Google admits Chrome causing new Macbook Air crashing

Many users facing problem in newly-launched Macbook Air like system crashes and freezing. Many felt that the issue was related to Chrome. Now Google has admitted that the Chrome browser was freezing the Macbook. 

Google reportedly told Gizmodo in a statement that it has found a "leak of graphics resources in the Chrome browser" that is causing kernel panic on the new Macbook Airs. However, the company said that the problem is restricted to new notebooks which have Intel HD 4000 graphics chip. 

Though the search giant stated that a kernel panic triggered this problem, it emphasised that such an action from an application was not feasible. Therefore, Google has filed a bug report with Apple to identify the actual issue behind the problem. Google spokesperson told Gizmodo, "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." 

Meanwhile, Google has temporarily disabled some of Chrome's GPU acceleration features on the new Macbook Air laptops via an auto-updated release (on June 28). The company added, "We anticipate further fixes in the coming days which will re-enable many or all of these features on this hardware."
