    I have re-downloaded and reinstalled and it no longer crashes after I click in the url bar.

    May have just been a bad install.

    Not quite a crash, but when I’m on Facebook I can’t click through on ‘add comment’ links or the ‘go online’ or ‘go offline’ links on Facebook chat. Does anyone know what’s up?

    Michael,

    I tried this again today and you are absolutely right. It is no longer crashing Chrome. Hmm… I am not sure I like software being update without me knowing about it or approving it….
