Google Chrome, Anyone Else Having Problems? - Blu-ray Forum

OrlandoEastwood · 01-23-2010, 09:50 AM

I downloaded this a few weeks back. Nothing but a hassle. My IE is outdated and I am not a big fan of IE and I don't have Firefox on my laptop since I got back from the factory since it died. I decided to check out Google Chrome, this thing SUCKS!!!! DNS problems out the a** whereas my outdated IE works almost perfectly fine.

Tried it for about a week a while back but didn't like it, wen't back to IE 8 which is working just fine

I tried it for a little while on my Mac. I didn't have any real problems with it, but I wasn't overly impressed by it either. I went back to Safari.

I tried it for a few days awhile back...I kept having sign in problems on this site so I just gave up on it and went back to Firefox.

The login issues were site-side.

been using the beta version of chrome for months now, faster than firefox, no need to restart for extensions. not sure what there isn't to like

DC_Street · 01-23-2010, 02:24 PM

I'm been using Chrome as my primary browser since it was released, the only issue I've had was with my MSDN page with Microsoft (it only works with internet explorer) but other than that it rocks!

The same with me as well.

Hammie · 01-23-2010, 03:07 PM

I've been using it since early days of release and have have zero problems with it. I'm on a 32-bit Vista Dell laptop.

Intamin · 01-23-2010, 03:27 PM

I've been using it since release without any issues. I switched from firefox.

JimSD · 01-23-2010, 04:35 PM

I've been using Chrome since it was released. I too switched from Firefox. I'm not sure why DNS issues would have anything to do with the browser.

Same. Used Firefox for several years, but it was giving me problems on Windows 7. Switched to Chrome and have been happy with it ever since

BStecke · 01-23-2010, 05:52 PM

The only problem I've had with it (Mac version) is that, when I go into preferences and clear the browser data, the browser freezes and needs to be restarted. Other than that, I love it and have been using it since the day it was released.

Foghorn Leghorn · 01-23-2010, 08:05 PM

Slightly off topic.........But I see a advert in a national newspaper today (The Sun - UK) and it had a full page spread on Google Chrome, not seen that before.
Have been tempted to try Google but....

Firefox for me.

ManUtd · 01-23-2010, 08:19 PM

I changed from Firefox to Chrome and have no issues in both Vista and XP.

oposky2006 · 01-25-2010, 05:21 AM

i only use IE, it works fine for me, i dont like chrome or firefox

Clark Kent · 01-25-2010, 05:26 AM

Everyone should try Opera, a browser that has had many of its features ripped off by competitors.

silversnake · 01-26-2010, 05:34 PM

So I have been loving Chrome but lately I've been having a problem with it. When I put my computer to sleep, when I wake it up, sometimes the videos do not play correct in the browser.

Basically, the video is playing, but in slow motion and no sound is coming out. Any ideas?

OrlandoEastwood · 02-27-2010, 11:11 PM

All right, I had to switch over to IE again. For some reason, Chrome keeps locking my system up. It's happened several times over the past couple of weeks. Is anyone else having this problem too?
