I just noticed a weird problem. Or at least I think it's a problem.



Should Chrome really use this much memory, or is this normal? I mean the huge one, I know it splits processes.

Your first problem is that your name is spelled wrong. Check Chrome's internal task manager to see what in particular is using all of the memory. Wrench>Tools>Task Manager

Huh. It was a 4chan tab. Oh well, problem solved, nevermind.

Hey everybody look at this guy!

Seriously though there's an option for 4chan surfing. It's called incognito. It won't save you any RAM but it might save you from some immortal shame.

Shame? Ok? It was an image-heavy thread, and I figure preloading images caused the huge spike. It's just a site, and I'd rather have just discussed the memory problem I thought I had, not bringing anything else into it.

Yeah, it was the images that caused the massive RAM usage. Each element will continuously take up RAM even in a background tab. As for the shame, I was just kidding. Because you OBVIOUSLY had a hundred image count plus porn thread up, you naughty cretin!

Ah, sorry. Wasn't aware if it was tabboo to mention it or something. It would primarily be the preloading, correct? Before this extension had image preloading, stuff loaded normally, now in huge threads like that it gets very sluggish.

I have a weird problem with these forums. Certain threads will just kill a tab. I'll open them, they load, and I can't do anything. No scrolling, mouse icon doesn't change when hovering over a link, nothing. The page locks up completely. However, I can close the tab normally and Chrome continues on it's merry way. This happens extremely infrequently, and the only two threads that come to mind it happens is the Lulzsec thread in GBS from today and one page of the STALKER Call of Pripyat thread in Gaming. I tried them in IE, they work fine. Go to Chrome and disable SALR and Fancier SA Forums, they still lock up.

Also, quoting people and previewing posts really screws up urls (the link itself disappears leaving just [url][/url] in its place, and maybe bbcode (I don't post much so I honestly don't remember on that one).

Is anyone else having weird flash performance? It freezes for a second, and stutters any other tab with flash when I am loading something. Related, because I don't know if it uses flash or not, the Falout 3 Nexus (http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/) was loading astoundingly slow and hanging for me today.

How do I stop the Chrome omnibar putting the instant search suggestions inline with the address bar?

For example, I might just want to search "planetside 2" but it will put "planetside 2 patch notes" in the address which means pressing enter searches for the wrong frigging thing.

I've unticked:

Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar
Enable Instant for faster searching (omnibox input may be logged)

but it still happens!!

Have you searched for that thing before? Chrome remembers searches and will autofill them in if you type something similar, which is extremely annoying.

Does anyone know if Google will ever fix the quadraphonic audio bug? Chrome doesn't play audio unless it is set to stereo.

Disregard this, I can just set it to 5.1, unselect the subwoofer, and everything works.

Why does Chrome use so much memory? Right now with 4 tabs open (Facebook and 3 forums), I'm at 600MB. That seems a tad ridiculous.

I went from stable to dev, the button was on the far left of my bookmarks bar. I was using the beta... last week or the week before I think? And no button. How long was this in the beta?

Ok, how come I can't install the dev version on my computer? I uninstalled it to try and start it fresh, but even a fresh install says "Chrome is already updated" despite being uninstalled. I just went ahead and installed the beta version. Also after installing my extensions were back again :confused:

Related, why is my iOS Chrome displaying the wrong computer name? I changed my computer name (on Windows 8), and even after reinstalling both desktop and iOS Chrome it wants to call the desktop one the old name. Syncs just fine, just under the wrong name.

I'm having some weird problems with Chrome lately. Was on the dev build, stuff like my Gmail Checker and Adblock couldn't show context menus (only had a white box), but that went away in an update. Now, when I have two windows open, performance is horrible and choppy. Also, Youtube feels choppy and has tearing issues. Downloading a video and playing it in MPC is fine, but on the site performance is awful. Downgrading to beta Chrome didn't help either.

Edit: Huh, disabling hardware acceleration made everything better. Even the browser itself feels snappier. :confuoot:

I just ran into a weird font issue. They just look... strange, I can't put my finger on it. Its really evident on the SA forums list, the underlines seem to far up. Anyone have this issue? It feels like the default font changed or something.

At least in the dev channel, DirectWrite is now enabled by default in Windows. You may have to dig into chrome://flags to disable it, and there's no guarantee you'll still be able to in the future.

Your screenshot's in .jpg format (PNG would have been better) so I can't tell what the default LCD text antialiasing setting is (grayscale or subpixel). Same caveats as DirectWrite.

Yep, I'm on dev channel. Disabling DirectWrite fixed it, thanks.

My Chrome won't update on Win 8.1, I get this error "Update failed (error: 7)An error occurred while checking for updates: Google Chrome cannot be updated due to inconsistent Google Update Group Policy settings. Use the Group Policy Editor to set the update policy override for the Google Chrome Binaries application and try again; see http://goo.gl/uJ9gV for details". This happened before and reinstalling Chrome got me to the latest version, but refused to update beyond that.

Edit: Quick registry fix worked. Huh.

On my laptop running windows 10, Chrome has Windows 10 style minimize/close buttons. On my desktop, also running 10, is has the old style what do I enable to switch to the 10 style?

Edit: Nevermind, clicking restore default theme fixed that. I thought I was running the default theme :confused:

Yeah I've preemptively installed Firefox and got all my bookmarks and extensions copied over in the event I need to dump Chrome. I'm firmly in the Google ecosystem with my Pixel, Nest, and Homes so I'd prefer to stay on Chrome but adblocking > uniformity
