Was noticing that after a particular update on Chrome (number 37) that my popup windows from the Sitecore Content editor admin were not working.
Examined the js being called and tracked it down to Chrome depreciating showModelDialog API in July 2014. Mind you, this is a good thing and addresses one of my pet peeves with Sitecore (and not just Chrome). That being, when you open some modal windows, you loose access to other tabs in your browser as Sitecore uses the poorly implemented showModalDialog API to freeze everything.
{Note}Once I passed update 39 on Chrome the following did not work.
To fix this you can enable EnableDeprecatedWebPlatformFeatures .
In updated versions of Sitecore this is no longer an issue but for someone stuck on a 7.1 it looks like the only optionwould be to use a browser that still allows showModaliDialog
