Chrome for Mac: more usable than ever.

It is actually less usable than it was two weeks ago. Sometime last week (or the week before that) flash was enabled by default in chrome for mac though the flash support was highly unstable. I don't mind flash being unusable but since the plugin support is so premature it often crashes or starts utilizing 100% cpu

Does it play nicely with clicktoflash?

"Chrome for the Mac, or Chromium as its officially known" I thought Chromium was the unstable constantly evolving version, while Chrome was packaged up nicely and given to the end user?

Also, no 1Password support yet, however, once it gets that, I'm switching.

apologies, didn't explain myself clearly - corrected.

There is also a dev-channel. Your installation is on the edge and with automatic updates so you don't have to manually check for nightly builds.

yeah, nearly fried my apple laptop, watching cnn video - i noticed: 95 degrees celsius

Why the hell would somebody vote me down for an observation maybe saving other people from possibly several thousand dollars damage to their computing equipment???

Alright, I'm calling this out: I want to know the reason for the down-vote. STEP UP!

If it's some technical reason that I've ignored, good for you. If it's passive aggressive behavior then not so good.

Chill out, they're just comments. It's not high score.

These comments added nothing of value to the discussion. Asking why people voted a certain way is foolish at the very least because those whose voting so vexed you will have already moved on. The very people you demand answers from did not even hear the question. Everyone else is just annoyed.

The truth is that voting never makes much sense. In aggregate, people vote based on agreement or disagreement whether they "should" or not, and complaining about it is not going to change that. A post with a score of 50 could represent an intriguing and nuanced exploration of a topic just as easily as it could represent a strongly-worded yet vapid and utterly one-sided opinion. All that voting really tells you is that at least 49 people found it something about it emotionally moving enough to click a button before closing the tab.

I do re-check threads I've commented/ voted on. I assume others do as well and want to be held accountable: this is HN! I have no interest in spending time on here if this turns out to be another noisy channel.

I assumed some Google fan-boys voted me down initially, which angered me, nearly frying my development machine on a flash video (Chrome beta runs at 100% CPU with certain plugins).

Does it have Adblock and Greasemonkey? If it does, I'll switch right on over to it. Until then, I'll just wish it luck.

Loving Chrome, and anxiously awaiting for when I can boot it.
