Google Chrome Question..

[Mitchell]

General Question, stemming from something I read on Facebook. I'm not a techie so to speak, so I'm a bit confused.

I just read an article which said.

"Google Chrome created an update to pause content not essential to the page".

Lately..

When I've used Google Chrome..

The newscast I watch from Philadelphia every night has been pausing/crashing in the middle of the newscast, and not coming back.

Youtube Videos, of baseball content, etc,. have also been pausing and crashing.

Is this the reason why these things are happening, because of the update?

If so, why would Google Chrome put out an update, to crash online videos, where the user cant watch them, on probably the most
"Historically Stable" browser online?

Many of us on this forum are well aware of the problems with Internet Explorer, and how we can be negatively affected by it.

Such has become so true for me with IE, that I've rarely used it in the two months since I bought this computer.

Thoughts/Advice on the browser Google Chrome issues?

In my non-expert opinion, something is terribly wrong with either the browser or (more likely IMO) with Flash. A compatibility issue, perhaps (would explain why it doesn't work right after an update). Reinstalling Flash might do the trick.

Thanks for the advice, kop.. I'll look into, and try what you said.
