[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?

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..

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
