updates Meet the browser: Chrome Next

Nope. Known issue on multiple systems here and I'm not the only one. =\

Is now listed as blocking the 64bit launch, yay for you! :)

[Boo Berry]

Excellent, hopefully they fix that soon so I can finally use x64 Chromium. :D

[Boo Berry]

Odd, it looks like my Chrome Canary install went back to the 32-bit executable. Did it for everyone else?

[LittleNeutrino Veteran]

nice to see they are finally making an x64 client :D i wonder how long it will take to get to the Dev builds rather than the Chromium builds.

Yeah, guess it had some problems. Hoping it will be back soon

[Boo Berry]

That's okay and I await its return but in the meantime I can run 64-bit Chromium alongside the 32-bit Chromium. :D

Some other changes happened over time but forget to mention:

 

Following one has been rephrased to mention more coverage

Good website containing all Chromium related info: http://chromium.woolyss.com/

And there's a fix for the cutoff on 64-bit Chromium, excellent. The only issue I have with 64-bit Chromium builds now is the constant Flash crashes. Does anyone know if there's a 64-bit Pepper Flash plugin (dll file + manifest) available for download yet? I was thinking 64-bit Canary would have one but since they pulled the 64-bit builds, I can't find it yet. =\

Today's canary is 64bit again

[Boo Berry]

w00t, grabbing the new Canary 64-bit now. Hopefully there's a 64-bit Pepper Flash binary bundled with it I can grab.

 

EDIT: Excellent, got Pepper Flash working in 64-bit Chromium without Flash crashes now (disabled NPAPI Flash). :D

[.stan]

Aww well, today's is already 32bit again, the good old back and forth :)

some strange issues

Omnibox changes hidden under chrome://flags detailed in another thread: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1211571-burying-the-url/

~snipped~

 

Another user case is this mozilla slider on this page: http://adhesivesquares.com/one-page/

 

It could be because of layout squashing or impl-side painting.

I've noticed for the last few days that the custom order of extension icons next to the address bar doesn't always remember correctly, depending on the extensions used. I use the following three extensions;

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ejbmfhgfpejndimejlfghaddkphononj

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hfpnjihjndnmfcbclplooodjmhcdncan

 

No matter how I try to arrange them, when I close the browser the order changes/resets on next start. Will have to search the issues list when I get the time.

Order doesn't change for me, just starts as if I had them all hidden and have to drag the omnibox over to show them, not deal breaker considering it's the Dev version

Same here...

Does anyone else have a problem with recent beta (35) update on Windows? After restarting, my settings were erased and Chrome started crashing every 10-30 minutes :/

No issues here.

[Boo Berry]

In the newly released stable (35) build, you can now enable DirectWrite in the experimental flags for smooth looking fonts. <3

Complete DirectWrite support might ship with M37 or 38, the guys are still hard at work on it.

Yeah I've been holding off using it for now since its still got a few sizable issues, mainly monospace fonts are rendered poorly (bug 356823), and it doesn't handle font weights correctly for some fonts (such as segoe ui), waiting patiently for improvements :) chrome's font rendering has been a pet peeve of mine for a while now (along with lack of smooth scrolling).
