Ok I had enough of Google Chrome. It has some annoying glitches for quite a while and I don't think is it because of my computer. I love this browser but it's stupid error makes me angry. When I want to visit sites like Youtube and blogger the Browser loads the page ,shows it for a second and then...BLANK.
It's annoying like hell because I have to reload the page and freeze it,
Do you have the same error?
Did you get rid of it?
What do you recommend?
Should I change it for another browser?
Which one do you recommend?
Feel free to comment on the topic however you might like...
Thank you

Chrome is cool and its simple. So far I've never had any problems with it. I never really encountered any of the problems you've encountered. The only thing I hate so much about it is it asks me over and over again if I want to translate a page from japanese to english when I already check the option "always".
Hmm... I guess your copy has a bug or something. Try Mozilla, it's a good choice as well.

As I posted the both browsers Chrome as well Firefox have this bug or there's something wrong with my computer. It happens especially when visiting blogger. After that it seems like it affects YouTube too... It's pretty frustrating because I spent a lot of time doing things like : uninstalling ,reinstalling,updating...and etc...
Not my best surfing day...
Oh and I have the translate thing too...

I haven't experienced that error. Maybe you can take a screenshot and paste it here so we can check. But for now I recommend you use firefox. In my opinion it is the best browser today. And I'm quite sure you will have no problem browsing using firefox.

How I replied to Charles I get this thing both on Chrome and Firefox. I updated Firefox, emptied the history on all browsers, reinstalled Firefox, checked my updated anti-virus. On chrome the page loads , stay for a second and goes all blank. [Only the content of the website is affected ,the button and name bars the exit buttons all that remain.] on Firefox it looks like it loads still blank for over 30 minutes. This problem happens when visiting Blogger almost every time and sometimes YouTube.
If you get any ideas..please reply 'em..

yes it has glitches. that is why i have topped using it. i fird used it cause i have read that it consumes less RAM but i don't like it. there are features that i only see in FF so i stopped using it. and of course it has glitches which made me switched back to firefox. and now i am back to firefox and sometimes i use opera too.

I am using Firefox for a long time at home and the IE in my office. So I have the opportunity to test both the browsers very well. FF is the best browser as par my experience. I rarely view youtube videos at home in FF, so I am not sure about any glitches there. IE is also good but sometimes it freezes in Youtube and it hangs a lot of times at Vimeo.com. You should definitely try Opera if it suits well but I would like to give best overall rating to FireFox.

It used to be the better option for MF but now it seems to be having trouble. We should be thankful that users have options to use other browsers. When things like that happen, go back to Firefox and when MF also goes crazy, then go to GC. It's a free world.

I've had no problem with Chrome for the past few months. Instead it's my Firefox that has errors. Images take a long time to display. I've tried to check for solutions on the net several times but to no avail. I've had enough with it.

I've never had a problem with Chrome. It's actually the best browser I've ever used. I've had Firefox, Internet explorer, Netscape. I've had quite a few and none of them work as well as this one does.

I think you have a problem with your operating system. And if you are sue about the OS then please re-install Chrome. I am giving this opinion out of my own experience. I have faced about same same problem in couple of days, I had suggestion from the help center to re-install it and the problem solved. I take this opportunity to inform you that I am using three browser at a time, Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer 8. Firefox will give you same problem. It wil disturb you more than Chrome. I sometimes use Opera. It is good. But I prefer the three as mentioned above.
