According to some posters in this thread I made last month, Google Chrome's issues with GIF playback have been fixed via a patch released recently.

I can also confirm that the issue has apparently been addressed. I re-downloaded Chrome just now and GIFs are loading/playing without issue the moment I enter threads. No stutter, no slowing down of the entire browser, no CPU hogging. Try it out for yourself with these random GIFs:

Thank you, FireFox, but you are no longer needed.

*Some people may need to manually search for the update via 'About Google Chrome' which is accessible by clicking the menu bar (three lines at the top right of your screen)*

Seem good on my nexus 7

 

[methane47]

I'm on my phone does that count?

 

[Chance Hale]

Those gifs are still horrid for me. SP2

Edit: Just an auto update right? Didn't redownload the browser.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Will have to. Heck when I bet home.

 

[Twilight Gap]

opening this thread says otherwise

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Updating now.

 

[John Kowalski]

pretty ok over here

 

[LumpOfCole]

If this was also what affected New Opera, it's a week too late. Made the full migration to Firefox with Mouse Gesture and Speed Dial add-ons last week.

 

[Plywood]

Opening chrome right now to tell you whether you are a liar or truth teller.

 

[Lulubop]

What happened to the WebM revolution though?

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Works well for me now.

 

[Alienous]

Not for me.

Maybe I haven't updated yet?

 

[Plywood]

You're not lying OP.

You win this time.

 

[Nabs]

Not for me.

You guys have to make sure you're on the latest version. Go to "About Google Chrome" and let it update.

 

[Horsemama1956]

The latest beta is insanely fast for me.

 

[lednerg]

Go to Settings and hit About to update Chrome.

It updated me to 41.0.2272.101 m. Before I did, the three GIFs in this thread were sluggish; now they're fine.

 

[xxracerxx]

Fucking finally.

Time for a beer!

 

[Edag Plata]

I think it works. I relaunched and it wasn't bad...unless it remembers loading from before?

You win this time.

 

[richiek]

Still not working for me on my Macbook Pro.

 

[Corpekata]

Finally.

 

[strafer]

seems fine....for now anyway...

 

[Femmeworth]

Now the wait for them to fuck it up again.

 

[lovely ladies]

The refreshes seem faster. Might need more gifs on this page to test it more clearly.

 

[Alienous]

Yep, better.

 

[strafer]

what's the gif heaviest thread on gaf?

 

[Vashetti]

Now the wait for them to fuck it up again.

10, 9, 8,...

Go to 'About Google Chrome' and see if you have the latest update installed.

 

[UnluckyKate]

wow this page loaded and scrolled smoothly

 

[Floridian]

[Bad_Boy]

smooth as butter

 

[Heigic]

The conker thread crashed my Chrome yesterday though this thread was fine

 

[Cat Party]

Tell the funny pics thread I am on the way.

 

[Summer Haze]

what's the gif heaviest thread on gaf?

Try this.

wow this page loaded and scrolled smoothly

The whole browser seems to be a lot snappier for me too.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Not perfect, but better.

[EatinOlives]

Do you have to actually uninstall and redownload? Because I'm still having loading issues here.

 

[JackEtc]

Still makes the fans on my macbook spin waaaaay up. Slowly making the transition to Safari I think

 

[Aztechnology]

 

[strafer]

Try this.

oh shit, so smoooooth !

 

[Jacob]

I haven't had problems with GIFs on Chrome with either desktop or mobile in months. I feel for those who do though, it was really shitty for a while.

 

[Evolved1]

Fuckin finally....

 

[survivor]

Am I the only one who doesn't see the side scrollbar while the gifs are loading? It scrolls smoothly though so that's better.

 

[hohoXD123]

Oh, GIFs, how I have missed thee.

 

[Summer Haze]

Do you have to actually uninstall and redownload? Because I'm still having loading issues here.

I'm not sure. I re-downloaded it because I deleted it when I switched to FF.

Did you update via 'About Google Chrome'? If not, try that. And if that still doesn't work, then I'd reccomend re-downloading it.

 

[Claude Kenni]

For science.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Seems a lot better.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Yep, much better.
