Aww Snap!!! Chrome unfriendly to Win 7

Posted by Deekshith Marla


I was never a great fan of Google Chrome.As a heavy browser,I find Firefox as the best browser for me.Main reason being the plugins and Add-ons. Although IE8 is faster than FF consuming less memory,i still prefer FF over IE8 because IE 8 crashes more than bumping car..oh.. MS :( .

Anyways, since Chrome caugh my attention recently ,I thought I would try it on Win7 The installation went fine and it even imported my bookmarks from IE8.but once I opened Chrome,it said “Aww Snap Chrome has crashed..”.I tried restarting,then opened in compatibility mode..still couldn't even open a single page.

Aw, Snap!

It looks like the problem is already noted as I found this issue reported in Chrome’s official website .(issue 11583).

I also tried installing the latest beta version and the shortcut modification which appears to be the only solution available now,unfortunately both didn’t work. I don’t think i will try it again..I am happy with Firefox(3.1 beta 4) and will wait for FF 3.1 full release
