I am not sure whether many others have this problem. My google chrome is getting crashed quite often. say four or five times in one hour. I am feeling so dejected I deleted chrome browser completely. what is the experience of other mylottians? Are you experiencing this in Chennai/India/other countries? I am tempted to think that this is due to some problem in my laptop--like getting heated up or so. but laptop is not getting heated. Am I right in deleting Chrome? In fact I am so much used to chrome I do nto know how I will get used to other browser.

It happened to my computer several times - not often though. It will usually happened when I opened too many tabs and/or opened too many flash-based contents. Chrome takes lots of memory. So if our computer has lack of memory and less computing powers, it's advised to not open more than 10 tabs. It's also possible that you have some corrupted plugins on Chrome. Try to isolate the issue by removing or disabling some of the plugins 1 by 1 and observe. Usually the flash plugin is the culprit.

Well.. It's okay if you prefer to use Firefox rather than face all the troubles above.. Firefox is also one of the best browser. If there's no problem with Firefox, then go with it

I have never had a problem with Chrome. It may be in your computer. Hope you don't have a virus. I would scan for viruses if you have an anti-virus. If not maybe you should take it to a computer person or a repair person and ask them to take a look at it. It might be wise to use another browser if you have this problem a lot.

I was also facing problems with my chrome browser few days back. I was not able to open the websites, the load bar used to roll and roll but nothing happened. It was very annoying, always i had to restart the browser to run it again. Then i updated chrome to version 26. Now that problem is resolved with new update. This might be the case with you as well, i would recommend you to install the new version of chrome, that might solve your problem.

Professor bhaiya: Nice to see your response. I am in Chennai. I keep myself busy with facebook, blog, a few classes now and then. I am happy to note that your chrome browser is working well. In fact I had problem with IE also occasionally and that is why I thought it fit to go to firefox. touchwood for the last over two hours no problems. I wish it continues so. I also tested www.speedtest.in and it gives good numbers. this is considerably higher than chrome readings. good day.

If other browsers like firefox , ie also crash in your computer, then i say your unit have the problem. You must let technicians have a look at that. Otherwise, mozilla firefox is a good browser. It's better than ie.
