[Beta Channel] Google Chrome 7.0.xxx.xx (for Linux, Mac OS X, Windows)


Recommended Posts

My chrome just updated itself. Is it just me or does it really seem superfast? Something like 60x i think that was going around about a month ago?

Nah it's not just you. I hit restart once it had installed the update and it was at my homepage in a flash.

No isn't working fine. Hardware configuration and the size of your browser window plays a huge part ;)

Fullscreen window, exact same score... and its a MASSIVE difference from those scores. Those show clearly hardware accel isnt working right on your specific hardware or something.

Good call mate, trawled through my settings and corrected them...

Not working for me either.

Might be NVIDIA users need newer drivers. I'm currently on 260 beta drivers and have no hardware acceleration in Chrome.

Are you launching Chrome with "--enable-gpu-plugin --enable-gpu-rendering --enable-accelerated-2d-canvas --enable-video-layering --enable-webgl --enable-fastback" ?

*webgl should be automatic but it probably doesn't hurt to force it on anyway.

You probably didn't add the flags (like me!)

Add these flags to Chrome...

--enable-accelerated-compositing --enable-gpu-plugin --enable-gpu-rendering --enable-accelerated-2d-canvas --enable-video-layering --enable-webgl --enable-fastback

I have an Nvidia card as well and it worked for me. Just make sure you have the flags posted above in your shortcut.

Ok my Chrome (dev) is actually very strange. All the stuff that used to work on the IE test drive no longer work property. The Psychedelic Browsing used to work perfectly, but now it stays a blank page. When I try to refresh, the page crashes. The Video Kaleidoscope test runs (as in it shows the FPS tab), but the rest of the page stays black. The HTML5 Youtube videos used to work, but now they play only the sound and some don't run at all.

Yes, I do have all the flags turned on.

I got the latest driver for my Radeon 3650 HD card, but nothing's changed.

Anyone else have the same problem?

Disable outdated plug-ins Automatically disables plug-ins with known security vulnerabilities and offers update links for them.Enable

Could be that your previous update got a bit messed up, I'd save all your bookmarks etc and then reinstall Chrome.

Hope that helps..

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
