Anyone else recently updated Chrome and now having speed issues? Was not a speed demon before, but now just changing between already opened tabs takes 7 seconds... and everything loads slow.

And no its not my machine, iceweasel and Konqueror are still fine, even when this POS is running.. And chrome wasn't *this* bad before the update. Going to have to stop using it.

( Debian x64.. Chrome v 37.0.2062.94 )

I have just installed the latest Chrome and all is working well, pages loading very quickly.. I am however in Europe though.

I have a 180 x 18 speeds package.

Operator error.

I wish that was the case, then it would be fixable on my end.

Version 37.0.2062.103 m on Win7 Pro x64 on a Dell Vostro 131. Core i3 2310M, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD. No issues here beyond pre-existing hardware problems. Tab switching isn't instant, but it's in the ms range, not full seconds.

Only problem I had after upgrading Chrome was with extensions.

Check those to see if any are causing your problem.

First thing i did was disable all the plugins and extensions ( forgot to mention that )

Ill just have to be patient. I wont be the only person with this problem. Perhaps the next build....

( update was ok on my android devices, but of course that is a different code base due to the different architecture ... )

Chrome hasnt been cool for 57 years

Last Chrome update I did, it disabled most of my non-google-store extensions all on it's own.
bastages..

It's cool, just hiding in stainless steel now.

I'm rrunning Version 37.0.2062.103 m, and have constant speed issues. Not sure if it's a crappy laptop, or Chrome. Firefox was way worse, so I'm staying with Chrome.

The problem I have is with Adobe Shockwave crashing all the time. Supposedly an issue with it when using Chrome, but I have no idea what to do to fix it. Not sure it can be fixed.

The only thing Europe has gotten right.

Nurb all my machines are well. 30+ None on unix.

EDIT. Not accurate. None running a Linux variant. My unix based are Android.

must just be a problem with debian x64 version. Im running 32 bit ubuntu on multiple computers and have had no recent issues like the ones described here.

And its not just raw load speed ( those speed tests wouldn't be the same, once they are going they pump data ), just moving between tabs is painful now. EDIT: against my better judgement, i loaded a windows VM, and chrome inside it runs ok. so it must just be the build for Linux x64. grr oh well, ice-weasel it is for me until they fix it.

Working great on Windows 8.1 Professional 64b

However I'm having issues with a fresh Chrome install on Server 2012 R2 though. The tabs seem to freeze intermittently when switching between them and while viewing websites I cannot scroll without waiting for long pauses.. very odd.

I'm going to try the offline Chrome installer and see if that helps.

I have this same issue.

Better description than i gave, but that's about the same thing i am getting.

Going to dig out my macbook here this afternoon and try it there too.

I tried Chrome briefly on my computer (Linux Lite 2.0). I couldn't stand it. I thought it was slow and unreliable. It took me all of a couple hours to get back to Firefox.

I miss Opera.

Well an update came out tonight.. its marginally better. Still too slow tho

The delay is caused by the government add-ins...

Most likely i'm going to reload to 32 bit this weekend... going to be a real pain however. Figure 32 bit is better supported, even tho its 2014.

Netscape Navigator. lolol

No, i dont miss that.

went back to a 32 bit OS, it worked for about 10 minutes then locked solid. Freezes on restart every time. sooooo f-it. Went to chromium, which is an 'official' port and it works. ( sort of forgot that was out there.. )

need to try that on the 64 bit OS too..

I downloaded the Dutch version of Chrome and all is well on my Windows 2012 Server now. If I return to U.S. English download, I again have the freezing issues.. very weird.

I guess the freeing on start for the new install was actually that it was downloading stuff from Google, but it of course doesn't tell you this, nor should it freeze while doing so...


Still too slow..

Why do you miss it? It is still available. I am using it right now.

I dumped Firefox for Chrome just recently. Firefox has become a slug. Freezing and spontaneously shutting down. Been running Chrome for the last couple of weeks, it's much faster and more stable than Firefox has been recently.
