What happens when Google's Chrome crashes?

Maybe I give off some unusual electrical impulse, but whatever the reason, I'm the guy who can crash any computer or application in no time flat. Hard drives melt down under my fingers, I get a couple of BSODs a week at least, and naturally, I've even managed to crash Google's new supposedly super-stable browser, Chrome.

That in itself isn't terribly noteworthy, but I did appreciate the humorous message Chrome gave me (while trying to preview an upcoming CNET review), so I screengrabbed it for your viewing pleasure.

i have also crashed chrome. almost a few times already.

it is interesting all the weird animations they put in. also when a particular tab fails to load or is not responding a pop-up w/ a similar animation will be put on the screen too.

Well, I cannot even get it installed. The install crashed for me and I cannot uninstall or reinstall successfully. What gives Google?

Comcast is the largest broadband provider in the U.S. and Chrome doesn't fully work with it's home page. Big mistake or poor planning by Google. Top that off with Comcast tech support's bragging that Chrome will never work with their home page and any number of other poor interactions with Microsoft enabled web pages, and you can see the restraint of trade quite easily. Google's lawyers should be rushing off to court as we speak.

One thing to note is you didn't actually manage to crash Chrome -- you crashed a tab within Chrome. That's a pretty big distinction, and means that if you had content up in any other tab, you wouldn't have lost it. That process / protection model is one of Chrome's key features.

Well, I get the same thing but the difference is that I get it all the time. I can´t use Chrome.

I've crashed it at least 1/2 dozen times in the past 2 weeks since I downloaded it. Chrome also seems to "stall" when loading PDF documents ... anyone else have that problem?

I had loads of problems with Chrome at first, but this as somehow managed to sort itself out and rarely crashes now.
Having said that I had problems at the beginning, was a small price to pay for the quality of Chrome, we all as a family testify to its performance and the occasional glitch is a very, very tiny price to pay.

I've been using Chome for a while now (almost a month?), and I've only had one crash during the first week. It's just so much faster than the other browsers I switched to it immediately, despite the beta status. I've only run into one website that didn't work properly with Chrome, and that was because it required ActiveX support. My only qualms are that add-in support hasn't been developed yet, and that there's no way to install it for all the users on a computer.

Nice note, but you should consider blurring the address since it discloses details about how CNET handles internal addresses. Information security ;-)
