Ooops, sorry. My browser version is Google Chrome 4.0.207.0 (Official Build 25617); WebKit is 532.0; V8 is 1.3.9 Linux version is 2.6.27-14
I usually start Chrome from the Applications menu, so I'm not sure whether I can get console output on crashes. I'll start running it from the terminal... I'm curious as to how many open tabs you typically have, and CPU load/ free memory (particularly on your netbook). Also, do you enable plug- ins and/or extensions? Thank you.
