Google Chrome and Facebook...

Ajax Other

googlechrome ...is just not working as it should. There are major Ajax problems in that browser. I know, it came out like this week, but they talk much about the rigorous testing they go through and how Chrome should work well on popular sites. Well Facebook should count as quite popular I guess.

I'm sure it'll be fixed very quick, and other than that - the browser seems to work pretty well. The UI feels clean and bare-bone, and occationally it feels somewhat faster.

I like the Google Chrome story they made, very cool.

Thankfully I am not the only one with Facebook/Chrome difficulties.

Knowing, how the Google team normally respond to these kind of issues it should be fixed really soon.

Same issue as everyone else with Facebook and also doesnt work totally right with my internet banking for some reason. You would have thought someone would have tested it on Facebook given it's one fo the most popular sites around.

Same problem here, can't use almost any button, waiting for the new version or patch.

I find it funny that it sometimes isn't working with Gmail either... oops!

There's a problem with Chrome and Ajax in this browser.. It seems to give up on Facebook when trying to load the next photo and just jumps back to the previous page.

Oops!

A patch should be available soon no doubt.

Well, they did talk about the fact that most of their testing methods are automatic and that they've done less testing with sites requiring authentication.
Still nice to know the problem affects everyone.
Although, it's already been a few days...

@JONI - Sure it has... unfortunately not (yet). But I'll write a blog post as soon as there's a new version of Chrome that seems to work well on the websites I use regularly. Cheers!

I cant get it to work properly with neither Facebook, Netbanking or many flash-plugins (including those on Facebook).

It may have to do with them liking myspace better than facebook... :) Seriously though, brining out a browser that doesn't work with facebook is pretty bad, if I were google I'd be ashamed of myself.

I have now ditched chrome as these problems are now beyond annoying.

Oh snap. Any updates Googlers? did the code branch get lost on the secret squirrel CVS? I'll check Area 51
