Google chrome icons change? Hello, I just had this problem of Google chrome icons changing. Why is this? Also, Google chrome is VERY laggy I can't watch videos smoothly but Firefox works just fine.
Thanks,

Thanks,
-Rick The icon change is a new feature with Google chrome version 21 as for your videos try to disable or remove some extensions and restart Google chrome after your disable/remove and try watching a video. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number ECS OS Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 CPU Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67 Ghz 2.9 Ghz Turbo Clock Motherboard ECS x58B-A Memory 6GB OCZ Gold Edition Triple Channel Graphics Card Asus 7850 2GB Edition Sound Card On Board Monitor(s) Displays Samsung Monitor Screen Resolution 1680x1050 Keyboard Cooler Master Quickfire TK Cherry Mx Blues Mouse Razer Naga PSU Corsair CX 750 Watts Case Fractal Define R4 Cooling 1x140mm Front Intake Fan 1x140mm Exhaust Fan Hard Drives 120GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD Internet Speed Wired Ethernet 15 PING 25.00 Mbps Download 1.00 Mbps Upload Antivirus Avast 8 Free/Windows Firewall Browser Google Chrome Other Info Just ask me if i missed something |

Well thankfully the lag is starting to go away, but the icon on the left... is that an error? Also, is there a way to downgrade to Google chrome 20?

That's annoying I liked the old icon better. Bye the way the browser still lags early in video and stops lagging when the video is done loading.

do you mean the video keeps buffering or are you trying to multi task while watching a video? | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number ECS OS Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 CPU Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67 Ghz 2.9 Ghz Turbo Clock Motherboard ECS x58B-A Memory 6GB OCZ Gold Edition Triple Channel Graphics Card Asus 7850 2GB Edition Sound Card On Board Monitor(s) Displays Samsung Monitor Screen Resolution 1680x1050 Keyboard Cooler Master Quickfire TK Cherry Mx Blues Mouse Razer Naga PSU Corsair CX 750 Watts Case Fractal Define R4 Cooling 1x140mm Front Intake Fan 1x140mm Exhaust Fan Hard Drives 120GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD Internet Speed Wired Ethernet 15 PING 25.00 Mbps Download 1.00 Mbps Upload Antivirus Avast 8 Free/Windows Firewall Browser Google Chrome Other Info Just ask me if i missed something |

Just let the video buffer me Personally it buffers faster on 720P or 1080P HD Try switching the Quality of the videos and pause it and let it buffer have you tried removing some extensions in Google chrome like i asked and if you have any extensions left post them as a screen shot | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number ECS OS Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 CPU Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67 Ghz 2.9 Ghz Turbo Clock Motherboard ECS x58B-A Memory 6GB OCZ Gold Edition Triple Channel Graphics Card Asus 7850 2GB Edition Sound Card On Board Monitor(s) Displays Samsung Monitor Screen Resolution 1680x1050 Keyboard Cooler Master Quickfire TK Cherry Mx Blues Mouse Razer Naga PSU Corsair CX 750 Watts Case Fractal Define R4 Cooling 1x140mm Front Intake Fan 1x140mm Exhaust Fan Hard Drives 120GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD Internet Speed Wired Ethernet 15 PING 25.00 Mbps Download 1.00 Mbps Upload Antivirus Avast 8 Free/Windows Firewall Browser Google Chrome Other Info Just ask me if i missed something |

Thanks,
-Rick In this situation it is better to use Firefox, isn't it ?
Uninstall Google Chrome, and reinstall it again, that would be the easiest way to fix those icons issue. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Assembled OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit SP 1 CPU Intel Core i3 2120 @ 3.30GHz Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
