前日跟大家報道道過Gizmodo網站編輯的MacBook Air出現了莫名奇妙的死機問題，日前Google也証實了問題出現在他們的Chrome瀏覽器上，並已暫時推出更新作修正。
問題在於Chrome啟動了GPU加速後，與MacBook Air內建的HD Graphics 4000發生硬件衝突，令Mac OS X的核心產生不穩定，從而出現了死機情況。被視為穩定性極高的Mac OS X也可以遇到軟件問題而令系統死機，可以見到Chrome的「強大之處」。而新的更新已經發送，主要是將GPU加速功能暫時停止，待日後解決了問題才再度更新。
近年Chrome瀏覽器的更新頻率極高，到現在已經去到版本21，但至今穩定性問題仍然存在，同樣情況在PC版上亦常出現。小編也是利用Chrome瀏覽器更新此網站，但遇然也會因Chrome出事而需要重寫部分文章，還有上不同討論區時流暢度及不上Firefox，當然可能也只是電腦上的軟硬件配合問題，不知道大家是否也有相同情況呢？希望Google不要再重量不重質，不斷更新的同時問題也不斷升級，確實會影響應用體驗。
“We have identified a leak of graphics resources in the Chrome browser related to the drawing of plugins on Mac OS X. Work is proceeding to find and fix the root cause of the leak.
The resource leak is causing a kernel panic on Mac hardware containing the Intel HD 4000 graphics chip (e.g. the new Macbook Airs). Radar bug number 11762608 has been filed with Apple regarding the kernel panics, since it should not be possible for an application to trigger such behavior.
While the root cause of the leak is being fixed, we are temporarily disabling some of Chrome’s GPU acceleration features on the affected hardware via an auto-updated release that went out this afternoon (Thursday June 28). We anticipate further fixes in the coming days which will re-enable many or all of these features on this hardware.”
