Chrome 64 Bit

[rege0039]

Does anyone know if the new version of Chrome, i.e. the 64 bit one, will still kill the battery life on my SP3 ?

The old one had the bug of using the processor all the time, didn't it ?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure if Google does anything a chorus of angels will be Heralding it immediately. no wait, them media fellers ain't no angels... daz just some schmucks pretending to be important.

MUI IE could learn a thing or two from Google about Chrome's swipe back feature. Super smooth. MUI IE not so much.

I'm tracking that bug and this morning I saw an update being pushed which looks like it addresses the timer resolution (along with some other timer related issues). I guess this should become available in the Canary version at any time.

In a positive note, Chrome 37 detects when your click a text field and the keyboard is called automatically. In a negative note a 4k video is virtually unplayable.

Scrolling up and down in chrome is very slow. does anyone know the tweak for that?

Does anyone know, if the battery draining was fixed?

Agreed that MUI IE has a terribly back-swipe; that delay before restoring the screen can be a killer (and it's so unpredictable as well). Otherwise, I've found it very efficient and an excellent browser overall vs. Chrome; I only use the latter when I need to send something to my Kindle, since there's no plugin for IE (period, not even for desktop IE).
