Odd typing lag in Google Chrome on FB messages

Hi All,
I'm new to Mac and have what seems to be a silly question, but would love to know if anyone has seen this and might have a solution.
On Facebook using Google Chrome as the browser, when typing in a message, there is a tremendous keyboard lag. I type 5 words or so, then the appear on the screen. This lag doesn't happen when typing in URL's or other websites, just Inbox messages on FB in Chrome. No lag using Safari, just Chrome.
I really can't change from Chrome as I need everything to synch across all my PC's, laptops, etc. So I'm stuck with it. Not a huge thing I'll grant you. Just wondering if anyone has seen this or if anyone has some ideas.
Thanks very much for any insight!

Hi Ian...
It's not a virus. They probably want you to purchase security software. Nothing to be concerned about.
Also, if that happens again, besides deleting cookies, from your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to *Other forms*
Delete all Google related url's.
Quit Safari then relaunch Safari.

Google Chrome Search-bar Lag?

I have the new 2015 XPS 13 - just got it 2 days ago, but I noticed while I was using google chrome that when I was typing things into the search bar there was a slight lag and for a split second it'll show very zoomed in, low resolution search results before it jumps back to what it's supposed to look like. I attempted to take a screenshot.. this is a minor one that happened. The search result font gets larger then shrinks back - sometimes it'll be 3X larger than this:
The glitch:
The original:
I mean it's not the end of the world but I expect for this not to happen on a brand new $1500 laptop..

Hi jacquelinehan,
Welcome to the Dell Community forum, hope you're having a nice day.
Could you please confirm if you are running the most up to date version of Chrome?
Are you noticing similar slow issues when you search using Google in other web browsers such as Firefox or Internet Explorer?
Could you try running Chrome in incognito mode and let me know if you're still seeing this problem?
Could you please confirm that you don't have any extensions installed?
I suggest you clear your cache and other browser data.
Hope you have a great day and please keep me posted on this issue!

[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...

Flash player lags bad with Firefox but not with google chrome,what is the problem ?

Every time i try to play any game using flash player with Firefox i have a lot of lag time. I have to stop playing and wait for things to catch up to play to play any more,I do not have this problem with google chrome playing the same games.I have updated all add ons and plugins.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a month ago

Everyone can blame flash player if they want, but the truth is for me I went from an earlier version that had plugin container which created lag for me. I disabled the plugin container in about:config settings, and firefox worked fine. Plugin container screwed up any videos i tried to watch on the internet by freezing, lagging, and crashing firefox. I was fine after I disabled plugin container, but then eventually some time later down the road I received a warning that i would soon be forced to update my mozilla so I eventually/reluctantly gave in and complied. At this point the same problems started again!!! I disabled plugin container again and it did help a bit right away. But this version 12.0 even with plugin container disabled with just a few tabs open I receive choppy video (like a snapshot of the video at 3 seconds in, and then another snap at 6 seconds in) I'm only seeing snapshots of the video like every 3 seconds while the audio continues on fine. That"s how bad the lag is. This is horrible performance for a browser. If I try to load a video while one is already playing, just that little bit of stress (2 youtube videos open at once) is all it takes to crash this poor performing version of firefox. I mean I can't even close the tabs after these situations and the audio sometime runs after closing for me as well. These problems did not start until the version changes of firefox and the addition of plugin container, not flash player. I have been a loyal mozilla fan, but my patients is wearing so so thin with the performance of this browser at the moment. Unfortunately I just realized for the first time ever I actually have to (against my will) install another browser just to watch videos. How sad is that? Considering watching videos is one of the main uses of a browser, I consider this version a failure. How could I not??? I guess I have no choice but to Chrome it up. I hope a fix for this problem can be found soon for I miss the great performing days of this previously top performing browser. Fingers Crossed!!!

Even Typing lag? Please save my Macbook!

Efficiency matters. And the super slow Macbook Pro is dragging me down
Typing lag?
Chrome browsing lag?
not to mention Photoshop, After Effects and Xcode.
(i don't dare opening MS Word, toooo slow)
I tried MacBooster and it didn't really help.
Usually I just open these softwares: Chrome, Evernote, EUdict, Flux
But even this setting could lag from time to time. (Already the minimum amount of app I could open)
What is the problem? What can I do? Should I upgrade my hardware?

Hi cecilialee,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like OS X is running slowly. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Browser zoom causes typing lag

When using Outlook.com mail, my user noticed a typing lag. I reset IE, disabled all startup items, tried an external keyboard on this laptop, deleted the built in keyboard driver and let it redetect on reboot, tried Google Chrome as an alternate browser.
No typing lag in any other app such as WordPad. I found that in IE or Chrome, 125% zoom was fine but as soon as I set it to 150%, the lag came back, that was the common denominator.

Hi,
This issue can be caused by video card and GPU acceleration.
Please disable GPU acceleration in IE and Chrome, and if you have Graphic card software, please also disable the GPU acceleration on it to check the results.

Also, update the driver for the graphic/video card driver to see what's going on.

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?

Firefox, google chrome, IE8 lose the ability to search and find text on certain archived books. IE7 can search and find. Is there a way to fix this?

Firefox, google chrome, and IE8 all have the same error. The search and find functions for certain on-line archive books does not work on these browsers. They claim that text does not exist. In IE7 the text is found. I can be typing in a word I see on the page and all three still bottom out with this error. Try this with the Scots Dialect Dictionary:http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924026538813#page/n5/mode/2up
or
A Glossary of Tudor and Stewart Words ( a google book even) http://books.google.com/books?id=hPhLAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA198&lpg=PA198&dq=tudor+exclamations&source=bl&ots=8DFgw_eH8t&sig=-Mxf2gwq3nZDVLOCn_y06ZBRIfA&hl=en&ei=O-dNTey0H8PdgQf_2cgf&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CDIQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q&f=false
Again the search and find function works with IE7 but not these new browsers. And I would love to upgrade from IE7 but cannot.
Any way to fix this on Firefox?

Works for me on Linux with Firefox 10.0.1
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hmm, could be a bad add-on. Here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning up '''bad add-ons'''. Sorry for the length -- it's not as bad as it sounds:
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
''Note: If you are blocked from navigating to this page, you can load it using the search box or "Run" dialog by typing or pasting the following and pressing Enter:''
firefox.exe "about:addons"
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
Success?
And then last but not least, if you need help with your home page or new tab page, please let us know and we can post the steps for that.

Flash Player is pre-installed in Google Chrome, but not enabled. Flash Player is not there among the plug-ins.

Flash Player is pre-installed in Google Chrome (Windows7), but not enabled and it is also not there among the list of plug-ins.

As we don't have any control over the installation process on Chrome, you'd need to seek help in the Chrome forums.
That said, this seems very odd.
Type the following in the address bar:
chrome://plugins/
Click Details and expand the list.
Scroll down, and you should be able to find Adobe Flash Player in the list.
If it's not there, I'd remove Chrome and just download it again from Google.
Also, do you have any security or privacy software (maybe from a not-so-mainstream vendor?) that might helpfully remove Flash Player for you?

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Google chrome helper

Google chrome helper is frequently using 100+% cpu when watching youtube videos in HD. Why is this so and how do I fix it? HD videos play just fine on Safari but I would hate to use safari because of the lag. Did a search and did not see anyone else with identical issues as well.

Safari - try un-installing and then re-installing.

Dodgy Font in Google Chrome BrowserLab

Hi All
I have an issue with the font being significantly different to all the other browsers in Google Chrome BrowserLab. I am novice so please forgive my ignorance, but I've been doing some research and I've downloaded font files like 'ChunkFive', but the when using this the font is really bold and thick. So I've been trying to use it in combination with my original font of 'Verdena, Arial, Helvitica, Sans-Serif' but I've had no luck.
If anyone can help me urgently I would be most grateful.
Thanks
Vincent

*cough* Well... you can ignore that specific issue that we're showing for Chrome, yes, but I wouldn't just ignore BrowserLab
The odd thing we're trying to figure out right now is that it looks fine in Chrome on the desktop, but our QE person took a screenshot of that to send to show me, and the screenshot ended up with the same font fuzziness, so the screenshot she got actually looked different from what was in the browser. We're going to investigate further, but at this point it looks like it may be a problem in Chrome itself.

Videos freeze after 5-7 seconds, no audio at all - Google Chrome

Win7 x64
Google Chrome 21.0.1180.60 m
Flash version 11.3.31.222
My os is 64-bit, but the "what version of flash are you running" window says it's 32-bit. Which strikes me as odd. Anyway,
Problem is basically laid out in the subject. No matter what video I try to play, it freezes after a few seconds. There is no audio whatsoever. I tried the uninstall (using the uninstaller) I found in another Flash forum, but it didn't help. As a matter of fact, running the uninstaller made no difference at all. Videos still played for a few seconds, sans audio, then froze.
Is there a fix for this? It only started happening yesterday.
Update: Also happens in Firefox. IE works fine.

Our Chrome browser not only automatically updates it's version (21.0.1180.60m) without notice , but the Shockwave Flash (11.3.31.222/ 11.3.300.268) plugins too!!!
I had to disable 11.3.31.222 along w. 11.3.300.268 and have 11.2 r202 (11.2.202.235) solely enabled again because this time, i had 'shockwave plugin unresponsive' at some websites that stalled pages, and of 11.3.300.268., 'unresponsive shockwave plugin' refused to play YT.
*type: chrome://plugins in address bar in chrome - click the + on the top right
And enable/disable plugins
I think d/l's here might very well work: http://www.oldapps.com/flash_player.php
or, directly
(Although it seems some are not happy w. crashing browsers and such with 11.3.300.268 version!?)
Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.268 (Non-IE)

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).
