Chrome won't link

Question

Chrome won't link

I've used Chrome for the past couple of years. Suddenly in the past week or two, I can't click on any links or switch tabs. Cursor just stays as the plain old arrow. If I quit and restart it Chrome, it'll work for a few hours and then stop. If I open Safari, links, tabs, etc. will work without problem. I don't know if that will stop after a few hours because I haven't had Sarfai open for that long a session.

I've been using Chrome on my new machine since Christmas time without issue.

I stopped using Safari on my old machine because it was so **** slow. Beach balls all the time.
