Comment Chrome locks up/Goes to 100% CPU (Score 1) 489

I've been loving chrome, the fast startup is really what brings me back day after day, but it has a big problem with flash and pdf's. Often times watching videos sends the cpu to 100%, sometimes for 20-30 seconds, longer than it takes to startup FF which doesn't have this problem. And it always seems to do it when viewing pdf in-browser, trying to scroll immediately sends it to 100% cpu, rendering it unusable. If they can fix these bits, I wouldn't mind not having add-ons

Check out our story with comments from Chris Israel, the U.S. Coordinator for International Intellectual Property Enforcement. Israel is formerly a senior Commerce Department official appointed by President Bush in July 2005 who previously worked for Time Warner's public policy arm (Warner Bros. Records is one of the plaintiffs in the RIAA case). We also have an interview with Rep. Rick Boucher, no fan of the RIAA, on whether Congress will change the law, an analysis of why U.S. copyright law is broken, and four reasons why the RIAA won."
