Google Chrome, and GIF thread.

[CurrentlyPissed]

I don't even visit the thread anymore because it runs so poorly on Chrome. Any ideas?

I just open that one in IE11. Chrome just sucks at gifs now. They need to fix that ASAP.

I use Firefox, but I don't want to visit the GIF thread either.

The latest version of chrome seems to have fixed the gif issue.

Can confirm that Chrome is much better now.
This is the version I'm using: Version 43.0.2334.0 dev-m (64-bit).

Page 995 of the anim-gif thread is what I'm using for benchmarking, and Chrome does a much better job on that page than it did previously.

Looking at the source code... seems like they optimized something recently:

Chrome seems to have fixed whatever the issue was.

Fixed for me too.

Any way to force the upgrade? My chrome is stuck at an older version.
