problem with Chrome

JamboDP

anybody else having a problem with chrome today, it has locked up 3 times so far today and the only way to clear it was to restart my laptop, totally crap when doing advents.

They have released a new version today, one of the survey sites I use sent this out, don't know if the update is causing any "locking up" issues.

Google Chrome’s newest version, Chrome 55, is set to launch on December 6, and means one major change for members like you.

To ensure your experience is not affected by Chrome 55’s new Flash Player settings, you’ll need to take one important step.

When entering some surveys using the new version of the browser for the first time, you may receive a prompt about the use of Flash Player on the site.

In order to enjoy a truly interactive experience, first select “Click to Enable Adobe Flash Player” and then choose “Allow” when the Run Flash pop-up window appears.

Thank you, it has just locked up again.

Mine locked up this morning - just once when I had opened up about 20 mag dailies!

After the 4th restart found that chrome was in the middle of the update and is now complete and seems to be ok


thanks for the info mjm

No update for me today that I know of but mine has been freezing for the last few weeks just for a min or less then carries on but it's a right royal pain!

I clicked on the three dots in the top right hand corner then clicked on 'About' and it said 'Chrome is updating'. It has now finished and shows 'Version 55.0.2883.75 m' Chrome is up to date. So I assume it has updated for me and hopefully will be ok from now on.

I wonder if anyone knows if or how you can install the update yourself, eg from the Chrome website? Hopefully someone will be able to advise you

I was thinking along those lines too if it's not happened in the next couple of days I will have a google & see if i can do it manually
