With Chrome, I never can predict which of my gmail addresses will appear in the SIGN IN field. If it's not one I want, I have to use the keyboard to type it in. What an annoyance. Any way to fix this?

The cutting edge development version works great, but I have one gripe. I use Chrome to download files from NOAA on a daily basis and whenever you go to download the second image it pauses for a good while and then finally asks if its okay to allow the site to download multiple files. Of course it's okay, I asked the site to do it. Could Chrome please remember my decision? Thanks! Google Chrome has been my default browser since it came out.

It always jumps back the one before the previous page. I upgraded to v.2 and it crashed every single time. I can’t use my mouse back or forward button on Chrome.

First the new adwords UI - displays perfectly in IE, and not so perfectly in Chrome - issues with fitting the UI onto the screen etc. The major problem for me though is using Google Analytics in Chrome - I have a grey box over my graphs and then after a while the entire tab crashes, saying there's a problem running Flash Shockwave - this only happens in Analytics and happens to everyone else in the office too. This started about a month ago - I've left feedback but still ongoing... Otherwise - LOVE Chrome, keep having to use IE to look at Analytics and I so hate not being able to search by the 'address bar' Chrome Vs Google Products

Hi matt,

I’m having some real problems with using Google products on Chrome. First the new adwords UI – displays perfectly in IE, and not so perfectly in Chrome – issues with fitting the UI onto the screen etc.

The major problem for me though is using Google Analytics in Chrome – I have a grey box over my graphs and then after a while the entire tab crashes, saying there’s a problem running Flash Shockwave – this only happens in Analytics and happens to everyone else in the office too. This started about a month ago – I’ve left feedback but still ongoing…

Otherwise – LOVE Chrome, keep having to use IE to look at Analytics and I so hate not being able to search by the ‘address bar’

We’re gradually working towards better solutions on our trunk, where we can restore entire closed windows at once and preserve the list of recently closed items across restarts; eventually we want you to be able to “undo” a mistake like this, instead of just popping up an annoying “are you sure?” box that you habitually click “yes” on, only to realize that _this_ time you _didn’t_ mean it. Ummm, actually it WOULD solve the problem. There are many times that chrome is "frozen" or at least appears to be, and when it finally wakes up I find that one of my clicks to close a different application was captured by chrome, which then disappears without a whimper. If a multi-tabbed window of chrome is closed and there are other chrome floater windows open at the time, then restarting chrome does not restore the now-closed tabs. Also, I sometimes track sites that change daily and keep several tabs of the same site open. Chrome has no way of restoring those pages that are now lost forever... why not just listen when a customer asks for something rather than assume they really know not what they ask? Peter wrote:
