    I know you don't want to hear this, but since Chrome tracks your every move and reports back to Google, I stopped using it. I know you can opt out of this insidious tracking thing but what a hassle. I now use FireFox. Sorry I can't fix your problem.

    I hope TreeTops is joking since that's not true.

    What version are you on?

    Not joking. Just do a Google search on 'chrome tracks users'.

    Oh, in that case I will quietly laugh at your confusion and let someone else provide you with relevant and up to date information.

    @OP

    What version of Chrome? Are you on the stable, beta, developer, or nightly branch?

    @TreeTops_Ranch

    You are trolling. The OP asked a question about his Chrome browser crashes. Your post is severely off topic and does not in any way contribute towards answering the OP's question. I suggest you edit your post or you remove it entirely.

    Yes, it's trolling. So kindly not do that again TreeTops Ranch.

    Best bet, if you feel strongly about people not using Chrome, start a thread topic about the dangers of using Chrome. The goal of this forum is help other users, share information, and discuss ways of maximizing the enjoyment of our machines.

    :)
