Cloud synchronisation can crash Google's Chrome
11 December 2012, 15:22

On Monday, Google's Gmail service was unavailable, but a side effect of that was somewhat unexpected; Google's Chrome browser on the desktop started crashing for many users. Users noted that a faulty interaction between the browser and Google's servers was causing the crash and made surfing the web impossible. Chromium, the open source base for the Chrome browser, was also affected.

A fix for the client has been committed upstream and the Google engineers are reviewing when it will be merged with the mainstream of Google's Chrome browser releases. The server side issues have already been resolved.
