Tab Multi-Select - this is great also shift works too.
Yeah! Version 12! Win Vista/32bit
I have been trying to find a way to do this for a while, and hopefully someone here knows how:
I want to have chromium revisions show up in my Google Reader as an rss feed. I can get updates to all issues, but I just want revisions. I have tried various filtering tools, but nothing works that well. Can I get an rss from the svn log?
"numberous crash and regresson fixes" -> "numerous crash and regression fixes"
The icon got reverted back in the About Google Chrome page!
Tab Multi-Select doesn't seem to work for me with Debian Sid Linux. Holding down ctrl (or shift) and selecting tabs just switches to the tab.
@Chris, you can follow the Chromium SVN checkins from:
http://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-checkins/
Get the feeds by clicking the "XML" button at the page bottom.
when i click on about after the upgrade it still shows the old version # and has the relaunch icon. I click relaunch and check version # again and still the same old version #
Same here, back to the Chrome 11 logo, did they scrap the new one?
@krtulmay
Thanks! That worked great. I wish Google Reader had the ability to filter feeds so I could know which issues the revisions were affecting.
@Figjam: It's currently Windows only. This post is incorrect. You can follow the progress on Mac/Linux at crbug.com/30572
hey, I cannot drag and drop links to open new tab.
Strange ! why they reverted to the old logo, i'm so disappointed...
Revert :
- Command+Q to quit don't need to be press 2 times or more than 1sec to quit like before
- Old Logo
Son i'm disappointed :D
I want the new logo back. I preferred it over the glossy original that has returned in this release.
Awesome Version 12, Waiting for version 25, 50, 75, 100 :)
Feature:
1. please merge the tabs and address bar.
2. and then make it auto-hideable.
3. Move toolbars menu to left life firefox i sometime accidentally hit X when grabbing toolbar.
4. Reclaim the tiny space below address bar and b/w pages. it's very tiny like millimeters.
Thanks for continuous development. I hope you guys never stop.
I want the new logo back!!!!!
OMG,
30min of use:
- 10-15 Crash
- some big lag at launch
- web browsing freeze
- random 100% CPU.
This is really an update ??? XD
How do you multi select in mac? I tried everything: Shift, control, option, command... nothing works
Guys get the new logo back. Cheers.
Only problem so far is that the old logo is back.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=77354
Cannot update. Update Server Not found Error 7.
Win7 64bit
WOW! Improved bookmark bar animations? How about a bookmark side panel like every other browser has had for the past 10+ years?
Tab Select, am i missing something? Ctrl Click, doesnt work shift Click doesnt work....???
For all people have a lot of problem with Chrome,
Download a new version of Chrome seem to be a good way to resolve problems !!!
Update fail.
Would crash very often on Mac.
Surf for a few minutes and browser will hang, become unusable and cpu will spike.
Looking forward to another update soon.
For those looking for the Confirm to Quit option, go to Chrome on the menubar and the option should be just about Quit Chrome.
Multi-Tab select does not work on the Mac
First off I want to say the browser is awesome, but one new 'experiment' isn't.
Resetting to the default theme and then enabling the "Experimental new tab page" creates a home page with ridiculously large, unmovable, unlabeled app icons with not a single webpage address anywhere to be found.
The three paging buttons at the bottom are a nice idea, but nothing happens with the "recently closed" or the all lowercase "example at gmail.com" areas. (is this supposed to be an email address without an @ symbol? Or is it stating there is some sort of example at Gmail.com? Either way it's added confusion and currently does nothing.)
Worst of all, someone had the brainstorm to anchor a huge Chrome logo persistently at the bottom left of the home screen. Is that what you want to say about your users? That they must be too stupid to remember which browser they are using so you must remind them all the time? Are the "channel identification tags" in the lower corner of a television screen something that delights or annoys?
If you continue to develop a start page similar to this, I guarantee you the first new plugin will be to somehow disable the forced advertising logo, the simplest being to use another browser. Seriously, not even MSFT does it.

* Multiselecting tabs is not working on Ubuntu /64bit.
* Old logo
Old Logo!!
why is that?
The new one is way more elegant.
p.s the multi-selecting is awesome
@Vonster, The new tab page experiment is a work in progress. If you don't like it, don't use it. Wait until a more prepared version comes out before you criticize it. It's a developer version for a reason. New ideas get DEVELOPED.
Does Chrome work properly with high DPI set by the os in Windows Vista 64bit yet ?
Hi,
The multi tab selection doesn't work on Windows XP SP3.
Happy the old logo is back :P
Well on my machines this appears to be a lot more stable, smoother and faster than the previous version, a lot less random freezes.
The new Tab page is cool and I can see what they are trying to do, but it obviously a working a progress. But old one seem to have out grown it usefulness and was looking a bit slap to together.
As from the multi tab selection I honestly do not see myself using very often, unless you will be able to save such a selection somewhere on the new tab page.
Gmail mail/chat notifications are broken.
In gmail it keeps giving me turn on mail notifications and clicking on that message or going through settings doesn't do anything.
Odd... I have 12.0.713.0 canary build and can't multi-select tabs like you're supposed to be able with this (slightly older) build on dev channel.
I'm on Windows...
Ooh, I see it now... It works, but the selection state is barely visible here, at least on my skin and running incognito, if any of that matters.
*bangs head off desk* so now the public cry for new logo?
Jesus, there's no pleasing some people. Keep the logo as it is now (old version), the other looked like sick.
@Johnny - Whether or not I like the new tab experimental page is irrelevant. What is relevant is the fact that it is completely non-functional. Maybe Google should be the one to wait until a more prepared version comes out before they offer it as a user option. That's why I left user feedback, which is what this website is all about.
Not all new ideas get developed and not all experiments are successful.
You'll figure it out eventually.
Multi-select is not working in Mac. I would welcome this feature...if only it worked!
And I welcome the return of the old logo. :)
It is nice btu why did the ancient logo/icon reappeared ? :(
Annoying reccurent problem since first release of Chrome mac: crappy scrolling !! :-(
Scrolling in chrome mac is totally sluggish compared to safari or Firefox for example. That's the reason I can't stay on Chrome mac.
Are you planning to fix it very soon ?
I want the new logo back to this version please!
Pretty much unusable on my OS X machine. New tabs won't react and just stay blank, current tabs can't refresh. Can't quit Chrome either, have to force quit it. And the new logo was awesome, bring it back.
I want the new icon back! It is so much more elegant...
Multiple-tab selection doesn't work on a Mac because ctrl-click is already system assigned to bring up the context menu. I suggest changing it to shift-click. Works better and is also much more intuitive.
This update also has some glitches, at least the Mac version does. In just an hour, the browser froze twice: clicking on links, scrolling and basically any functionality stopped working. I could switch between tabs, but nothing else. Had to force quit Chrome.
I also think the Cmd+Q settings changed. I liked it better the way it was before.
Where can I go to find some more information about what "Chrome Frame" is? Is that my Chrome OS?
I realize there is a Chrome OS Label for these blog posts but it is rarely used and doesn't appear to be used for dev channel updates so I'm hoping this means these Dev updates labels are what is applied to the dev channel for Chrome OS users.
Thanks.
I hope that tab Multi-Select is the prelude for the real tab grouping feature.
F YEAH!! "The icon got reverted back in the About Google Chrome page!"
I hated the previous new icon...
The new tab page doesnt work...
and the multitab is not working
and old logo is back
on windows xp pro
If you are having any issues i would recommend re installing chrome. It had helped me in past.
edit:the multi tab works but i think it needs a better way to indicate that it has been selected
the new tab page has one icon and sends me to extensions
why the old logo come back?
I love the new logo actually!
Cool Update, Love the new tab page... however, some UI suggestions
a) bring old logo back
b) better UI for selected tabs. All that you do is make it ligher and I can barely tell.
Why the old logo? :-(((
@Vonster: The Dev channel (and *especially* about:flags) is meant to be a test ground for new ideas that are still in their infancy. If Google wanted to wait until ideas were fully developed before releasing them, there would be no point in having a Dev channel. The experimental NTP isn't even close to done, so it isn't worth griping about it. Just wait it out and see how it develops. If you don't like half-baked implementations, move to the Stable channel or stop using about:flags.
It CRASHES when I try and print a page. When I right click and select print all the tabs crash.
i dont like "OLD" logo ;/
Yes, please bring back new logo !
Multi-tab is currently only for Windows. It's not available yet for Mac nor Linux.
Add a STAR to http://crbug.com/30572 to get further updates on the Mac and Linux progress.
Also, the old logo is a bug. Add a STAR to http://crbug.com/77354 to see when they fix it.
In order to make this latest build working on Mac again - in case you have such issues - goto about:flags and disable "Enable better omnibox history matching".
That did it for me.
ps: yeah, bring the new logo back.
hotmail/inbox/options/more options/acc details -> rendering problems
bring back the new logo! the new multiple tab select feature is a nice touch, but it doesn't really improve browsing.. the real deal would be adding the "select by domain" feature we saw on chromestory.com. and for god's sake, when I search for a specific term in the history, I want to be able to delete pages from that spot right there, not go back into the full history, and look for the entry I want to delete with hours
Why you devs not make available both new and old logo so we can choose???
I really really liked the previous logo... :(
I really like the suggestions mentioned but these are my favorite:
1) Let us choose the logo we want
2) The new experimental tab page needs a lot of work.
3) Have a better animation to make it easier to see if you have chosen multiple tabs
Please make every new chrome window open like the last one, if its maximized, it should be maximized, if its minimized, then minimized...
2-factor fixes for cloud print proxy on linux... thank you dev team!
All (or most?) of tabs with https:// intranet pages display "Aw, snap!" crashes with this version.
I had issues with my gmail chat not working
So i uninstalled, deleted all local data and it's working fine.
Yehh!! the outstanding old logo has returned :D who dare says that's a bug; go fuk yourself, the new one is hedious.
Love the new multiple bar selection, apparently, using the control key to select multiple tabs seems to work only on my pinned tabs; but shift works fine on all tabs :)
I'm guessing that no self-respecting Chrome engineer is wasting time in these blog comment threads, with such insipid logo-related assertions. There's a reason Chromium has bug reports, folks - and if you don't the new logo, fork the project. #futility
Thank you, however, to "George" - who suggested that toggling the "Enable better omnibox history matching" flag (off) would fix the random issues with the latest dev build. So far, so good.
To the rest of you whiners: grow up and submit a workable bug report to the devs. ;)
Multi-tab editing works, but the highlight colour is extremely subtle, especially as I'm using a theme where the tabs are already close to white.
Was Inspector removed, or is it just missing from the linux amd64 build? I would really hate to see it go away!
Chrome Returned To Old Logo! Dissappointing!
BTW Multiple Tabs working perfectly on Windows 7 32 Bit
No update available for me, About still says 11.0.696.16 dev-m is up to date...
What happened to the new logo :( I want it back it was really great. I know i know, when it was released everyone was like "huh? what's that" but after having it for 2 days I just started to love it and lots of people think the same - just simple, looks so lovely on desktop!!! We want it back!
Despite the amazing work Chrome Developers has been doing with all these releases, I think they need to put a little more time working with the Mac version of Chrome. I see Windows versions more stable and has more features (like Flash Sandboxing, GPU Sandboxing, Overall performance). Other than that.. GREAT!
If anyone noticed, there is a new Experimental new tab page in flags. I like it. now they just need to allow the theme background and it would look great.
The new logo looked great in the dock on Ubuntu.
Enough about the bloody logos. What happened to the inspector? On my system (debian/amd64) it's now gone.
@Ben: http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/
But IMHO IE9 doesn't need it.
On Mac:
The scrolls disappears, the page dislocated and cannot get to the top, and the three finger swap doesn't work anymore...
How do I install the previous version?
I miss the three finger swipe down to see the thumbnails of all the tabs!!!
Am I the only one getting '...' at the start of tabs too?
@Graeme - Thanx for your revelation to not use the experimental features if I don't like them. I'm fairly certain the point of the development channel is to test out items that are under development.
Useless additions that offer zero functionality are not testable and undeveloped. As such, Google receives no developmental input from usage and only serves to create negative confusion from those who may have activated the function and then incorrectly complain the browser itself is poor.
My 'griping' is in reality the only constructive criticism about the experimental new tab function to date. I guess you feel if I provided the hundredth opinion on the new logo or corrected a minor spelling mistake Google would have somehow benefited more. You would be wrong.
Experimental features are wonderful and a great way to try out potentially new functionality. Completely unusable features offer no function, no features, no benefits and no experimentation. Providing any level of end user with a non-functional option is irrelevant and pointless with zero benefits to either party.
@btxhaxor: This is a new feature, read more @ http://chromestory.com/2011/03/multiple-tab-selection-and-tab-title-elision-now-in-chromium/
Where is now the fabulous tab overview (like exposé) with three-fingers swipe down on Mac ??
We want it back, was wonderful, with the new logo ;)
Emmanuel
Hi , usually I don't complain about small problems in the dev channel, but this version has a problem with webkit I think . On allot of websites parts of the website are overlapped its the first time I have seen this in chrome . I have also tested the sites in FF4 and everything displays ok there. Sorry but I didn't save the link to those sites.
OMG! WHY WHY!!? Please give us the new logo back! Why did you put the old logo back again :(
o.0 My Gmail disabled Offline Gmail and says "Offline Mail is not supported by your browser. Learn more". Anyone else?
I actually won't prefer to deinstall and delete (lose) all my local data to try to fix this (if not really, really necessary).
@Claude: Gears is no longer supported in Chrome.
@Claude: Kurtextrem is right. Gmail is working on a fix using other HTML5 storage functions.. as a workaround you can use the beta channel that still has gears (removed in v12)
For the "new logo lovers" out there:
Go to: C:\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application
and change the filename : "old_chrome" to "chrome" and "chrome" to something else and you have the new logo back...
Awesome experimental new tab page flag, it is totally useless <--
Offline Mail is not supported by your browser. :-( Why?
please give us NEW logo we love it!
Site http://iskampc.com/ have 3 main column design. With chrome 12 first and second columns are ok, but third column for some reason overwraps with first one. With chrome 11 it is visualized ok. Tried with IE8 it is ok too.
oh, gears is already removed... i heard of the change in gmail to HTML5 storage, but assumed that would be a seamless change.
well then, beta... as i really need offline gmail with my internet connection here in africa :)
thanks for the reply, guys!
Enough with the "Icon."
I'm using Win Vista x32, hitting cntrl+left click doesn't work for the "Tab Multi select" option.
IMPORTANT: The same here. Offline Gmail (Google Apps domain) doesn't work ANYMORE on this release!!!
Can't enable it in Gmail Settings as well as can't access offline data.
Netflix is messed up. Episode listings for TV shows have some serious overlap. Probably the same issue as other people are mentioning regarding other websites.
When downloading something, there becomes a "stripe" at the bottom of the window that is incorrectly rendered. The scroll bar is confused too, like this strip is another window, sort of like a frame might be. Only cure is to close that window and open another.
Sometimes, content from a different tab or other page in history is rendered in the stripe.
>> Seems the sync function is broken too.. I have the same version installed @home and work, and my chrome app's and extensions are not being updated.
Perhaps google need to modify the google profiles for the new dev...
>> The multi-selection of tabs don't work (debian Squeeze / Ubuntu 10.04)
>> Old icon - mentioned above
>> seeing they are updating the code, it seems that have broken web overlays ...
>> They need to add the function to sync personal search parameters.
W.
Constantly hangs after some idle period (a few minutes). Mac OS X 10.6.7.
Just an update -- to have Chrome dev re-sync itself, I had to clean my profile on the g servers, and re-sync
After all that, everything works as planned.
Cheers.
As I said before, tabs crash when you right click to print.
HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE YOU TO FIX THE TAB CRASHES WHEN TRYING TO PRINT?
@Tornadoes28
Dude, I'm unable to reproduce your issue on my windows Vista operating system.
I get an error where pages are the wrong height, as if there was another page in a frame at the bottom. Anyone else seeing this?
Does anyone know when the chrome.experimental.tts API might be taken out of experimental - so that it can be run in a dev channel browser without flags???
Many thanks
Project metalmouth
I'm waiting for the next release!
@ Mike B
I have that problem. You are not alone. I am using GC in Mac OS X 10.6.7.
HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE YOU TO FIX THE TAB CRASHES WHEN TRYING TO PRINT?
Please move "Clear browsing data" out the the tab settings page. I have to CTRL+SHIFT+DEL, wait for the tab to load, click clear, and then close the tab.
All I have to do in Firefox is CTRL+SHIFT+DEL, instantly loads, click "Clear".
I've been waiting for you to fix this, but you seem you be ignoring peoples voices and forcing your ideas onto them now.
Recently started using Firefox again.
@Mike B I see this too, on Mac, almost every time I download something.
This has been way too long. I'm bored of the current bugs. Please give me the latest version with these bugs fixed and new ones to delight in.
Hi, may I know how to refresh selected tabs all at once?
