Question about
Anybody else having major issues with Chrome in Lion?
I have never had any issues with Chrome in the past, after I upgraded to Lion, things stopped working. Tabs crash, pages freeze, the browser locks up and other nonsense. While I am running Lion on minimal RAM (2 GB), I have considerable RAM not being used and the same with the CPU. I also saw a similar comment here goo.gl/3x8c5 but other than that I haven't heard any complaints. Anybody else experiencing issues?

Yes, I've been having pretty bad tab crashes and slow input into the URL bar.
What extensions are you running? After I disabled a number of extensions, the instances of crashing tabs significantly decreased (still happens once a day or so, but it happened every 20 minutes before).
Currently, the only extensions I'm running are Flashblock, Adblock, 1Password, Bitly, Pinboard, and "Sexy Undo Close Tab" (worst name ever!).

Chrome stable hasn't been updated for Lion yet, but if you don't mind running a dev channel version of Chrome, Chrome 14 Betas have been updated for Lion. googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/search/label/Dev...

While I wouldn't say I've been experiencing *major* issues (8 GB RAM), I've had the occasional tab crash in Chrome, where in Snow Leopard it was very rare. I'm assuming we'll see a Chrome update soon though.

Running Lion on an early 2008 MB pro - no problem with Chrome at all.
I use it pretty extensive, at least 20 tabs at any time, usually not shutting the browser down. It just works as before for me.

I haven't had any issues with Chrome so far. I guess I lucked out!

Not any major issues. I would love it if they updated Chrome to support the new gestures. I switched back to Safari for that reason.
