Great news: Password sync!!
Not compatible with Nexus 7? Why?
Why does the new version required an extra permission which gain access to camera?
No Nexus 7 support? Any reason?
Why is the scrolling not smooth in this version?
Why is my Nexys 7 noi longer supported?
Tab UI performance is messed up again like it was initially in the 25 beta. Also can't get it on nexus 7. Great to see text rendering improvements but a shame its still too large l. Please see my bug report https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=174959
Typical Google with your beta mentality. You locked out your Nexus 7 users. Good job! Don't you pay someone to check for bugs?
Scrolling is really bad in this release. I mean scrolling has always been bad on Chrome, even on the desktop, but this time it's really bad. Just flicking the page up a little doesn't move the page much.
When I search and hit the wrench›search tools›time function it doesn't respond at all, not even highlights. Any others experience this? Solution?
I mean scrolling has always been bad on Chrome, Pete even on the desktop, but this time it's really bad.
Its a beta you idiots. Of course its going to have bugs. Scrolling, Nexus 7, new camera permissions, and other things are expected. It would be bizarre if there weren't issues. That's why they have a beta channel. It's for catching those bugs before they get to the main channel. Report the bugs you find through the proper channels not here on a blog post.
Password sync at the cost of no nexus 7. Why do you tease me so...
When is WebRTC for Android ?
I really hope no Google employees read these comments. After the effort these guys put in, it would be very depressing reading.
Scrolling was always been laggy, but situation is even worse with latest beta...
I hope Google will drop works on new features and will concentrate all force specifically on optimizations - lags, hangs etc...
Oh, I doubt Google employees are as thin-skinned as some Google's fans, Mike from Devon.
There's a reason why this blog accepts comments.
Oh Nexus 7 support how I miss thee....
