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

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

I ran it for more than a year without problems.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

There is a good browser out there called Brave. It was created by the guy that was fired from FireFox for his traditional marriage views (I think. Feel free to cross check this.)

Chrome is an abusive memory hog.

I am running Chrome right now. It works great, much better than Firefox, and it doesn’t have the memory leaks.

But I am on Ubuntu 16.04, maybe that’s the secret.

Chrome is slow as hell. Moved to Firefox and it was better. Then moved to Opera and it was even better.

Dump Chrome. It’s slow and it spies on you.

Chrome is a nice browser if you have enough RAM. Chrome guzzles memory!

However, memory consumption in the latest version (55) is said to have improved considerably (by ~30%).

This is really odd. It’s happening to me, also. I thought it was just my own problem.

Try Opera. It works great here, but I should add that I am using an older version, just because I like the way it works and its speed. This version is 12.16 and it has been the default for over several years since it has worked so well. There are newer versions out there and I have tried them but this one has been so reliable that I always drifted back to it.

YMMV.
