Chrome Glitch Nixes Offline Gmail
PrintA heads up to Chrome and Gmail users from CNET's Download Blog: if you have Chrome and Gmail configured for offline use, Chrome will crash once you log into Gmail. The problem affects all development versions of Chrome.
There’s a workaround. To keep Chrome on its feet with Gmail running you’ll have to disable the offline option. This requires your going to Options/Under the Hood and removing all of the Gmail-related entires under “Change Gear Settings.” Problem is, you’ll also be removing all of your Gmail offline content.
Another way around the problem, the Download Blog advises: update the browser to the current beta (which will work on the Windows, Linux, and Mac versions), or revert back to a stable build (only for Windows). Windows users can use the Google Chrome Channel Changer to switch versions.

I think the key point here is "development versions." Aren't development versions of software pretty much assumed to be bug-riddled until proven otherwise?

I call semi-shenanigans, or at least, in my situation. I have Offline enabled and all Gmail has done out of the ordinary is hang up on me a couple times today while loading, but that's about it. A quick refresh solved the problem.
