues until a new build comes out, report bugs or ask questions on their support forum, forget it for the time being, or get involved with the developer community.
I'd say that a runaway process qualifies as a bug if all other programs and systems on your computer work well.

Flash Player is out of date in Google Chrome

I have a Macbook with Mac OS X 10.5.8 version (Intel Core 2 Duo).
I run the internet on Google Chrome, but some time ago it started showing this message on every window.
"Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date."
It shows grey windows with no flash content. And when I hit the button "Run this time", it starts playing the flash content. But it is an annoyance when I have to hit this button on every new window.
I wonder how to solve this problem. Google advises me to solve this problem by displaying this message>
Note: Although not recommended, if you don't want Google Chrome to notify you when a plug-in is out of date, use the command line flag --allow-outdated-plugins. Instructions on how to add a command line flag can be found on our Chromium site .
But I tried to follow the command and it was too difficult for me to understand.
I updated the Flash Player many times and I am sure it is up to date, but somehow this message still shows up. I also tried to uninstall my Google Chrome but don't know how.
I like Google Chrome better than Safari because it responds faster than Safari and has less freezing problems.

Hi,
I downloaded the Google Chrome from the link that you provided.But somehow it doesn't work on my Mac. According to my computer specifications it is supposed to be compatible. It installs with the strange icon in front. And when I try to open the application it displays a message "You cannot use this Google Chrome on this Version of Mac OS". Please see the images that were displayed on my computer. I am confused.

Using Chrome beta, fullscreen flash videos not fullscreening Chrome

└─> yinfo google-chrome-beta
Name : google-chrome-beta
Version : 24.0.1312.35-1
Some recent update seems to have done this: http://i.imgur.com/IspAE.png Hitting fullscreen on a flash video will make it fullscreen within Chrome, but Chrome stays windowed, resulting in video cut off at bottom and also, Youtube doesn't auto-720p+ when hitting fullscreen on the video as it's still registering it being in windowed mode I think.
If I hit F11 first, then fullscreen the video, it's fine, but I'd like to have it back to auto-fullscreen. (In my settings>privacy>content settings>fullscreen, I do have youtube.com allowed as an exception). Also I opted out of the HTML5 trial on Youtube, and this affects all flash whether youtube, twitch, etc. Thanks for any help!

Have you tried downgrading libxcursor?

New 27 iMac won't run Chrome Beta (fresh download) - I used Migration Asst.

I just setup my shiny new 27 inch i7 and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff from an older dual G5 running Leopard. It took nearly 12 hours to copy the 300+GB of data.
Mostly things like iPhoto, Lightroom, Mail, etc. work GREAT.
However, one of the first orders of business was to download the Google Chrome beta which I've been running on my MBP and MacPro.
When I try to open the Chrome app it immediately quits (tried a restart of the iMac). The detail report doesn't shed any light on what happened to me (maybe others would be able to determine the cause from the report).
Any ideas ?
I was wondering if by copying stuff from a Leopard system (and non-Intel) that I now have some backwards compatible setting ON that is preventing Chrome from loading.
I've never used Migration Assistant before, always hand copying what I needed on a fresh install. Maybe I should reinstall Snow Leopard over my current User folders.
Thanks,
Ed

In the end a manual transfer of pictures, music, data, etc. was far faster than using Migration Assistant and worked fine. Just replaced Music, Pictures, etc. with the folder from the old computer and all upgrades were performed and everything was in place.
What really made the manual migration palatable is that I have MobileMe. All of those data files (address book, mail preferences, bookmarks, etc etc) moved automatically via MobileMe sync. Without MobileMe, it would have been much harder I suppose.
More difficult was the hassle of reinstalling Adobe Creative Suite, Office, etc. But in the end a fresh install of everything has made my new iMac i7 a screaming fast machine.
Absolutely love it !
Thanks for all the advice.
Ed

[SOLVED] Google chrome/chromium freezing when typing in address bar

Hello again everyone, sorry to bother you.
Im using Arch 64 bit + kde.
Recently my chromium began freezing at random when I begin typing in the address bar. Since it persisted after several updates I installed google chrome beta from AUR, and the problem persists there. I've tried deleting the configuration directory to no avail.
I am a web developer and therefore this is kind of extremely annoying, I need more browsers than just Firefox so I thought about asking your help, are there any of you with a 64 bit arch system in which chrome works flawlessly? Did you do anything special?
Im beggining to think this is a chrome bug:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/C … 253b&hl=en
I found as well an old thread here in the forums:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129632
But I decided to not be a thread necromancer.
My google chrome version is: 18.0.1025.39 beta
My chromium version is: 17.0.963.56
I'm willing to recompile this thing if you think that will help, but I've heard horrible stories about compiling chrome. Any help will be tremendously appreciated.

yes, my card is nvidia 8600GT.
This morning I spent a few experiments.
1. I noticed that if you run full-screen application (game), then when you try to switch to the console - is a black screen without text, a problem arises as in KDE and in xfce, if you switch to the console without running full screen applications, the when switching to the console you can see the shell prompt to login (enter your login and password), both in KDE and in xfce.
I tried to remove the option "VGA = 773" from the boot parameter has the kernel (GRUB), and the problem with switching to the console was gone.
2. I made a nvidia-xconfig, creating a file /etc/x11/xorg.conf, rebooted (with the VGA = 773), and logged in to KDE user denis (yes my name is Denis too ), the name of my new account, the name of the old - user0), and the Problem with switching to the console was gone, at least for now.
I think that the Problem with chromium somehow connected with the fact that the video card is Nvidia and its mode of operation, which hurt when you log in to your account.
How does chromium in KDE in your account until Dennis, I have not tested that particular - will be tested, the result accomplish your goal.
So try to remowe vga=773 from kernel line, and and see how it will work chromium.
But i still dont know, why chromium work fine in xfce, but freezing in KDE...

What version of Google chrome is better to use on iMac running Lion

Seem to be having a lot of trouble using Google Chrome on my iMac running OSX Lion 10.7.3. Each time I use it, I get the message that my profile couldn't be opened. Then when I try to quit Chrome it causes my computer to freeze and I end up having to force quit. Often times when I then restart my Mac Chrome just starts automatically. Should I be using Chrome Beta instead of the standard Chrome? Are there any other suggestions out there that might help mesolve this problem? I don't remember ever creating a Google profile so don't undeerstand why I keep getting that message. I can't seem to figure out where that profile would be in Chrome so that I could sign out of it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

No, you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first before upgrading any higher. Note that your system does support a higher upgrade, but Snow Leopard is required first.

CRVS2010 Beta - Printing does not work in Google Chrome

I 've run into an issue with printing crystal reports using Google Chrome. I've tested this on 4 different computers with the same result. When a user clicks print the printer dialog does not appear and the report will not print.
The version of Google Chrome tested is 6.0.472.63

ActiveX print works on IE. But I had to do a bunch of ActiveX and security configurations in IE (Using Server 2008) - allow ActiveX download, etc., etc.
PDF print mode does not work on my computer either. However I have the same build on this box as the public download. The latest internal build does print and export to pdf with no issues. So, I suspect this was a bug, but it is now resolved and should be OK at RTM.

Are there any browsers for Mac other than Safari and Google Chrome that are better with adobe flash for my Macbook 2009?

On Safari Adobe Flash freezes at times on popular Flash chatroom I visit and on Google Chrome when I try to type the typing is laggy delayed. Adobe Flash needs to be fixed in Safari and possibly other Browsers, and Google Chromes html5 or whatever flash replacement their browser uses ***** on older hardware.

Go for Safari always, you will have more advantages than any other browser. You can safely install the Adobe Flash pluguin, it will install as pref pane in your System Preferences. From there you can limit its access, block sites for storing info in your mac.
Under the advanced tab of the Flash Player in System Preferences, check “Notify me to install updates”, so you are always up to date (feel free to check out any update directly form the Adobe website to be safe).
Steve does't want to allow Flash for iOS due to security issues (long story). But it's OK for mac, if you keep an eye on it.
Google's Chrome its decent, but you know, it's Google. I will prefer to take the advantage of the Apple's ecosystem, like syncing all Safari content and passwords with iCloud, to keep using it in your iOS devices. You can have an open page in your mac, and go to your iPad and continue with the same page.
Also you can find some useful Safari extensions that will trick the websites to load an HTML5 version of the video instead of flash (like if you were on an iPad).

Mozilla crashes all ime, you have no way to send an email, will continue with google chrome that works better

"appcompat.txt" every time I open a tab, specially tabs about Palestine.
Suspicious to say little.
The same in Google Chrome has no problems.
It happens since last year.
I had to migrate to google chrome as default browser, sorry, I give up.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

Being prompted to update Flash, ignore? v11.2.202.228 and v11.2.202.229 Google Chrome

Just prompted by Adobe that an upgrade to Adobe Flash Player is available – within the bullets say includes security enhancements.
Two weeks ago I was made aware that there were security vulnerabilities with Flash. My laptop was infected (3/26). One of the recommendations from my anti-virus software company was to keep all Adobe products updated, especially Flash. Also, I was given the recommendation to consider choosing a less common browser than IE; he used Google Chrome which has its own security features. I had used Chrome once before when it was beta but downloaded the new Chrome, set security settings and testing it out. A few days later, someone I know also in the IS community said their company (a large international company) is uninstalling all Adobe products from all of their employee computers completely.
In reading the Developer Release Notes, this upgrade is for v11.2.202.228.
The Adobe Flash website section detects I have v11.2.202.229 installed. The latest version listed underneath was .228. I questioned how I could have a newer, higher number, version if .228 is the latest release? This was odd, needed an answer and to verify I was current.
In reading the Security Bulletin, it says… “These priority 2 updates address critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.63 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris, and Adobe Flash Player 11.1.111.7 and earlier versions for Android 3.x and 2.x. These vulnerabilities could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system… … …Adobe recommends users of Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.63 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh and Linux update to Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.228 … … ...can install the update via the update mechanism within the product when prompted. Google Chrome will be updated automatically, so no user action is required. Google Chrome users can verify that they have updated to Google Chrome version 18.0.1025.151, which includes Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.229.”
This answered my question. I am current…and then I found an Adobe forum thread asking if 11.2.202.229 files installed in the correct place. I am deducing from the bulletin that the v.229 is designed with content or files specific for Google Chrome. And I am also deducing I was prompted that a new update is available because Flash Auto Update is looking for any version other than or is “not v.228” and not looking for “both v.228 AND v.229 files” on one’s computer? Concluding that I should ignore this prompt, check “do not remind me about this update” now and in the future if using Chrome [but I would still always need to verify Flash has been updated on my computer or verify I have the latest version of Google Chrome, before ignoring]? And if I do choose not to continue using Google Chrome (uninstall), I should then resume with manual updates. Please provide feedback.
If true, my recommendation to Adobe would be to design the Flash Auto Update to search for *all* versions related to the latest release to avoid a false prompt from appearing and/or *also include within the text of the standard Auto-update prompt’s window the same verbiage as within the Security Bulletin (which is not normally read by users) regarding Google Chrome, directing that no user action is required. It may or may not be harmful for someone to proceed with installing v.228 when they already have v.229… meanting it may not delete or replace any important files specific to Google Chrome and protecting against security vulnerability as it might be that .229 may only have a few additional files. *Another recommendation would be that both the .228 and .229 v for Google Chrome be listed as the latest release on Adobe Flash website page and release content. This may have been a timing issue. Google/Adobe might want to re-consider the timing/order in which they deploy their versions or re-consider the auto-update feature within Google Chrome all in itself to avoid confusion, avoid the need to then verify it anyway afterwards (an added step in itself) and avoid Google Chrome users that are completely unaware of this and what action to take, from updating to a different incompatible version that could possibly conflict with the requirements of Google Chrome or its security. However, everything would be resolved by the first recommendation. I did wonder why I just got prompted today for a release on March 28th, but luckily it looks like I have the latest version. And I did find it interesting how I noticed underneath the install for Adobe AIR that you may have to disable your anti-virus before installing.
I look forward to your feedback to my question confirming whether or not I should just to ignore this update. In effort to prevent PCs from future attacks, I provided my feedback and recommendations. Thank you.

Hi thanks, I have Vista 64 bit. Both of these directories or folders exist. Here are the files they contain.
\System 32\:
Flash64_11_1_102.ocx
FlashUtil64_11_1_102_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil64_11_1_102_ActiveX (2/19/2012)…v11.1.102 so should I install.
FlashInstall
\SysWOW64\:
Flash9f.ocx
Flash11f.ocx
FlashUtil9f (10/16/2008)
FlashUtil11e_ActiveX (2/6/2012)
FlashUtil11f_ActiveX (2/16/2012)
FlashUtil11f_ActiveX.dll
FlashInstall
install
Chrome was installed after 3/26. I am guessing these are for Active X for IE and they don’t look like the latest version. As I mentioned, when I checked with Adobe to see what version is running on my system it only displays the latest version for Google Chrome which is a current one. So one (a user) wouldn’t know of the other versions that need to be updated. You are correct that I thought there was only one version on my system. Thanks for informing me, I didn’t even search or think of that. If I forcefully download the update anyway, will it update both of these directories?
Also when you say, “Manually downloading or updating Flash Player from Adobe will not affect Chrome's installation of Flash Player.” I realize moving forward it wouldn’t affect future Chrome installs but did you also mean downloading .228 when I have .229 will not affect this currently the installed version?..…if built-in, does Google Chrome store any files on my system or is it completely built-in?

How do I report a bug against Flash Player for Google Chrome?

Flash Player for Google Chrome is currently developed jointly between Adobe and Google. Because of this relationship, we would like to encourage users that are encountering issues with Chrome's Flash Player to report bugs directly to the Chromium database. You can do this by filling out the following form:
New Chromium bug report
Please include the following details:
Operating System
Chrome version
Flash Player version
URL where problem was encountered
Steps to reproduce
Other browsers tested
Crash ID if applicable (visit "about:flash" in Chrome to find the appropriate crash ID.)
If you are running into a video or 3D related bug, please navigate to "about:gpu", save and attach this information to your bug report
Once added, please create a new forum thread (or bug report at bugbase.adobe.com) with your Chromium bug URL/number so we can follow up internally.
Please be aware that Chrome Windows now includes a new, more secure, plugin platform for Flash Player (PPAPI). When troubleshooting your problem, we recommend testing against the older NPAPI version of Flash Player. Steps detailing this process can be found here: Enable system Flash Player in Google Chrome | Windows | Mac
Finally, you might also consider testing your issue out against the Chrome beta and Canary (alpha) builds to see if the problem has been resolved.

Hi Ellen,
Hope you are doing good.
The best option would be to raise a OSS incident in the component: CA-VE-VEV or CA-VE-CAD so that my colleagues can actually investigate this further and release a bug patch if needed.
Thank you!
Kind Regards,
