So hopefully this question hasn't been covered before.
I use Google Chrome just about all the time, because it just runs so much faster and is mostly comparable to Firefox. However, it has some trouble with Giant Bomb. I can play the videos, but once they start, I can't access the little bar at the bottom with the time bar, full screen toggle and volume switch. It shows up when I hover my mouse, but I can't click on anything. However, sometimes it randomly works. Not sure why it does this, so I'm using Firefox with this site.
Any suggestions, or has anyone else discovered this? I have a feeling Adobe isn't fully supported on Chrome, but other sites work fine, and like I said, it sometimes (but rarely) works.
Google Chrome and Giant Bomb
I use Chrome, and it seems to work fine for watching video. I sometimes use it on my television and will zoom in on pages to read the text. If the page is zoomed in, I have the problems that you are talking about. If I zoom back out it works as normal again. I don't know if this is your issue, but maybe it will help
" My suggestion is to switch back to Firefox which is a much better web browser. "I'm using Firefox all the time and I do agree with you but Google Chrome is the fastest browser right now.
Google Chrome straight up stopped working on my computer. I consider it a good thing, because I think Safari is way better.
Since nobody said anything about it, if you have this problem then you've probably zoomed in on the giantbomb website somewhere. Press Ctrl+0 and it will reset the zoom lvl.

For me, videos are super stuttery on Chrome with only a single tab open, but when I open Firefox (130 tabs open right now, usually at least over 100), videos are smooth.
So yeah, basically I think Chrome sucks.

Also I have zero glitches or problems with Chrome, much more stable and faster than FF on my PC.

When I had the problem, double clicking just paused and unpaused. The default half volume was driving me crazy because it was quiet compared to the rest of the sound I was playing. : )

" @Atomasist said:I like em both, but I switched to Chrome simply because Firefox started to run realllllly slow on my computer. Like, would take minutes to start up, and minutes most times to load web pages. I have the quicker Chrome on my notebook because it doesn't have much ram, and putting it on this computer fixed the problem, even running faster now than Firefox was right at the beginning."

Here's what my screen looks like currently (Click here for full-size version). No tab manager as far as I know, just default Firefox tab options (except that opening a new tab puts the new tab all the way to the right, not immediately after the current tab, which is something they changed recently). I usually don't get around to viewing them all and have to clean them out every couple months or so. Last time I went on a mass tab purge was in, like, May, I think, and I was able to get it down to about 40 tabs or so.
I use Chrome and I don't have any problems with the site whatosever.

And Firefox is an unrealiable piece of shit.

GB Videos have stopped playing for me entirely in Chrome. I can click the big red play button, but the video won't load/stream from there. I've had to switch to Safari.
Every browser has pros and cons. I've stuck with Chrome because it synced a lot of my info automatically when I changed computers. I've started using Safri a little more since I'm now on Mac and it syncs a little more seemlessly with my iPhone.
