Canary is incredibly broken right now. It's stuck on "Update Downloaded", and crashes frequently. I've tried reinstalling, but it had no affect.
Beta build on the other hand is fantastic. It's great to see all these security updates. Great work, guys!

Once again, Chrome doesn't detected the update in the Mac version. I've been having to do this manually for three versions in a row.

I can notice the increased speed. Love it!
I will see if wrong auto-complete entries are still displayed. Just because a word begins with the same letter, it should not be displayed in auto-complete if the second letters don't match. This has been happening now for a few releases.

The Chrome auto-update works great, but why is it when there is an update that the old directory and files aren't removed?
9:06 AM, September 02, 2010

I'm also getting an update error. It says,
"Update server not available (error: 12)"

I had to uninstall the old Chrome beta version first before I could install the new beta version. It was quite time-consuming,.

Awesome update. Thanks! The PDF Viewer is really useful.

I think I prefer the old colour. Is there a theme that sets it back?

Victor said...
Once again Chrome doesn't auto-update. Had to do it manually ONCE AGAIN!
Maybe you oughta fire the programmers responsible for autoupdate and keep the rest.

Chrome still segfaults for me. It has never been able to run on my (new, old) hardware.

Why did the Go button dissapear?
Please, allow us to get it back.

@Fabio Turati:
You can find the old blue theme in the official Extensions gallery, search for "Classic Blue Theme" and install it!

Great, another not-useful feature, Click on the subdirectory in bookmars opens first bookmark in directory instead of instant list subdirectory. Now i have to wait till it decides to show.
Gimme my old chrome back!

Why there is no more "List view" in the New Tab page for most visited sites??
Please, take the List view back! I don't like the mini-screen preview...

snozwoz said...
thank guys, your hard work is appreciated.
Three comments,
1. i notice the memory consumption is generally higher than it use to be in much earlier versions, but performance is better.
2. Oh i really wish we had the ability to change print and page setup, i hate printing with the URL and date in the header and footer.
3. It would be good if i can add permanent SSL exceptions.

@Rafael Fischmann/Victor:
Just because a release has been made available on a channel does not mean we immediately trigger updates on all clients. There are three reasons a client won't pick up an update instantly:
(1) The client only checks for an update periodically.
(2) We purposefully rate-limit updates for reasons like limiting server load, testing a release on a narrower population so we can abort the rollout with minimal damage if an unexpected glitch appears, etc.
(3) Once an update is installed Chrome needs to be restarted before it will take effect.
The update system is working as designed. There's no reason to "fire the programmers" just because the system is more complex than you perceive.

===PROBLEM===
When I click on a letter ("g" for exemple) on my keyboard, Chrome doesn't open or select my bookmarks that have letter "g"...
I have 600 bookmarks and I need that!
Deception!

Chrome autoupdate failing on mac, macbook pro mac os x 10.5.8. Chrome -> about google chrome reports "Google Chrome is up to date (5.0.375.127). Same result after restart chrome and reboot.

@I. Felix: do you have an URL which demonstrates the issue? Or a bug number? :)

Fabio Turati said...
@G Cv: thanks, I had looked for it in the themes gallery (Options->Personal Settings->Choose a theme), I didn't think themes could also be found in the Extensions gallery.

Not sure if anyone else that uses the stable Google Chrome 6.* on Ubuntu noticed that the page(starting under he address bar) freezes from time to time for up to 4-5 seconds, but then it returns to the normal state.
In the frozen state the scrollbar doesn't work but only the text in the address bar can be selected and the tabs can be changed.

Ctrl+Shift+B is much harder to press with one hand. Why change it from Ctrl+B? That's going to annoy the hell out of me every day now.

The Bookmark Manager doesn't show anything.
It's also crashed twice on me, and the cpu consumption is quite high to the point I had to reboot.
I love what you did with the Options Button!

cichy said...
As reply to my previus comments, bookmarks list is as wide as the longest title in bookmars. When you try to open sub-directory with bookmars and they are wider than spae left, you open o top of the sub-directory of bookmars. When you click on the sub-directory bookmars folder before they show, you end up with "clicked" bookmark which would show in this place.
Please fix bookmarks list width (fixed width), not dynamic as it is now.

Using Chrome 6.0.472.53 on Mac OS X 10.6.4 and flash videos will not display correctly. I've tried two sites, Break and Youtube, and neither one displays the flash video. The audio plays, just not the video.

PROBLEM
After I updated Google Chrome my PC is restarting itself when Google Chrome is open.
Windows XP, 1,4 Ghz 256 MB RAM
12:14 PM, September 03, 2010
Corey Allhands said...
The Problem there is that you're running XP on 256 MB of RAM.
12:16 PM, September 03, 2010
Corey Allhands said...
Also, my Flash problem seems to have resolved itself after several restarts of the browser. It is working consistently now.

theyjusthowlallnightlong said...
It's pretty neat overall, I'm always seeing and feeling the improvements. But still, it sucks that you can't drag the favorite star to your bar, I used to do that all the time, so I could put priority bookmarks right there and not at the bottom of the list.
1:45 PM, September 03, 2010
Mitch said...
My computer started crashing like crazy . . maybe due to Flash? It got so bad I had to switch to FireFox for the time being.

netster007x said...
Great update but have to mention there is a very evident (although non-critical) bug. That is Press Alt+F, the unified menu appears, with mnemonics underlined. The 't' for "New tab" is underlined and the 'T' for "Tools" is also underlined. This conflict makes the "Tools" mnemonic inaccurate.

I quite like Chrome 6.
Some suggestions:
1.) FULL URL display, please.
Yes. Do not tell me I get the full URL when I copy, I simply *want* a full and proper display. And I am not the only one.
Has someone already made an extension to fix this?
2.) New Chrome "grey" theme: A step back
Was there really a need to change this to this kind of grey? Especially on my laptop it easily gets a purplish hue, does not look well.
-> please add the old "chrome blue" to the default designs offered by Google. I already use a user-made "Chrome Blue":

I love Google Chrome! More than any other browser.
This last update has not gone well though, it would not update then it took forever to update, it got stuck updating.
Now password manager is not working properly, it is not detecting I am on a site that I have a saved password for! I fill it in (again) and it asks do I want to save the password, I click yes but it changes nothing.
I might uninstall / reinstall.
I still love chrome though :)

I really love the new chrome 6, but I have only one problem with it. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and chrome pdf viewer doesn't function. It gives an error: "Missing plugin" on black background.
4:28 AM, September 04, 2010
Mark said...
I love chrome 6 on Linux! I am running it on Ubuntu 10. The only issue was that Flash 32-bit was installed and I had to manually install 64-bit plugins. Google search lead me to a page with directions to fix this. I just removed Firefox. Thanks tireless developers! Your Linux support is much appreciated!

I still find sites that bypass the pop-up blocker and open a new advertisement tab, like www.sratim.co.il (an Israeli site).
Click anywhere in the page and a new advertisement tab will open.

"But still, it sucks that you can't drag the favorite star to your bar, I used to do that all the time, so I could put priority bookmarks right there and not at the bottom of the list."
I really miss this feature too. Although, truth be told I have already fixed their position long ago. I hope it comes back though.

Please let us chose between short URL to full URL.
I'd even be pleased to get back the blue color design.
Chrome starts to feel heavy.
It is not snappy as it used to be.

The new UI is great but it seems to break some themes. You might want to tell the theme designers to update them.

The removal of the bookmark manager was unnecessary. Also, I can't seem to make a new bookmark now?
1:12 PM, September 10, 2010
Antony said...
When you auto-update chrome you should give me a notification. Just politeness really isn't it.
I use Ctrl-B a lot so I was very confused when it stopped working without any explanation today.
I can see you have tweaked the behaviour of the bookmarks bar which is an improvement but why change the shortcut?

The new UI is really slick guys. Good job on that.

Dan Tsui said...
YES, I agree with Longasc --
FULL URL display, please. Or at LEAST give us the option to display back the HTTP:// - dont go assuming no one wants it. All the techies do.
Call me old school but the younger generation needs to understand there is a protocol necessary when requesting a web page and not just by magic.
2:46 PM, September 15, 2010
Dan Tsui said...
And with the other comments Ill add:
1. Why fix it if it ain't broke-- give us back the CTRL-B.
2. Put back "Chrome Blue"
In essence Google if you're listening, don't mess with what people are used to and not tell us about it. You gave us these habits w/ Chrome so at least make it backwards compatible and stop making assumptions!...or else that'll be like Microsoft!
