(This will be updated as more common problems are identified)

Flash is being slow (or not working at all)!
Try downloading and reinstalling flash on your computer (make sure ALL browsers are closed). (link)
This doesn't work for all reported flash issues. If you still have problems, or if flash gives you an error on reinstall, try uninstalling flash and reinstalling. Also try rebooting after or in between those steps.

Chrome won't start / Chrome won't view pages / Chrome won't install!

Chrome is using most or all of my CPU!

  • Open your Chrome task manager to try to see which component of Chrome is causing the problem. If it is a plugin (like flash), try reinstalling the plugin.
  • Take a look at this thread - it has some tweaks that might help
  • Kill chrome using the Windows task manager - occasionally it WILL lock up to the extent that you can't even open the Chrome task manager to do more troubleshooting. This is a part of beta, try to put up with it (or at least figure out what you are doing when it happens).

I use a proxy to connect to the Internet - how do I set that up with Chrome?
I don't have personal experience with this one, so anyone who has a definitive answer, please let me know. The advice I've seen thus far is to edit your system proxy settings. It seems likely that Chrome would use any defaults set on the system. If this doesn't work, another person suggested importing settings from IE (assuming you have IE working with your proxy).

I use X,Y, and Z plugins and A,B, and C extensions for Operafox Safplorer. Can I use them in Chrome?
Sadly, unless you're talking about Flash and Adobe Acrobat Reader, you're probably out of luck for now. I have trouble believing that a project like this won't soon incorporate features supporting extensions and everything else you'd expect from a browser of the future.

HELP! FACEBOOK IS BROKEN!
Google did say that any sites requiring a login could potentially be buggy, as their bots can't exhaustively test sites requiring authentication. Give it some time.

Chrome won't import my Firefox 3 bookmarks!
This issue is still somewhat of a mystery, but we know that it works for some people and not for others. The current correlations we're considering is that it may not work if Firefox is not installed in the default location, and it may be more likely to work if you have Firefox open while installing Chrome. These are still quite speculative, but I'll try to do some experementation tonight to see if I can get anywhere. The full thread for this issue is here.

A page with Java content isn't working for me
Try downloading and installing the latest JRE.

My touchpad/trackpad scrolling doesn't work (or is unusably fast)
You can try changing your settings in the mouse control panel (specifically in the section added by your drivers), but this seems to be of limited use, and will possibly cause scrolling to be useless everywhere else in the system even if you get it working in Chrome. We're probably going to have to wait for Google to come up with a solution to this. [This problem has been reported for some Dell, HP and Toshiba laptops, and likely affects others as well.]

All YouTube videos give the error: “We're sorry, this video is no longer avaible!”.
Fix if using Kaspersky (avoiding disabling web protection) :
 - In the “web anti-virus” tab under “protection” main page, click “configure”, then “customize”
 - Replace the “buffering scan” traffic scan method with the “streaming scan” method, by checking the appropriate box, then OK.
 - Close chrome if open, then retry reading a youtube video with chrome.

IF THE SOLUTION TO YOUR QUESTION ISN'T HERE, TRY SEARCHING GOOGLE CHROME HELP

If anyone has any other common or solved problems to post here, please just let me know! I'll gladly update this so that fewer questions are repeated, and less of our time is wasted.

So bascially Chrome is stil unfinished buggy little useless internet browser. Why should I use it if half of the thing don't work? Seriously, Firefox does all that and it doesn't collect your private search habbits like Chrome. Why should I use Google's browser at all?

If you hate it so much than why are you on this forum? If it has some negative features than it has positive one's TOO.

Yup, google presently has launched a beta version and this has lots of problems.. As said earlier, that scrolling problem is there and even flash content sometimes does load sometimes it is too slow.. But apart from that .. google has worked nicely on saving cpu ram. Even if i open 10 tabs then also 30-40 mb ram is consumed … which is much much less as compared to other brower… Browersing obviously is quite fast and secure

Hope launched with a better and improved versions soon to beat rest..

I paid for that eight gig or ram in my PC and I want ot make sure its getting some use :D And why am I here if I dislike it, thats simple. I am a mod maker and if I find Google Chrome developing soemthing new, then I am going to make it for Firefox, the browser that has the user in mind and not a big data mining corporation.

I found a minor problem in Google Chrome. In Vista, chrome time to time, sometimes, gives a application has encountered an error, error. To disable it, the best bet is to disable the UAC. That worked for me, and now I'm using Chrome to the fullest of experiences. :D
