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

  4. 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?

  7. They are pushing updates to us without us knowing, so these bugs are fixed.

  8. 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….
