Chrome Silverlight

As many may have noticed, the recently released Google Chrome , running on the Webkit engine , unlike Apple Safari , to put it mildly, does not do well with Silverlight.

More precisely, the silverlight application is loaded into the browser, the first frame is displayed, and then it either freezes or is updated very slowly, for example, when scrolling through the page.

Now it turns out that the problem is that the plugin is not polled during the window redrawing process. In the end, the developers of chromium took an example from the safari developers and fixed the bug in the next build of chromium .

Now that needs to be done to make it work in Chrome itself.

1. Download and run the Google Chrome Channel Chooser .
2. Select the "Dev: Get Every Week ..." option
3. Click Update.
4. Click Close.
   
   
5. Launch Chrome and in the menu (where the wrench is) select the item “About Google Chrome Browser”.
   
   
6. Click "Update Now" and restart Chrome. For Windows Vista users: need SP1 and enabled UAC.

After that, you can go to your favorite site with Silverlight-content and see what happened.
