Where is the simple webpage that indicates upcoming and past release dates for Chrome (Stable, Beta & Canary)?
I have looked all over the proper Google sites and not found it.
The page is less than 10 kb.
One of the flags seems to cause my Chrome to crash at start. Running without experiments allows the program to start, so I'm not sure which one it is... :<
what happened to immersive mode?
This is update is mix bag.
The good:
the fixed the crashes which were seriously annoying
They did improve some flash sites which were buggy before
The Chromebook feels all around faster (it might be just me)
The bad
Google plus hangout still doesn't work. I can't connect the call and hangout doesn't start my camera
Youtube video are jumpy, it's funny other flash site (hulu) got better while google's own got sucky. (I guess we can't accuse google of playing favorites)
They removed the scrolling trough we pages (back and forth) from the touch pad. I don't know what that feature was called, but it was really nice.
@elle -
Also having issues with YouTube. Everything else seems to be OK. Wish they would bring back full screen mode though.

chrome://flags, mang. ctrl+f "immersive mode" and there you go.
*Tried and true
@elie
It still works for me. But I have the "Advance gestures" flag enabled, so maybe that's what it is. But then again, it doesn't work every now and then. So maybe you're just trying every time that it doesn't want to work? Haha.
Also. Side note.
I'm also having a problem with the whole YouTube screen tearing thing. Heaps annoying.
I'm running into another problem that, every time I open up a new tab, it automatically opens Google.com. Which would be totally cool, or whatever, but it's real slow and, since I don't have "Always show bookmarks" enabled, I can't see my bookmarks when opening a "New tab".
This started happening when I enabled the "NTP suggestions page" flag, but I've now disabled it AND NOTHING. Still doing the same thing. Sooo annoying.
Any suggestions???
Works better for me , but really miss the 2 finger forward and back control on web page. It looked like what I had on my mac. Please bring that feature back.
