I just updated to Version 69.0.3497.81 and chrome is very slow to open and slow to load pages. I am using windows 10, and I tried Edge and it seems to be working normally.

The gap between bookmark bar icons become much wider now so less icons can be accommodated. Could you please reset to the compact design in the previous version? Thanks.

Congrats! Looking great and I'm a big Chrome fan.

One minor bug I've noticed is when developing with Visual Studio, when debugging and hitting a breakpoint, the new Chrome will go black for a few seconds then come back and do this cyclically while VS is 'paused' at a breakpoint. It looks like the monitor switches off completely but it's actually Chrome going completely black (page and tabs bar etc).

when I use Chrome with DevTools and examine elements, the browser turns completely black for 2 seconds. That happens again and again. No nice work anymore. :-(

@Rob K The official Chrome Release Calendar over at Chromium Developers says September 11 is the day for Chrome OS devices, including Chromebooks and Chromeboxes - and furthermore, Chrome OS in general is on a 1 week lag from desktop for channel promotion in general. Stay patient! (Fixed typo: Chromimum -> Chromium.)

On Linux the "Customize this Page" menu at bottom right of screen has no options, anybody else see this?

on win 7 the address bar is no more following the default system colors (that's an all-black background): I get now a dazzling white instead..

Anyone had issues with text rendering improperly? I get this on almost all sites that work OK with IE and Edge.Parts of letters are missing making it look like greek and impossible to read. All flags reverted to default.

There's an issue when you have multiple windows of chrome. The other window just don't work properly. The topbar is not respoding to clicks. Though the document window works properly.

very slow animations i.e: different events that are being listened then fired with a time lag. Slow even with one tab open. I am on macbook pro 2012 late

Back then, Firefox was imitating Chrome's look... and now it's the other way round... CHROME, STOP IT. As others said, bring the compact tabs back!

Found the solution myself, theme was set to GTK+ when I switched back to Classic the menu options appeared.

Chrome have very slow performance adter the new update (version69.0.3497.81). Lagging on you tube, much delay whenever click to open pages and new tabs! WTF????????? FIX IT PLEASE!

As of this update, enabling flash in site specific settings or for all sites is now not retained upon restarting Chrome. This means that my users now have to follow a process to enable flash every time they open Chrome at their workstations to use certain web portal services on behalf of our clients.

Walking my non-technical users through enabling flash several times a day is certainly more secure then retaining the predetermined flash settings and never having them touch that stuff at all. Thanks Google.

Sync is paused repeatedly in the browser after the update to this version. Tried disabling all extensions & even reinstalling chrome & disabling my antivirus but the problem persists.

Elias Wald said...

Hitesh, please see crbug.com/878776. It sounds like you may be having issues with your encryption keychain. Try restarting your computer (and then restarting Chrome again after restarting your computer).

John Price@, Please report a bug for Linux issue with "Customize this Page" menu under crbug.com and provide all details there. Thank you.

Jamie@, Please report a bug for Devtools issue you're facing under crbug.com and provide all details there. Thank you.

text is rendering incorrectly - you have to hover your mouse over the letter to make them appear properly or keep refreshing the page.

10:50 PM, September 06, 2018
miniwrld at work said...

@Wendy This issue has been known about for a while - at least since the Beta cycle. Detective work was in progress to find the change that introduced the rendering difference when I last checked - according to the development team the likely finger was pointed at a recent import of changes to the graphics rendering library Skia combined with a similar import for the font renderer HarfBuzz unfortunately containing clashing changes.

Developer tools has a bug and turn screen black when you insepect element when visual studio running a site in localhost.
No breakpoint pause is needed in VS to reproduce the bug.

This update is causing my computer to lag to an incredible degree whenever I open a new tab and even passively browsing is using up tremendous amounts of disk space.

I want to return to the previous Chrome. Someone can explain how I can do it?
Thank you

Chrome 69 is incredibly slow. It lags bad when scrolling. Twitter isn't even working, it's like trying to interact with a screenshot.

Janet Smith said...

I am also having problems with text in Chrome rendering incorrectly since the update. Reloading the page helps, but I should not have to do that!

I am really liking the latest update and the overall look of Chrome, it's fast and secure. Well done to all the developers and bug finders on this release.

It hangs on when trying to back up to a previous page and generally runs slower. Looks nice, but can't say I'm a fan

Ken said...

As Anonymous stated above, flash specific sites are NOT working properly. You can set the setting to "allow" for a specific site every day, but each time you close chrome, that setting vanishes. It's very annoying to have to allow it to run every time I check flash enabled sites. Please fix this.

WTF is wrong with version 69.0.3497.92? Is this the new old Mozilla Firefox? It looks awful!!!

12:30 PM, September 14, 2018
miniwrld at work said...

@Alexandru Mihai Let's be honest here. Google and Mozilla have taken to copying each other's user interface ideas, in the name of a browser that lets you do more and gets in your way less. Fortunately, both support themes so you can make it look the way YOU want it to - in Chrome's case, the themes section in the Chrome Web Store is the place to look.

1:17 PM, September 14, 2018
Giuseppe D'Ambrosio said...

@miniwrld, we can be honest, but it seems that Chrome themes can't change the address bar.. and anyway, I don't see no reason to not follow the default system colors, as it was on 68

James Hogan said...

You've really made a mess of the flash integration - I've had to switch to Edge as I don't even have an ADD button, and if the page doesn't ask to run flash and just says, "install or enable flash".....I can't.

DONKS.

9:34 AM, September 15, 2018
miniwrld at work said...

@Giuseppe Yeah, that is unfortunate, as it limits our choices for styling the browser. However, I suspect that it's a temporary technical limitation of the new engine powering the new design behind the scenes. I cannot confirm this without looking at the open issues, but past history suggests this isn't intentional.
