Any way to hide that thing? Not seeing an option for that in the settings.
Oh thanks for the info, didn't even know Chrome had that feature and now that I installed it again the user switcher is gone.
I'm still having problems with gifs, the affected tab gets really slow and unresponsive.
Still sucky for me. Beta x64 Windows here.
Beta 64bit Mac here.
Gif heavy tabs are back to loading instantly for me with no slowdowns.

I hope they push it out to stable soon. I don't really like having to use Safari.

Not as far as I know. It's there to stay. I believe they're trying to increase the visibility of Incognito Mode so people start using it more. Which is a good thing I guess, but like anything that has close to a billion users, not everyone is going to like it.
My OCD is making me twitch right now...ugh

How has the text issue remained on Win7 in Chrome and Chromium? Enabling DirectWrite or LCD text antialiasing doesn't fix it.
Incredible
chrome://flags/#enable-new-profile-management
Should be able to disable first option

Just installed the beta on my Mac. Still laggy as shit for me too when GIFs are loading. Guess I'm going to Safari permanently.
I have the same issue. I think turning off hardware acceleration for video solves it, but RAM usage may be higher.
I also get constant page has become unresponsive popups. And by constant I mean every 5 minutes. It's so annoying because they superimpose themselves on all other windows. I clean install solved it before, but then it came back. Tried it again and no dice. Haven't installed any new or strange extensions so ¯_(ツ

Do you have the latest Catalyst Omega installed? Might not also be a bad idea to switch to Chrome 64-bit. It's seamless.
Ah yes I do, I'll look into chrome 64 for sure.
See my post above, having the exact same issue. I've searched for days for a solution and nothing has come up. Seems to be fairly widespread.
I am, but these issues have been going on for a few months.
I'm done with chrome. It crashes on gifs, videos stutter all the time now, I can't even have more then a few tabs open. Am I suppose to buy a new pc to browse the internet? F that. And I know its not the computer because IE and firefox work fine. It even lags on my phone and ipad. Sites that would crash on my ipad run perfectly fine on safari. So yeah I'm done. I'm posting this from my IE browser :/
I'm not sure if this is GAF specific, but after browsing even a few pages, images will just stop loading and I need to close chrome and reopen it. I only have a few tabs open too.
And even before that, it takes ages for links to be clickable - even the basic gaming forum page so no gifs or anything.

I just noticed this today. My name was in the top right of the browser. WTF?
Luckily I found a fix
Chrome://flags
under Enable the new avatar menu, click disable

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
This never popped up for me. Are they doing a slow roll out, or has Google actually nixed something that people didn't like?
So, I just switched back to pc after years on Mac and I'm learning windows over. I've been using chrome fine but yesterday the window disappeared.
I have it running but can't see anything. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it but I'm running into the problem again. Same thing happened with file explorer but after a restart it worked again. Any ideas?
I'm on windows 8.1

I started having a weird issue with Chrome and youtube a day or two ago.
The way my 2 monitors are generally setup is that I have a maximized Chrome window on the main screen and a non maximized one on my second monitor that takes roughly 90% of the screen. The last 10% (the far right) is a 1 column window of TweetDeck I keep there.
Now in the last couple of days youtube stopped resizing to fit the window properly on my second monitor. This means that when I open a window the video will be sized for my full resolution instead of the size of the actual window and I get a horizontal scroll bar. Really annoying.

I've decided to use Chrome profiles on my computer to sync all my stuff to all my devices, BUT what I realized is anyone can just switch to my profile? Can you not password protect your Chrome profile? I made another profile that people can use but mine isn't protected at all and I can't find an option anywhere. Seems to be completely missing the point for me.
They can, but if you create a supervised user, you can't add any extensions/plugins to that profile. Also, there's still no real way to lock your profile as far as I can find.
One useful thing about the is that I can link all of my family members' profiles to y computer and connect to there's remotely to fix their computer issues with Chrome Remote Desktop, though.
I don't know about the extension situation but you can lock your admin account by clicking on your username (right corner in chrome) and choose the last option (lock account). After that you have to input your Google password to access your chrome profile.
I've read about that but the only options that appear for me is "Switch Person" and "Go Incognito."
Did you already create a supervised user? When you create it you have to click on the option to track the Users Data via your email adress/google login
Ah, that may be it. I created a supervised user but removed it after discovering I couldn't install apps (this is how I connect to my parents' PC, by linking their gmail account to my chrome and using Chrome Remote Desktop for unlimited access). I guess I'll make a supervised guest account to activate that lock feature. Thanks!

Weird. Chrome says "the administrator has deactivated updates" accompanied by an exclamation mark in a yellow box, in the "about chrome" section. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but I get the same thing. I'm using the version 43.0.2357.65 m (64-bit) on Windows 7.
Is it just for me ?
edit: well I fixed it by modifying some value in the registry, as detailed in this video. It's still weird though. I wonder if it could be the work of the bullshit spyware that I got from some emulator website last week.

question / annoyance
(Windows 7 desktop)
Since a few weeks (months?) I've noticed that if your window size is below a certain width, many websites will then switch to the mobile version.
Is there any way to disable that nonsense?

Is there any way to change the blurred rendering behavior when scrolling? Whenever I scroll the page quickly the previously out of frame areas becomes slightly blurred, unlike Firefox.
Checked the :flags page but none of the options seemed to make a difference, but I may have missed one.

Why does the page load in a white, blocky pattern when I scroll quickly. I was looking to switch to chrome from safari for the extensions, but that's just infuriating.

Is anyone else getting Nvidia display driver crashes? I feel like Chrome is the culprit.

Oh great, Chrome 44 stops the flag that hides your name displaying in the top right from working https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=451920

There's a reason they hide them and advise people not to use them. When they put something behind a flag like that, it's going away, it's already been decided, and there's nothing you can do about it. Might as well just get used to it from the beginning.

With people actually using that flag though, as they point out in the issue, there was the hope they'd acknowledge that as more than an annoyance and add in official suport for hiding the label. Best I've managed is rename myself to 1 character.

You can kill it for a little bit longer, but this solution will also be removed in 45 according to the comments.

Once something like this goes behind a flag, it's done for. Chrome almost never adds options, it's fundamental to their philosophy.

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
The best I've been able to do is use Chrome as a guest, but doing that I can't customize how I want cookies to function.
I was really irritated when I logged in to Gmail today and saw a message telling me that Chrome had been linked to my Gmail account because I logged in while using it. I never wanted any of the other Google services attached to my Gmail account, it never made much difference though, because the only other one I ever used was YouTube. I just made a new account for that at the time.
The idea that now, if I use someone else's computer to check my email, I'll have to unlink my Gmail account from Chrome is irksome. I'm looking at Vivaldi to replace Chrome, but it has issues with cookies too.
