Have always had trouble with the Extensions, I cannot even get them to show up anymore when I download them. Before I could download them but they would be gone the next time I opened Chrome, must be missing something here? In Firefox adding extensions works smoothly with no trouble ever. Have thrown away Chrome and reinstalled, still the same trouble no extensions showing.

So, Chrome 20 broke a bunch of stuff. Speed dial got hosed. The Flash settings web page link was removed. What a nightmare this update was. And, as you can see below. I like Chrome. What a shame.

SL, IDK what went wrong. I resorted to re-downloading the 20 beta and got no relief so downloaded the stable build, which is what the beta was before. Still, everything got lost. I'll be O.K. but am not very happy.

Really, do "...several bug and stability fixes" really warrant a new version? Stupid Google. Unfortunately, they are the best browser around other than the rumors of Google collecting data...but then that's why Chromium and Iron came around.

May? And only at version 20? Google are turning into slackers.

Seriously though, can anyone list without having to search what changed from 14 to 15? Or what was in 19.6?

Puerile humor from the mountain kiddies and their love of numbers.

And after all this time, it's still a hog.

I'll come back in a months time, when it's a respectable version number, like 25.

Awesome browser. I love the feature set and functionality of Chrome. This new beta slightly refines the icons on the Windows version. I'm at work so I haven't upgraded to the Mac version yet but in Windows the icons have been slightly refined in version 20.

Good browser, but I prefer Safari.

Please remove Flash! HTML5 is the future!

Updating Flash was so bad for the longest time that it posed a serious security threat for Chrome's users. Google felt that they needed to take care of ensuring that their users use the latest Flash version at all times themselves. And the best way to accomplish this was to simply bundle Flash with Chrome and make it part of the regular updates. As much as the Apostles of Steve may believe Flash is dead, it's still very much alive (unfortunately) and still required for too many (non-mobile) sites. Chrome cannot market itself as the most secure browser when at the same time > 90% percent of users use a plug-in which can easily circumvent all of Chrome's security measures if it's not updated regularly and quickly. So you have two conflicting issues here: Taking a more strict stance on HTML5 or drastically improving the security of users. Google decided for the latter which is understandable.

Allegedly Flash 10.3 will finally have an auto-updater on OS X as well. If it actually works (not sure with Adobe's track record) and it gets sufficient distribution Google will hopefully drop Flash from Chrome in the future.

I disagree Erunno, bundling it is shoving it down peoples throat, they could take the approach apple did with safari and still ensure people have latest version, without making you actually install it. Safari 5.1.7+ disables flash if it isn't latest version, but it doesn't make you install it if you don't use it. That's the more appropriate method of doing it, vs bundling and then issuing app updates to update something you may or may not even use.

"they could take the approach apple did with safari and still ensure people have latest version, without making you actually install it"

What would be the point other than to inconvenience a vast majority of Chrome's users who actually use Flash? Most users lack the technical knowledge to even comprehend a) what Flash is and b) the security issues at hand. All they would see is that every few weeks the Internet stops to work as intended on Chrome and requires them to manually perform some arcane update procedures. Google is not in the business to wage war on Flash as Apple does for whatever reasons, but to build a browser your grandmother can use (hint: your grandmother most likely knows nothing of Flash).

How would the Windows, Linux and Android version sync with iCloud? I don't think that Apple supports this use case. Your best hope is that some of the recent rumors are true and that Google will release a stripped down version of Chrome for iOS.

In spite of what some of the trolls may say, this is a pretty damned good browser. Is it perfect? No. Is it light years ahead of Firefox? I'm afraid so.

@ Umaromc:

Sure, accelerated graphics, for one. On Snow Leopard, on Mozilla's own "Mozilla Hardware Acceleration Stress Test".

Chrome absolutely destroys Firefox.

Chrome blows past the capped 60 FPS, while FireFox flames out at a measly 20 FPS and that's twice as good as it was in version 11.

3X better frame rates in this streaming heavy world are indeed LIGHT YEARS.

I have a problem with some certificates
They stopped working some time ago and Im not sure if that was because of the new chrome or 10.7.4 update

"The server presented an invalid certificate.
You cannot proceed because the website operator has requested heightened security for this domain"

But is works fine in safari :/

Youtube is not working as normal, i just can hear what in the video but i cant see it ( i see my desktop instead in that box of the video)

Is that problem from me or issue from the browser?

Ok, does anyone with Lion, and the latest google chrome, get a sudden crash, when doing the following:

closing all open windows and tabs in chrome.

then choosing either new tab, or new window from the file menu.

Doing this for me on lion, causes chrome to beach ball and instantly crash.

I wish they'd figure out the rights they apply to the application. Firefox finally did. You have to delete Chrome from the Apps folder BEFORE trying to copy he new version.
