This is my first time ever, commenting on Google Chrome releases. I just wanted to say "Thank You" Google Chrome Team for making the Chrome interface bigger on High-DPI screens. It looks great now, I hope you guys don't change it. There is only one problem: The "Dialog Box" in Google Chrome (e.g. For Username or Password) is a little bit blurry, beside that, everything else looks outstanding.
Thanks a lot and I greatly appriciate your effort guys.
Unfortunately there is the scaling error again on high DPI. Everything looks too big, I have to start Chrome in compatiblity mode with DPI scaling off in order to get a normal interface... NOT GOOD.
I do not have the above problems with the bookmark bar. However, I do hope Google will fix the scaling problem in an update. In the mean time, besides using the compatability mode (mentioned earlier), you can change the windows register:
Please put back the "Simplify Page" option in Google Chrome/Chromium. No current extension hasn't exactly the functions of the "Simplify Page" option. What is so hard to put you, Google developers, the option back? You too arbitrary and foolishly decisions in recent years.
I don't want to use extensions for the following reasons: 1. viruses; 2. the duration of the limited life of any non-Google extensions from Web Store; 3. extensions are not always updated according to the version of Google Chrome and they become incompatible with it.
I used the "Simplify Page" option for two clear reasons: - remove banner adverts from save PDF/print; - many site has programming language HTML / CSS / etc. old who can’t save as a PDF file or can’t print (blank page appears in PDF or to print) if it was not turned on "Simplify Page" option.
Please to bring the "Simplify Page" option back in Google Chrome/Chromium.
Having a problem since upgrading to this version. Several websites (soundcloud, join.me, etc.) are showing SSL certificate errors that cannot be bypassed. NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKED This did not occur 15 minutes ago prior to upgrading Chrome.
I can navigate to websites like youtube.com and most other sites by entering the address. However google.com gives an error (ERR_QUIC_PROTOCOL_ERROR) as if the address is incorrect, therefore I cannot perform any google searches by going directly to google or by entering a search in the address bar. I tried logging out of my account and reinstalling chrome (therefore it is definitely not an extension problem since none are enabled and there is also no browsing history) but the issue persists.
This release seems to break if you have Software Restriction Policies in place in Windows. I've had to rollback and prevent automatic updates as this version of Chrome will not launch. The policies have not changed at all between upgrades so something in this version has introduced an incompatibility.
Hello, motherfucking Google! I would like to thank degenerate Google Chrome developers for making interface FUCKING huge. Thank you very fucking much. Fucking fix it NOW!
This update has completely jumbled Facebook for me. Youtube, Gmail, e-mail, Soundcloud, HBO, and seemingly everything else all works fine, but Facebook is way fucked. Everything appears out of place, text shows up as links, the formatting is consistently off, icons are shifted to the side, and the page has been made three times as wide with none of this "great" new scaling. The last thing makes me think this is a problem with the already useless new scaling B*llshit, but I'm not that into computers.
We utilize software restriction policies in our domain, and with these in place we cannot start version 54 of chrome. Also present on beta channel (version 55).
Big screw up with the DPI again. UI is huge, and webpage is displayed way to big. Google tells me im not the only one. Please revert back with the dpi settings.
The chrome PDF viewer plugin is not working for me. I had to get an extension off of the web store. Is anyone else able to use the chrome PDF viewer plugin?
I am also having issues with Launching this new version of Chrome with Software Restriction enabled. I have been able to determine that has something to do with the enforcement of certificate rules. If you turn off certificate rule enforcement on the policy then Chrome will launch.
However, this is not a good solution since we use certificate rules to whitelist other applications. While I can disable certificate enforcement to allow Chrome to work, it will prevent several other programs to be blocked by Software Restriction.
Also experiencing an issue with Quic Protocol. The update is trickling down to our 5,000 desktops and we are receiving lots of complaints of being unable to access Google.com, Drive, Youtube, etc. Basically any website that is being operated by Google. Other websites such as CNN.com and MSN.com, as well as internal websites, work perfectly fine. Google websites also work as expected in other browsers, such as IE and Firefox.
Disabling Quic Protocol from chrome://flags solves the issue, but I don't want to do that on 5,000 machines. Anyone have any help? I'm hoping the Chrome team will just need to resolve this on their end. Unfortunately, we have 10,000 Chromebooks as well that will receive the new version 54 and I'm hoping that doesn't break them.
My god, I updated my browser thinking it might fix the problem I'm having using Chrome with Play Music. Instead everything is giant now! The address bar, the tabs, and the webpages. I went from using zoom at 110% to moving backwards to 89-90% depending on the webpage. There's no reason for it to be this big!
I‘m getting "Adobe Flash Player is out of date" error on 54.0.2840.59. OS: Ubuntu 14.04 Chrome: Version 54.0.2840.59 (64-bit) Seems I can't upload a sreenshot, So here is the "chrome://plugins/" content for Flash Player: [pre] Adobe Flash Player - Version: 23.0.0.185 Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0 Name: Shockwave Flash Description: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0 Version: 23.0.0.185 Location: internal-not-yet-present Type: PPAPI (out-of-process) Disable MIME types: MIME type Description File extensions application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash .swf application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player .spl [/pre]
If your chrome has just made everything larger with todays update, here is your solution to get it back to normal. Right click on your chrome icon, then click on properties, click in the "target" box, go to the end of that field which should end with " put a space after that then paste the following after that space
While I don't find the increased size of elements in this update to be as overt and productivity reducing as past instances of inflation, I still find my typical split screen setup to be overly crowded, where I have to resize website UI elements/panels a good deal more than I did before updating.
One other change has reversed the fix of a problem that had intermittently annoyed me for years. I have most of the bookmarks in the Chrome bookmarks bar arranged in folders. This works really well for me, however, when I click to open a folder after the most recent update, I cannot close it by clicking on it a second time. The folder can be closed by pressing ESC, but in most situations, this is not as efficient as clicking on the open folder's icon to close it. If the 'second click to close' behavior could be reinstated, that would be great.
Facebook videos and Vimeo videos don't seem to play properly anymore since the update. They start then stop and buffer for ages before starting and stopping all the way to the end.
Also experiencing the unable to launch issue on a domain with SRP in place. Chrome.exe will appear in task manager, but no window launches. Nothing in logs, but uninstalling and putting in an earlier version restores functionality.
In my office we also have a problem with running new version of Chrome on Win7. The problem is characterized by running two processes named chrome.exe and no application showing up. We do not have any SRP policies set and nothing I've tried helped. My colleague pointed out that when he was setting up the new PC he was able to run the Chrome v54 normally but after he updated the OS Chrome started to have the same issues like written above - maybe that tip will help someone find the solution.
+1 on the SRP Issue and disabling certificate resolution as a fix. Even after that, though, users can't use any sites that require flash. The plugin fails on download. Are other folks having the same issue?
I am running into the flash plugin issue also. Using Chrome Enterprise some users even though they are on the proper version of Chrome their flash is showing x.x.x.166 instead of x.x.x.185 and getting the "click to run once". Anyone else getting this?
Whoever decided it was a good idea to remove the bits which made the docked Google Hangouts chat windows possible, is a fucking idiot. Now I am forced to run a portable version of Chrome 53 JUST FOR HANGOUTS!
Just updated to v54 Chrome. Please, oh please correct the huge (Yuge!) size of your new Chrome. I feel like I'm in kindergarten. Look! See Jack. See Jack run. Run, Jack, run!
I've tried every correction I have found on the internet to no avail. I'm running Windows 10 64. The prior version was sleek and beautiful. What happened? Thank you.
Hi @侯志伟 , you can manually update flash as Google said: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/6213033?hl=en . Well, in case that the "chrome://components" update doesn't work(which is my situation), here is how I solve the flash issue: 1. Download PPAPI Flash plugin at https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, for me(Ubuntu 14.04 x64), it's `flash_player_ppapi_linux.x86_64.tar.gz`. 2. Extract the archive, copy `libpepflashplayer.so` and `manifest.json` to `~/.config/google-chrome/PepperFlash/[flash_version_number]`, where [flash_version_number] is 23.0.0.185 now. 3. Add chrome flags to specify flash plugin. My "Exec" line in "google-chrome.desktop" file is as following: `Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --incognito --ppapi-flash-path=/home/kangod/.config/google-chrome/PepperFlash/23.0.0.185/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=23.0.0.185` 4. Start chrome then flash works well.

Great job, you broke the UI with this DPI scaling garbage. Luckily someone posted the fix in a previous comment, by adding launch options (--high-dpi-support=1 --force-device-scale-factor=1) because for some reason your stupid browser totally ignored 'disable DPI scaling' in the application properties.
This release breaks all extension menus on my setup, presumably due to some display scaling changes. I've had issues with chrome since the material-icons ux update.
From 53.x to this release however, when using a retina display monitor (primary laptop monitor, win 10, 125% scaling), and 2 external 100% scaling monitors (chrome is open on the externals), all the extension menus get out of sync the progressively further your mouse hovers down them.
IE, Lastpass, ublock, etc - anything with a menu thats on my toolbar at the top, if I click to open the extension menu, then move my mouse down the list of options, you can see the highlighted option get progressively further and further from where the mouse cursor is, such that there is about 150px difference between mouse location and highlighted option near the bottom of these menus.
This is not an extension bug as it is reproducible on various extension menus. Furthermore, dragging the chrome window back to my retina monitor with 125% scaling, the mouse is back in sync with the menu.
I'm looking for a way to undo this update or a workaround for this issue as the browser is entirely unusable right now. I tried the dpi scaling options on the shortcut as well as compatibility mode but neither made a difference
Some years ago i switched from Firefox to Chrome because of this DPI shit. No Chrome does the same...Please at least make it possible to switch off that shit!

Not good. Interface, fonts,....got bigger :/

在高分屏下，把Windows的显示自定义绽放级别调高（如125%），这个最新版本的Chrome界面显示变大，难看极了。即使把chrome.exe的文件属性中的兼容性设置为“高DPI设置时禁用显示绽放，也没有用。
Can not move bookmarks in bookmarks bar
I do not have the above problems with the bookmark bar.
However, I do hope Google will fix the scaling problem in an update.
In the mean time, besides using the compatability mode (mentioned earlier), you can change the windows register:
HKCR\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command\(default)="C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --force-device-scale-factor=1 "%1"
For Google developers.
Please put back the "Simplify Page" option in Google Chrome/Chromium. No current extension hasn't exactly the functions of the "Simplify Page" option.
What is so hard to put you, Google developers, the option back?
You too arbitrary and foolishly decisions in recent years.
I don't want to use extensions for the following reasons:
1. viruses;
2. the duration of the limited life of any non-Google extensions from Web Store;
3. extensions are not always updated according to the version of Google Chrome and they become incompatible with it.

- many site has programming language HTML / CSS / etc. old who can’t save as a PDF file or can’t print (blank page appears in PDF or to print) if it was not turned on "Simplify Page" option.
Please to bring the "Simplify Page" option back in Google Chrome/Chromium.
Thank you for understanding.
Actually DPI is fixed now. Pages are scaled the same as Edge browser from MS with no blurr. Been waiting for this forever.
Having a problem since upgrading to this version. Several websites (soundcloud, join.me, etc.) are showing SSL certificate errors that cannot be bypassed. NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKED This did not occur 15 minutes ago prior to upgrading Chrome.
I agree with Jim^ SSL Errors are not for everyone running MacOS Sierra and Chrome 54 for HTTPS only sites.
www.hpb.com shows "Your connection not private" error.
Confirmed it did not happen on Version 53 but when about 15 people in our Dev Department upgraded, we then saw the issue.
THIS IS VERY BAD!
we are seeing issues where user cant launch chrome. the process is running but the browser doesn't open since upgrading.
We had to go and disable the QUIC protocol to make this version work with secure sites. This needs to be triaged ASAP. Making a bug report as well.
I can confirm Jim's issue here as well. SoundCloud in particular is what tipped me off.
I can navigate to websites like youtube.com and most other sites by entering the address. However google.com gives an error (ERR_QUIC_PROTOCOL_ERROR) as if the address is incorrect, therefore I cannot perform any google searches by going directly to google or by entering a search in the address bar. I tried logging out of my account and reinstalling chrome (therefore it is definitely not an extension problem since none are enabled and there is also no browsing history) but the issue persists.
It looks like this is the cause for some of the SSL issues mentioned here: https://twitter.com/globalsign/status/786617201788723200?lang=en

Was the touch screen issue fixed ?
I had an issue with touch screen scrolling.
Looks like it works now (tested on https://inbox.google.com).
Was the touch screen scrolling issue fixed ?
I did not see any comets about that.
I tested with inbox.google.com and it seems ok now.
The problem was that instead of scrolling the text selection action was used.
Thank you upfront!
just received the latest update on Chrome (54.0.2840.59 m)
and I can't go to any of Google site.
I get an error with ERR_QUIC_PROTOCOL_ERROR.
@Jae Chung I get this error too. To work around it you need to set "Experimental QUIC protocol" to "Disabled" in chrome://flags.
Just updated to v54 Chrome. Please, oh please correct the huge (Yuge!) size of your new Chrome. I feel like I'm in kindergarten. Look! See Jack. See Jack run. Run, Jack, run!
