dosxuk   10 #14 Posted February 8, 2014 Well, honestly... I'm not experiencing any of the issues you are with Chrome.... i'm using Version "32.0.1700.107 m"  and I haven't noticed any of the issues you mentioned!!  I'm experiencing all these issues on three separate machines, two of which are completely clean installs from about 3 weeks ago, the other reinstalled over a year ago. The only thing these machines have in common is the Chrome version.  The UI issues have even attracted press coverage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ghozer   112 #16 Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) I'm experiencing all these issues on three separate machines, two of which are completely clean installs from about 3 weeks ago, the other reinstalled over a year ago. The only thing these machines have in common is the Chrome version. The UI issues have even attracted press coverage.  Odd, have 3 fresh machines (1 Windows 7, 2 Windows and a Freshly Installed Laptop (Windows 7) all running Chrome, with none of the issues you are mentioning...  The machines are varying from a slow Core 2 Duo (1.8Ghz) to an i7  Very odd!!  * EDIT * I just read the link you posted, and it talks about the scroll bars, yes, mine are the same, without the arrows each end, but to be honest I never even noticed the change, as I usually use my mouse's scroll wheel, the cursors on the keyboard, or just click/drag the scroll bar to where I want....  Not seen any other "issues" though - I believe the scroll bars are just a design thing, and tbh, they are less obtrusive than other browsers and scroll bars, which honestly, I prefer...

woolyhead   15 #19 Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) The "Big one in the middle" isn't a search box, that's the web address, and that will often hang and not let you do anything until the page it's trying to load has loaded.. This is AFTER browser plugins and tool bars...  so if you have plugins and tool bars, it'll load them, then the home page (first page)  The small box at the top right, is the actual REAL search box, and the one you should be using..  Open the browser, and press ESCAPE on your keyboard a few times, and wait a minute...  then type about:blank in the big address box at the top and it should just give you a white page...  Set this as your homepage, close the browser (all windows) and re-open it, tell me if it's quicker, or works... (it will load to the blank page, but you should be able to type in a website address quickly)  Let me know, then we'll know if it's the website (your home page) or the browser (plugins, addons etc) Thanks for that. I'll try it and let you know soon  ---------- Post added 08-02-2014 at 18:58 ----------  IE? I have never said it was 'uncool' Apologies. It was CPC464 said that.

I see. Thanks very much. I feel stupid sometimes.  ---------- Post added 08-02-2014 at 19:23 ----------  Run AdwCleaner - http://general-changelog-team.fr/fr/downloads/finish/20-outils-de-xplode/2-adwcleaner  I've done that. It deleted quite a lot of folders. I hope they were only adware. Now I have Google search where I didn't before. Adware Cleaner must have slipped it in. Anyway, thanks for the information. Google is a lot faster then Windows browser so now I use that. But it's strange how it got to be where I was expecting Windows. I didn't exactly ask for it but suddenly it was there. Ah well. The world is full of mysteries. Edited February 14, 2014 by woolyhead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
