Google Chrome Nightlies

[tsupersonic]

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list

Look at the top of the issues list dude, TONS of people have this problem, not just me or just do a quick google search. Mostly happens to people with synaptics touchpads regardless of driver version. I tried getting the latest generic one from synaptics but that didn't work and I already have the latest gateway one.

Hmm didn't know that, I too have a synaptic touchpad, but I don't have the official synaptic software installed, where you can control additional things.

So, testing build 1754, and it feels about the same as the one I installed on release day. About the same speed.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the process per tab?

Nothing in the change log, how odd :s

[Crazysah]

Has anybody tried them out? Is there like an official build every day like Firefox has?

I installed a nightly, but it removed all settings and bookmarks. Why does it do this, and is there any way to stop it from doing that?

[Denis W. Veteran]

Whatever's building the mini installer is probably not working at the moment. 1778's mini installer is holding a build somewhere in the 1740-1750 range.

The user folder is now Local Settings\Application Data\Chromium\User Data (or AppData\Local\Chromium\User Data). Move over your User Data folder from Google\Chrome\.

I dont see any reason to not liking it.

new build :)

[ViperAFK]

damn there's been like 4 builds just today.

[tom01]

Atleast you don't have to install them :p I'm not installing it till they remove that awfull updater.

It doesn't remove your settings and bookmarks, the Chromium and the Chrome just use different profile folders.

What's so "awful" about an updater?

But anyways, Chromium builds do not have, and do not use, an updater.

Oh, and Google did mean it when they said the updater would delete itself when all Google software is gone. The updater in Local Settings\Application Data\Google is gone.

edit: in these recent builds, the source code viewer is broken.

[splicer707]

I like these nightly builds. :geek: Thanks

[wellofsouls]

The latest nightly seems quite a bit faster in Sunspider :cool:

Somehow Chrome's result URL is broken, so results are here:

I really dont care about % thing. i dont give a F with these % stuff nothing big different to me anyway

What's so "awful" about an updater?

What other browser do you know that uses a process at boot to update? No need at all.

[ViperAFK]

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of the updater process running all the time. And when I uninstalled chrome on my laptop the updater was NOT removed and was still starting at boot even though it was unchecked in msconfig, I had to remove it and it's registry entries manually.

Yeah, on my Vista desktop it wouldn't remove properly. The updater also pegged itself to 75% doing... something. (This is on a quad core system BTW.) On my XP laptop, it removed itself. :huh:

[Denis W. Veteran]

The tabs painted themselves too far to the right. Oops.

Another oddity: the file opener box is Vista styled, but the download box is the 2000/XP style.

[wellofsouls]

wow that works great. now I guess we need some tests on the different process models :)

[Crazysah]

How do I delete the nightly build guys?
