I thought I was nuts the first few times but it kept happening. I have gmail, voice and reader pinned and when there is something new in that window some white clouds roll over the tab from right to left until I click on the tab.
Anyone else seeing this or is tequila for lunch a really bad idea?
GRAY is GAY. Star should be on the Left. Ctrl+B = Bookmarks Bar
you make me SAD.
these features should NOT make it into Beta/Stable.
Why GRAY?? is there a reason? did anyone ask for it? -No!
Did anyone complain about the star being on Left? why putting it inside the Address bar that already has some icons ??
Some people own Laptops and Net-books and lack viewing area so it's intuitive, handy, easy and very fast to click Ctrl+b to hide then show B.Bar with 1 hand, why changing it ??
you are being stupid, focus on what's important and bring the life back with the blue bar, Bring back the shiny days of Star on Left, and make our day easier and faster with Ctrl+b.
This is a dev version with weekly releases. The Dev tree becomes 6.0 after 5.0 is essentially done and the new 6.0 features then begin to show up and be tested. People keep forgetting that we're pretty nearly running real time for feature additions. They don't add a bunch of features and sit on it as they're doing that for a big "all new features" dev release.
The 6.0 is indicative of what's about to be added in upcoming weeks. Do notice that the 5.0 new features had pretty much tapered off weeks ago.
Renderer processes on Mac now chew up enormous amounts of CPU (2-10% CPU each) doing heavens knows what even when Chrome is not the active app, effectively causing my fan to run continuously at full speed and stealing CPU from the apps I am using in the foreground. This is unacceptable.
Chrome processes should be nearly idle except for scheduled timer interrupts when their respective windows are not receiving UI events.
@8Ball, Rest assured that these changes are for good reasons. I wont make presumptions as to what they are, but I personally love the gray color and star reposition.
As for ctrl+B, I miss this too but my understanding is that it was conflicting with web apps that require this shortcuts to match user expectations (used for bold font in doc apps etc).
Because this is the start of the Milestone 6 release.
"Hey seriously what makes this 6.x? Because it won't prepend scheme on copying an incomplete hostname?"
If you haven't noticed, Chrome 6 isn't done yet. It will be in months ahead. Then we'll talk about what warranted the version bump. Like we can do now in hindsight with Chrome 5.
You guys seriously don't understand the Chrome release cycle. Come on!
For some reason, Chrome has never supported logging out of the php-based free hosting software cPanel. Its control panel and webmail alike, logging out shows only the page "you've logged out" but does not really log out. Entering the webmail address again takes the user directly to the webmail service without requiring re-login. This is not the case with any other browser I've tried, so I'm thinking it has something to do with memory and/or parameter handling in Chrome.
I don't even notice that Chrome became version 6, that's cool, but I would like to know what's the big change, or the feature that make this new version.
I guess is for a WebKit version change, but I don't know exactly.
"Star should be on the Left." - please, how I put bookmark star back on left position next to the refresh button? is it possible? drag function isnt working too... Thank you very much :)
Google can you please add more options to the Options dialog?
Stuff like JavaScript specifics enable/disable, more privacy options (don't collect history), master password, etc.
All you did on this 6.0 version were a couple of useless changes for users :/
You have like 100 engineers on Chrome.. it doesn't make sense to not implement the above mentioned features.. only if you really don't want users to have control over the browser!
the annoying behavior described in http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=40794 is still here... Please star the bug to increase its popularity so it will be fixed soon, it's a real pain in the A when typing texts in forms (Gmail, comments, etc...)
@Brad If you want major version numbers with major changes, that's what the Stable channel is for and you are welcome to use it if it bugs you that much. With the Dev channel we see more of the development process, including that some devd will choose to change the major version number when they start development of that version rather than at the end. This is similar to a very early alpha of 6 so 6 makes a sensible choice. At the same time one could argue that it's not finalized so it should be 5. It boils down to personal preference really.
No major changes in 6, totally annoying? There are my suggestion; 1. Print Preview 2. Good Downloader, speed does not good on my ISP 3. Update to latest Webkit 4. Change colour back to blue, grey sucks 5. Please add two shortcuts: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?fid=4acf87eba4c9bf960004820f35a91812&hl=en 6. Try to fix more bugs not releasing new version so rapidly.
You guys are complaining about the first release of a new revision. If you really care so much about trying every new feature first or whatever, download the trunk builds.
I would love to see an option to have the downloadbar close automaticly after downloading/
Gray is just GAY, what happened to all the sky blue days? Even though we can change the color with themes, why make it dull/gay on first site to new users?
One other thing I would REALLY REALLY Love to see in the Auto-fill settings is the ability to add a password (for credit cards, also when filling in credit infos, and all settings) in order to prevent unauthorized changes. Why didn't google even think of this just like they did for other browsers (through their toolbar)?
Please have these small but mighty issues fixed before the next release.
While your groundbreaking "grey is just gay" statement is quite profound and EXTREMELY helpful, have you actually contributed to the chromium project by reporting and starring issues that you dont agree with and would like to see fixed in the manner that you agreed to when you checked the "i agree" box when downloading the dev version of chrome. I hate to break it to you, requesting fixes in the comments section OF A BLOG POST, is not how you contribute to the project. Put some weight behind your "demands" and contribute in the way laid out for this project, and i promise you'll see better results.
Forget the people who ask for this or that to change color, to be moved back to the left etc. PRIORITIES, people!
Speedtest.net and Setar.aw, like Intel.com is not recognizing the built-in Flash plug-in. Extremely annoying, guys! Please let the webmasters know what they can do to help remedy this situation. Thanks.
You should put a bin is closed tabs as Opera, would be helpful because it is too tedious having to open a new tab to access one that was closed (Sorry for my English, I'm using the Google translator)
ok, I really don't understand what is your problem guys. If you don't like gray, there are A LOT of themes, you can choose from, gray suiting better the windows 7 theme actually, blue was too win xp. The star icon on the right is actually a good thing for me, all the clutter, all the icons are in one place - on the right, not all over the browser. just an opinion.
@Влад: The string "Unpin tab" is not used in Chrome 5. When tab is being pinned, a checkmark will be displayed next to menu item. So there's no translation available now. That item will be translated 3 months later (for Chrome 6 stable).
5.0.396.0 dev had been released from 396 branch, which already includes some changes for Chrome 6. 375 branch (currently on Beta channel) will become Chrome 5 Stable shortly.
You failed to implement all of my prior suggestions, yet you boldly went ahead and increased the version number! Compare that to all the changes that happened going from IE1 to IE2! Don't you know that you didn't implement all of my prior suggestions? The reason you don't offer a simple option to select which side I prefer my bookmarks icon on is because you hate all of your users. I feel I have the right to complain about this because it's not like I'm getting Chrome for free, so spiff it up or I'm asking for my money back. IE doesn't come out with a new release every week, so that means they got it all correct in their first try! Plus, my ISP slowed down thanks to Chrome. My toast was burnt too, and from now on I'm keeping a close eye on you.
Seriously, keep up the good work and feel free to have the version number be whatever the hell you want it to be. If anyone complains, tell them to go ahead and make their own browser and they can number it any way they please...
it is understandable that you would switch versions on the start of a dev cycle.
a better question is then, what is new in v5 over 4? Since the switch to v6 means that v5 is finalized and will have no new features. So what is the grand total of improvements from the current v4 stable to the latest v5 beta that justify a version bump instead of putting all current v5 features as v4.2 or even 4.5 and then putting all the features planned for v6 in v5.
just to clarify, I know what the actual list of new features are. they are listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_chrome#Release_history
I was asking rhetorically.
That being said, its not that bad. Version bumping is hardly a capital crime. It seems a bit silly, but chrome is the best browser out there and it has a very rapid development rate. So I can't complain.
is anyone else having a problem with the scrollbar? sometimes even if i just hover over it the bar starts going crazy and will go up and down basically with its own mind..
@Justin, @REO got the same scroll bar wild behaviour as you describe, it sometimes sticks to the mouse cursor and the only way to unstick it is to click on the scroll bar arrow.. Is there a report for this bug?
I'm trying to fix the issues I'm having with the new UI (check my rant earlier):
to get rid or the GAY GRAY I found a simple blue theme similar to default: https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/theme_topography.html
and to add a bookmark use Ctrl+d, I still prefer the Star on Left because websites are written from Left to Right and I have my cursor on the Left side most of the time. anyway..
I still need the Ctrl+b for B.bar, there is no workaround.
@8ball, do you expect anybody to take you seriously by complaining that "GRAY IS GAY"?
If you have a usability comment, such as the Ctrl+B complaint, that's one thing. But bitching about "gay" colors? Shove it, and stop being inflammatory.
This comment belongs on a previous entry, but oh well. I just want to say please allow the user the option for which side of the omnibox they want the bookmark button. Personally, I HATE having it on the right, far away from the other two buttons I use frequently (reload and home).
It's really bad at high resolutions, though the whole high-res wide screen issue and how all browsers seem to ignore it, giving us this huge amount of wasted space for the address(omni) box, is a whole other can of worms.
Otherwise, I continue to love Chrome for its simplicity and speed. Just REALLY want to have that bookmark button location reverted. :p
Why does the download manager create an additional temporary file in %WinRoot%/Temp along with the proper file at the destination while downloading? (I'm worried, cause my Win-drive is short on free space)
All the download links for Linux Dev releases are 404. http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=unstable_i386_deb http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=unstable_amd64_deb http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=unstable_i386_rpm http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=unstable_amd64_dev
6.0.401.1 dev on Snow Leopard. - opening the bookmark manager, eat CPU and crash the browser! - a lot of pages becomes unresponsive, already crashed pages too (mainly google's pages!!!)
Excellent version: The star is fine on the right. The important functionality (far superior to the star-functionality) is to drag the URL with the mouse into its (sub)-folder of the bookmarks bar and that functionality is implemented at least for the Windows version. For Mac an issue is filed by the Chromium team to add it in the correct manner.
This version works very well. The only caveat I spotted is that when a bookmark is filed by using the star or by dragging that the title of the URL is no longer displayed in the menu of the (sub)-folder of the bookmarks bar. I hope there is an issue associated with this, otherwise I will request it.
Excellent work: Chrome/Chromium team. It is very pleasant and fast to work with Chrome and the extensions make it truly even more unique.
@Peter It is probably the website you visited that stops the title from displaying. In my case, no matter how I do the bookmarking, the title of the webpage is always the default name displayed.
BTW, thanks for the info on the drag bookmarking method, never knew that existed.
One new but minor thing I would love to see is the ability to edit (delete, rename, move, reorder by title) an infinite number of bookmarks in the bookmarks menus, without the menu automatically closing. This was experienced in firfox 3.6.3 ;)
Hi, I have also problem with downloading linux version. All linux dev links (both rpm and deb) on http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel ends with "Not Found" error. When downloading using windows link, beta channel instead of development is downloaded :-(
Yes, I confirm: the problem of the title of the URL not displaying, has disappeared. It is solved. I do not know why, as the version is the same, but it does not matter. Solved is solved.
No issues anymore for me on the Windows-platform. (I am mainly a Mac-user).
I've gone back to 5.0.375.3 (the last version I kept) because this new version doesn't behave properly with Flash based live chat, eg., ChatBlazer 7. Any URLs pasted into chat cannot be opened, but are fine in 5.0.375.3 (I've also removed the standard Flash from Vista).
I'm also noticing that any open tab is suddenly eating up between 2-5% of CPU. Having 10-15 tabs open, as I usually do, chews up about 50% of CPU, regardless of what's on the page. That's new in this release.
and when GIFs play, it always seems at a slower framerate than what they should be displaying at. On opera, though the .GIF only plays after the entire file has loaded, the FILE plays smoothly. GIF's on chrome/chromium always seem slower eventhough the file starts displaying immediately

Why 6.0?
Java on Chrome for Mac would make it feature complete (for me). =)
Seems a lot faster? Any reason? True or just me?
Thanks for fixing Reddit replies.
I thought I was nuts the first few times but it kept happening. I have gmail, voice and reader pinned and when there is something new in that window some white clouds roll over the tab from right to left until I click on the tab.
Anyone else seeing this or is tequila for lunch a really bad idea?
Hey seriously what makes this 6.x? Because it won't prepend scheme on copying an incomplete hostname?
Or is it like just the time to bump the major version number?

Brian: I've seen it too. Any more changes?
Can't update SxS installation yet.
Respose for appid="{4EA16AC7-FD5A-47C3-875B-DBF4A2008C20}" is 5.0.396.0 now.
New pinned tab animation when the site is updated is very cool!.. Thanks to the team...
What happened with Bookmark manager?
@8Ball, Rest assured that these changes are for good reasons. I wont make presumptions as to what they are, but I personally love the gray color and star reposition.

Are we gonna be able to install google toolbar on chrome any time soon?
Honestly this is the only reason preventing me from using chrome!!!

how is there still no print preview?
For those who asked about the version, dev releases are now at version 6 because Chrome 5 beta has been released.
No major show-stoppers in Version 6.
the annoying behavior described in
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=40794 is still here... Please star the bug to increase its popularity so it will be fixed soon, it's a real pain in the A when typing texts in forms (Gmail, comments, etc...)
Several releases now and the sync bug still has not been fixed. very disappointing.
Were this version for Linux? Check it.
I can't get package for linux
"Not Found
The requested URL /linux/direct/google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb was not found on this server."
Why is it version 6.0? Seriously Google you only change major version numbers with serious changes...these are minor.
Can pop ups please go back to opening in a new tab?
@Per Bylund: Memory? Parameters? What do those have anything to do with it? Sounds like some sort of cookie handling bug to me.
@Brad If you want major version numbers with major changes, that's what the Stable channel is for and you are welcome to use it if it bugs you that much.

閒來無聊逛逛blog~~跟您打聲招呼~~
Bring back star to the left
Bring back blue theme
bring back ctrl+b = bookmarks
Seriously, nobody complained about them. Nobody asked them to be moved/removed. It was fine until dev 5 build 395.
Please bring this back!
No major changes in 6, totally annoying? There are my suggestion;
1. Print Preview
2. Good Downloader, speed does not good on my ISP
3. Update to latest Webkit
4. Change colour back to blue, grey sucks
5. Please add two shortcuts:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?fid=4acf87eba4c9bf960004820f35a91812&hl=en

*facepalm*
Feature request: prevent retarded people from using the Dev version and then complaining. ... OK, just kidding, but ... jeeze, lighten up people.
And to the development team, thank you. This browser rocks.
@Ahmad
About Webkit and V8, in version 6.0.401.1 (Official Build 47018) dev, they have updated the Webkit from 533.8 to 533.9 and V8 from 2.2.7 to 2.2.9.
Actually, the lastest Webkit is 534.0 in Chromium 6.0.406.0 (47366), but almost every day is updated with each new build of Chromium...
You guys are complaining about the first release of a new revision. If you really care so much about trying every new feature first or whatever, download the trunk builds.
I would love to see an option to have the downloadbar close automaticly after downloading/
Gray is just GAY, what happened to all the sky blue days? Even though we can change the color with themes, why make it dull/gay on first site to new users?

Why didn't google even think of this just like they did for other browsers (through their toolbar)?
Please have these small but mighty issues fixed before the next release.
Forgot to mention this, could you also add the following shortcut to each and every bookmark folder's context menu
"Sort by Name"
This is a simple yet very useful (experienced in firefox) shortcut, it can save up to 15 seconds or more (depending on how many folders one has)
Please add an option to show the following download bar link in the context menu of downloads
"Remove Download"
and an otion to automatically close the download bar as soon as downloads complete
@mrelectrifyer

I must say this is a fairly stable release. I have not encountered any terrible bugs :)
Good, good....

Change. Flash is so laggy on Dev and Beta. But fine on Stable and Chromium
6.0.401.1 dev. Your Name is CRASH, CRASH and CRASH. Type anything in Omnibar and enter leads to immediate crash. So Annoying.
Please move the bookmark star back to the left.
Forget the people who ask for this or that to change color, to be moved back to the left etc. PRIORITIES, people!

ok, I really don't understand what is your problem guys. If you don't like gray, there are A LOT of themes, you can choose from, gray suiting better the windows 7 theme actually, blue was too win xp. The star icon on the right is actually a good thing for me, all the clutter, all the icons are in one place - on the right, not all over the browser. just an opinion.
So when can I download version for Linux?
The RU-ru locale string still says "Unpin tab"(pure English)...
@Влад:
The string "Unpin tab" is not used in Chrome 5.
When tab is being pinned, a checkmark will be displayed next to menu item.
So there's no translation available now.
That item will be translated 3 months later (for Chrome 6 stable).
@nhnl: Uhm, so why it's the same problem in my Linux Chrome (!)5(!).0.396.0?
5.0.396.0 dev had been released from 396 branch,
which already includes some changes for Chrome 6.
375 branch (currently on Beta channel) will become
Chrome 5 Stable shortly.

I actually like the star being on the right. I found myself accidently pressing the one on the left dozens of times.
The only thing I want them to fix is the damn dictionary, it sucks.

@Vonster ROFL man, when i read that at first I thought "God, what's wrong with this guy?!" .. lol'd hard at the last part
is anyone else having a problem with the scrollbar? sometimes even if i just hover over it the bar starts going crazy and will go up and down basically with its own mind..
@Justin,
I have noticed that as well with the sporadic action of the scroll bar.
Glad to see that others are encountering this as well - so it will eventually be addressed in a future update.
@Justin, @REO
got the same scroll bar wild behaviour as you describe, it sometimes sticks to the mouse cursor and the only way to unstick it is to click on the scroll bar arrow..
Is there a report for this bug?
hi there,
I'm trying to fix the issues I'm having with the new UI (check my rant earlier):
to get rid or the GAY GRAY I found a simple blue theme similar to default: https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/theme_topography.html
and to add a bookmark use Ctrl+d, I still prefer the Star on Left because websites are written from Left to Right and I have my cursor on the Left side most of the time. anyway..
I still need the Ctrl+b for B.bar, there is no workaround.

Even on Linux Software Repositories,
only 32-bit versions are availabe. What's happend?
6.0.401.1 dev on Snow Leopard.
- opening the bookmark manager, eat CPU and crash the browser!
- a lot of pages becomes unresponsive, already crashed pages too (mainly google's pages!!!)
No go on the dev release for deb (404). Anyone know what the problem is?
speeds are slower then 5.0 please fix it so it is faster
Excellent version: The star is fine on the right. The important functionality (far superior to the star-functionality) is to drag the URL with the mouse into its (sub)-folder of the bookmarks bar and that functionality is implemented at least for the Windows version. For Mac an issue is filed by the Chromium team to add it in the correct manner.
This version works very well. The only caveat I spotted is that when a bookmark is filed by using the star or by dragging that the title of the URL is no longer displayed in the menu of the (sub)-folder of the bookmarks bar.
I hope there is an issue associated with this, otherwise I will request it.
Excellent work: Chrome/Chromium team.
It is very pleasant and fast to work with Chrome
and the extensions make it truly even more unique.
max_dev, on Windows same problem.
Thanks for the updates.Always find your posts very helpful.Will try it out in Windows.

It is probably the website you visited that stops the title from displaying.
In my case, no matter how I do the bookmarking, the title of the webpage is always the default name displayed.
BTW, thanks for the info on the drag bookmarking method, never knew that existed.
One new but minor thing I would love to see is the ability to edit (delete, rename, move, reorder by title) an infinite number of bookmarks in the bookmarks menus, without the menu automatically closing. This was experienced in firfox 3.6.3 ;)
Hi,
I have also problem with downloading linux version. All linux dev links (both rpm and deb) on http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel ends with "Not Found" error. When downloading using windows link, beta channel instead of development is downloaded :-(
@MRElectrifyer
Yes, I confirm: the problem of the title of the URL not displaying, has disappeared. It is solved. I do not know why, as the version is the same, but it does not matter. Solved is solved.
No issues anymore for me on the Windows-platform. (I am mainly a Mac-user).
Love the aero transparent tabs !!
Please fix the pdf bug on Mac version. its annoying for not displaying pdf files in the browser...
I've gone back to 5.0.375.3 (the last version I kept) because this new version doesn't behave properly with Flash based live chat, eg., ChatBlazer 7. Any URLs pasted into chat cannot be opened, but are fine in 5.0.375.3 (I've also removed the standard Flash from Vista).
I'm also noticing that any open tab is suddenly eating up between 2-5% of CPU. Having 10-15 tabs open, as I usually do, chews up about 50% of CPU, regardless of what's on the page. That's new in this release.
Heads up Google... above commenter QWP looks like a spam bot.

All GIFs only play once.
and when GIFs play, it always seems at a slower framerate than what they should be displaying at. On opera, though the .GIF only plays after the entire file has loaded, the FILE plays smoothly. GIF's on chrome/chromium always seem slower eventhough the file starts displaying immediately
When will we get the following:
1. GMail Offline for Google Chrome Mac
2. Google Calendar Offline for Google Chrome Mac
3. Google Account Support (Bookmark Sync) for Google Apps for my Domain Logins?
These are the kind of changes which make things much more usable on a day-to-day basis.

If only every person in the world would follow all the rules that you gave... I think that everyone should come and visit your website
