SourceWindows 10 build 10525, which was released to Windows Insiders a few days ago, comes with a bug that causes Google Chrome browser and installed extensions to crash.
While both Google and Microsoft have both confirmed the bug, the first moved really fast to address it, so today the first fix was pushed to users running the Canary build of the browser.
Google Chrome Canary is the nightly build of the browser, which means that just like Windows 10, it's an early version of the application and could come with a number of bugs and issues too. On the good side, it's the only one to work smoothly in Windows 10 build 10525, so in case you were experiencing problems with the browser on this new OS version, running the Canary build is your only option.
And because they're both in preview stage, you kind of know what to expect, so go ahead and download Google Chrome Canary for Windows 10 right now.
Interesting news....
Personally I am not in favor of Google Chrome..... just because it's made by google and logs your every move
But I might be the only one left that has a privacy concern....
Interesting !
far too many corporations do not take our privacy seriously and feel quite at ease to data mine our PC's if there is a better browser that doesn't monitor everything we do I will use it immediately....Google started as a humble search engine, now look at them....scary
And they've gotten away with it, which is in my guess, why Microsoft thinks they can get away with it with Windows 10.
I think there is a point where if they want to offer convenience and functionality they have to collect some data, but there is a line that they both cross many times over (IMO).
So make your choise and pick, cholera or the plague?
Not to be that guy, but is this a real comment? Are you using windows 10?
this forum is meant for asking questions....but on a side note I tried to install a plugin to download the cyclops safety camera database, after a while I was told chrome no longer supports this type of plug in, but offered a link to open it in internet explorer, well I didn't install IE when I installed windows 10 as a matter of preference, this garmin plugin doesn't even work in the edge browser, so I had to download and install IE just to get the safety camera updates......how crazy is that ? first thing I saw when I open IE was would I like to download the better browser ' Google chrome' LOL
What he posted is true. Google does as does MS and just about everyone..
Got to say that regarding stability and privacy Opera Stable 31.x is a pretty good choice since 10074 and under 10525. This is my main browser since more then a decade now, Opera allow me to install these extensions while Google Chrome won't for Disconnect that grab Google Internet appetite.
Download Opera for computers - Opera Software
Ad block: AdBlock extension - Opera add-ons
Disconnect: Disconnect extension - Opera add-ons
Ghostery: Ghostery extension - Opera add-ons
Close and clean: Close Clean extension - Opera add-ons
Chrome Canary now seems to crash regularly in Windows 8.1 - probably Pepper Flash/MS Flash clashing.
