CHROME CRASHES ALL THE TIME

I've been fighting Chrome for four days and I'm done with it.

I operate W7 and I like it.

I've had trouble free Chrome for a couple of years, but it has frozen and crashed way too many times in the last four days.

Need Freeper input

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I have avoided Chrome just because of the ways it continues to try to force itself on me.

[MtnClimber]

It has done it to me too, starting two days ago.

[wrench]

I ran it for more than a year without problems.

Starting a month or so ago, frequent to constant crashes. I uninstalled it.

[knarf]

I should have added ... what browser are you Freepers using ?

[Cicero]

Me, too. I don’t have any trouble with internet explorer, and I hate the way you have to closely examine the updates for many programs so they won’t install chrome on you. Last time that happened, it was a hell of a job to get rid of it.

[SkyDancer]

My bro ripped Chrome off my PC and it runs faster. And anything Google too.

[knarf]

What are you using ?

[fulltlt]

Chrome on my fire tablet runs fine. Your first problem is windoze.

Opera....and it has a Chrome engine

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.99 Safari/537.36 OPR/41.0.2353.69

Try this version of Chrome.
You might like it better. I do.

WIN10/Edge

The Chrome invasion attempts happen at work with WIN7 Enterprise.

If you're having problems with Chrome try Firefox or Edge.

As a web designer, I have despised IE for going on twenty years but Edge is a fine browser.

[rdl6989]

I use Safari on my Mac, along with Firefox for Mac. On my Windows10 machine I use Firefox. I don’t like Chrome because I think it is a way for Google to get even more information about me.

Try Brave, probably the most politically incorrect browser. (works good on my maching, better than Edge)

I use Chrome on my MacBook Pro. It hasn't crashed, but there are times that web pages will not open fully. When I click on a link, I'll get a new window that has the menu bar at the top, but that's it. The rest remains a blank page. I then have to close Chrome and reopen it when that happens. It happened earlier today with a thread on FR I was trying to open.

I was using Firefox, but was having problems with it. I hadn't had any problems using it until I updated it to whatever version number it was before they issued 50.0. I tried resetting it without success, wrote Firefox's support department, and sent crash reports, but never got a reply. When they issued Version 50.0, I installed it, but continued having the same problem with it, so I don't use it anymore. The only browser I can use consistently without any problems is Safari.

I was having problems with Chrome, I have some extensions and blockers installed and I was having trouble viewing some videos on news sites. I tried messing around trying to work around the mess I made, and decided that another browser would work when Chrome didn’t.

I did something silly and tried Opera. It was just a lark but I like it and now I use both.

[Organic Panic]

Probably due to all the new crapware, scripts, autoplay, etc. on the websites you frequent. I use Mozilla with all the blockers. I don’t mind ads. But my goodness. Go to Hotair or another one of my favorites and 3 or 4 autoplay videos start along with 5 or 10 scripts. Terrible.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I operate W7 and I like it.

Well there's your problem right there. Quit being a hermit and get with the times. Windows 10 doesn't bite.
