Google Chrome randomly freezing

[smoothpops]

Is anyone else experiencing this? Just all of a sudden, Chrome will freeze for about 10 secs, and the window will say "not responding". I have the latest version, 28.0.1500.95 m, with adblock beta, ghostery and the media hint extension on windows 7 64 bit.

Even after restarting? Sometimes I find flash will crash or some very poorly done site is using up a lot of CPU. Once I had some software install a browser add-on without telling me that was causing YouTube to run super slow.

Windows task manager you can sort by CPU to see if it's a CPU thing. Or in Chrome you can choose "View background pages" from the menu and you can see CPU usage for individual tabs and processes.

Here's the stats for nerds link. I have no clue what any of this really means

F.Lux user..a person of impeccable taste!

I doubt Chrome is the root cause, particularly since it's highly multi-process/thread - a single bad extension or tab is unlikely to cause the browser UI to stop responding to Windows input events (which is why you get that not responding indicator). But, we have nothing else to go on for the moment, so try disabling all extensions, and see if you can repeat the behavior. Then turn the extensions on one at a time.

Why in the hell is there a Flames logo attached to this thread?

something to do with being a flames fan on a flames forum?

Yeah, but you don't need it all the time.

I've disable all extensions, and it's still freezing on me. It's driving me nuts!
