My Chrome Browser crashes a lot, especially when I open Gmail. This article help me to fix it:  "Aw, Snap!" - Google Chrome Help : "If the browser continues to display the "Aw, Snap!" message, your user profile may be corrupted." I find the folder, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\, but I had small trouble to rename the "default" folder, it says that another program is using one of the files in this folder.

The updating normally starts shortly after I open chrome, it's quite frustrating to wait for it to finish updating, even worse when I did know this feature. I only found out this after my firewall program asks me if I let Chrome out to the internet because it has been changed. This is said in the help document that Chrome use GoogleUpdate to check and install browser updates: When you choose to install Google Chrome, GoogleUpdate is first installed if you don't have it already.
