It's a great update for chrome. Faster now than it ever was and saves battery life. Google really giving their users what they want now.

ah-ha! That'll be why Chrome spazzed out earlier and wouldn't load anything. Would be nice if it told you it had updated itself. This silent update mechanism never seems to go 100% smoothly for me. Just a shame it takes 5 times longer to close Chome and all processes to finish on this netbook than it does to open Chrome a fresh.
that sounds more like a system issue, I can't imagine a Chrome update would prevent other browsers from working too.
My wife was complaining about not being able to load pages, turns out she hadn't actually restarted anything (the laptop or Chrome) in months. Closed Chrome, applied all the pending updates, restarted and I've not heard her complain for a while (about that anyway).
So essentially they added H264 support for HTML5? IIRC it had this a while back, but they dropped it in favour of WebM, which is a royalty-free alternative. That's all well and good, but no current PC hardware has WebM decoding hardware, so it was done in software, so it was generally better to just stick with Flash which does use H264 hardware. Trying to encourage open standards is good, but forcing it far too early on just means people will stick with existing solutions. As an aside, IE9 also supports H264 HTML5.
