I imagine anyone using the dev build of a browser would have more than one browser installed, right? )

At least with any of the dev browsers an update will fix the problem usually within a day or two. And disabling hardware acceleration for a browser is not something I want to do, that’s just incentive for me to use a different browser. I’m not going to use a browser without at least uBO working. With Chrome Dev I’ve seldom bothered using command line switches to disable extensions or hardware acceleration. From what I’ve seen, on my hardware, disabling the GPU seems to me to be a more common solution than disabling extensions.Įven though the performance is generally very good I can’t imagine using Chrome Dev or even Chromium that is always being updated to the latest version as my ‘primary’ browser. This year, graphics related flags like zero copy rasterizer and out of process rasterization have been recurring problems for me on Win7 using a Nvidia graphics card.

Fact is my experience with Chrome Dev is that it very often has bugs and those bugs can often be attributed to a flag being enabled, but then that same flag in Chrome Stable will be working just fine.

Chrome Dev is a different story, the last time it was crashing at startup was just this summer. I’ve never had a problem with Chrome Stable crashing when started.

Google chrome extensions keep crashing
