When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop. You can have a look at the "Stable updates" tag in Release blog for this.

You can also run this command to obtain the version string for the latest chrome version:

$ curl -sSf https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages | \
     grep -A1 "Package: google-chrome-stable" | \
     awk '/Version/{print $2}' | \
     cut -d '-' -f1

Do not report updates for ChromeOS, Android or other platforms stable versions as updates here.

The latest update changed something with the DPI. Everything, including UI elements are massive now, even on my 1080p screen. Many pages I have to zoom out to around 80% to get what they're supposed to look like. I have no idea how to fix this.

Seems like vaapi hw video decode stopped working after updating to 116.0.5845.96-1. I've reverted to the previous version.

Once live captions is enabled, chrome tab CPU usage exceeds 500%, has anyone experienced this issue?

fixed after clear cache data and relaunch the chrome

@minime I think I managed to clear my issue by resetting chrome settings (Settings-Reset Settings) - no idea if this will cure your issue but it might be worth testing. But after the reset Chrome is no longer leaving a process in the background at 100%.

@dsyzling Just so you know, I think I have the same issue. Sometimes CPU utilization spikes up until chrome process gets killed. I wasn't able to pinpoint the exact scenario for a repro, it happens during google meet calls, during playing YT vids, sometimes even in idle. I run the latest arch kernels, proprietary nvidia drivers, i3wm. Machine is a PC, intel 6700k, 16gb ram. Hardware acceleration is on.

Has anyone else experienced 100% CPU utilisation with Chrome - even after closing the browser window I'm left with a chrome process at 100%? This started to occur with a new release a few months back. I've tried hardware acceleration flags and as far as I can see I have hardware decoding enabled. Machine is a Carbon X1 (gen 6). I can watch youtube videos without any issues but if I trigger a google search which yields youtube videos the cpu on one process goes to 100% and I have to manually kill the process from the command line.

I think trusted should be removed from the description

Can confirm the behavior described by dr1fter. Since the last update, google-chrome is unresponsive after resuming from standby.

Existing web pages are displayed properly but the GUI is completely unresponsive (change tab, add a tab, etc.).

I use Manjaro, linux-61 (6.1.31-2), gnome-shell (1:44.1-3) and linux61-nvidia (530.41.03-13).

I will try to find the logs next time it happens.

Dark mode is not working in last update

ollosh commented on 2023-06-08 17:01 (UTC)

Did anything happen recently with forcing dark theme in chrome? Every time I start chrome now all of the pages are dark when following system theme. I do have a light/dark theme switcher script for my setup, but when I check the flags with chrom://version they are correctly passed. Any ideas?
