Strange Chromium browser behaviour

I made this link:
http://bit.ly/16reGvbon lmgtfy.com today, and it runs nicely in Firefox but not in Chromium!
It takes forever to run or not at all...
Since Chromium is a Google browser that is odd.
I use Version 25.0.1364.172 (187217) and it does not matter if I deactivate adblock.
Does anyone else have this behaviour in Chromium? I suspect it must be a Javascript setting thing....
Edit;
And while you are testing let's have some fun:
http://bit.ly/sYS0Jx(Tell me what happened

)
http://bit.ly/teVeFNI love to do this one on the computers of others when I pass because it is so fast - and then I watch the frentic virus search and calling....

It works in any Google search field or in the integrated search field of your browser if you have Google as your search engine. Except in Chromium... (Yes IE too - those are the ones calling MS support when you do this

)

The first one,
http://bit.ly/16reGvb works in my latest 64-bit Seamonkey, which has Ghostery and is my main browser.
It also works in my Chromium, which I only use for google talk and is pretty vanilla, nothing to block the "Sexy Lingerie" ad at google,
Version 21.0.1180.81 Mandriva 2011.0 (151980)
Next!
http://bit.ly/sYS0Jx works on both, pretty cool.
Next!
http://bit.ly/teVeFN works on both.

Hm Must be either the version or some of my paranoid settings in Arch.
It works in Iron on my Mandiva too

Yeah, I was going to say, for someone so privacy-minded, you sure use a browser that's not privacy-minded (Chrome). Glad to see you do use Iron.
Works for me. FF, Chrome. I'm having a bit of an issue getting Iron installed these days, so no results for it.
Where are you getting the google-chrome install file from? Have you installed the google repo in Mandriva, or do they have it in their repo?

I have Iron in Mandriva
thanks to our MiB friends no chrome. So it would be the MiB 64 bit repo.

I go get it from the site. They do .rpm and .deb now; noarch.
The problem is, the last three releases have depended on something not in any repos. I'll explain that further in another thread sometime.

Looks like Chromium just decided to be moody after a logout it all works again

..And now it hangs or freezes again. This Chromium version is not very stable.

I've also been prone to not using it lately, and with Iron's code being based on it... also asks for a dependency that's ludicrous these days, and not in any repos I've found.
Yeah, Chrome/Chromium both crash a lot here.

The crashing issue seems to have been fixed in the latest Chrome/Chromium (google repos, v. google-chrome-stable-26.0.1410.63-192696). I also now have Iron working so highly recommend it, the latest
25.0.1400.0 Stable for Linux tar.gz download here.
Try the tar.gz, extracted to /home and /usr/local both, if it works both ways, get the .rpm or .deb download from the same link, and install with one of them. Use the tar.gz to test first.
