Martytoof posted:Is ChromiumOS stable enough for daily use as a mom-PC? I'm basically looking for a low cost alternative to buying her a Mac. She has a Windows machine right now whose disk died, but I was fielding nearly daily questions about how to do what on it. She's just not a computer person, god bless her. We've been using Chromebooks at school and it's been going relatively well. Imagine the worst user base ever, then make it slightly dumber, that's our teachers. Other than physically sitting on the device, or picking it up by the screen, we've had no problems. We are able to manage software installs via the Google management console, since we have a Google for education account, so we can avoid installing 800 games and toolbars and other junk that slows them down. You may want to look into getting a 10-user Google for business account so you can do the same for your mom.

Figured out my problem with Chrome taking a long time before letting me open a website. Turns out Tampermonkey was lagging it for some reason. Unfortunately, I have a few scripts I'd like to run on a few sites, suggestions for getting those scripts to work?

In my experience, nothing beats Tampermonkey for scripts like that in Chrome.

So I apparently missed the memo on Google taking Chrome Sync away from the free apps accounts. About a month previous I changed my password and that is when I started having all my sync issues. At frist it would allow me to connect my account and would sync but after a few minutes it would error out. Eventually over the course of trying everything I could think of or find on the internet to try it stopped recognizing my account information all together. I tried upgrading to the business account figuring that would solve my problems. At first it worked, and I was happy, although not happy about potentially having to pay $100 a year for my two email accounts. Then I got the dreaded exclamation show up, so I signed back in. I had to do this multiple times till eventually it stopped recognizing my account again. So I am right back to where I started but now with the potential to cost me $100. I downgraded my account and figured I would just have to manage my bookmarks and all that stuff manually. I do have a few older @gmail.com accounts, would there be any harm in using one of those for chrome sync. I really don't like the idea of mixing information between accounts, so I have been hesitant to try.

The only sync issues were when sync functionality was added to Apps accounts properly causing a conflict with early usage that would sync to a non-Apps account profile. Some colossal mess where you need to delete the non-Apps profile and re-sync to the Apps account and then continue as normal. Make sense? Doesn't really to me.

Hello. My Chrome has two flash add-ons-Chromes native one, and Adobe's. I disable one for YouTube, but then other website's flash players don't work, and then I reverse which Flash Add-on I have turned on, and the non-YT sites work fine, but YouTube is now broken. On top of this, is seems that whenever Chrome gets updated or I restart it, both stupid Flashes are automatically turned on. Does anyone else share this problem? I thought Google would have fixed this bullshit by now.

This is kind of a ridiculous thing but the black bar at the top of Google Search keeps disappearing on Sundays. It shows up on all other Google sites (Maps, G+, Calendar, etc.) and also in Firefox. On Chrome (27.0.1448.0) it has disappeared two Sundays in a row now, but was back during the week. This seems to affect all country domains. Is there a quick way to load without addons without manually disabling everything, so I can rule that out?

This seems to affect all country domains. Incognito windows by default will load without extensions. edit: and to clarify about the black bar thing, google will gradually roll out different UI updates or even test different ones on a random sample of users. A quick google shows this, and the newer builds of chrome canary/dev have the "Enable Instant extended API" flag (chrome://flags) which turns the URL bar into the google search bar and displays autocomplete results in their own box below the URL bar -- a neat trick to consolidate space.

I like the in-page autocomplete and the way that it makes Chrome and the Google homepage feel like they are both part of the same experience, but the lack of a menu bar is pretty jarring when you're used to using that to get to Maps, Plus, etc. They need to move it to the bottom or something if they're going to do this. Anyway  so thanks!

Has anyone found a workaround for the background-color of the screen between pages to not be set to white? I use/make dark themed styles for most of the sites I visit, and that just makes the white flash in between loading pages that much more blinding. Firefox doesn't have this issue

Shot in the dark here: I'm on my laptop at the client site on their wifi and they don't block IRC connections but they do flag them and hunt me down to get mad. I'm not using an IRC client. These are connection attempts coming from websites. I just got a notice this morning and I think it came from gifsound.com according to my history and their timestamp. Is there a way I can block IRC connections or ports or something in Chrome so I don't accidentally trigger this crap while I'm at work? I'm trying to be as safe as possible without just shutting the wifi off of my laptop.

Funny, I do something similar at work with the SA forums themselves. For some reason, the image domain 'fi.somethingawful.com' is flagged by my work as a a 'tasteless & offensive site' (but the 'forums' sub-domain is not). I had to add an entry to my hosts file for the images domain so IT doesn't come yelling at me every week. I'm afraqid this solution doesn't help you at all though, since I was able to block an entire domain, not just a specific port.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/smooth-gestures/lfkgmnnajiljnolcgolmmgnecgldgeld "Smooth Gestures" was updated recently with some shady poo poo that inserts ads (which can be disabled in the options, but only temporarily) and apparently embeds sites in a frame, which could have some security/privacy implications. It also introduced some bugs, making the "back" function not work reliably and breaking the extension's inline image zoom/hide functions that used to work fine. AND it broke the context menu on linux & mac, which can be "fixed" by another plugin from the developer that requires full computer data access permissions. Not suspicious at all, no. From what I can tell, there were concerns with this extension containing spyware back in 2011, but that appeared to have been resolved... until now. I've looked around, and there don't appear to be any alternative chrome extensions that handle gestures as well as this one (used to). I tried to revert to a copy of the previous version of the extension I'd backed up, but chrome just autoupdates over it with the new version. Is anyone aware of a more stable/secure fork of Smooth Gestures? It's kind of an essential extension, but I don't trust it anymore

I get The webpage at https://www.google.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. Error 15 (net::ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED): Unknown error. This and constant flash crashes is making me want to switch browsers.

So... has anyone ever figured out the "right click, save as... CRASH" issue? I never had this happen when I was running Windows 7 Pro, only when I upgraded to 8 is when this happened and it's giving me enough reason to switch browsers because it's annoying as gently caress when I have a lot of tabs open, try to save something, then Chrome shits itself and I lose all those tabs.

Is there a way to make Chrome ask me when to update itself? It's absolutely infuriating when all of a sudden everything grinds to a halt especially on my five year old crappy laptop without it telling me what's up. Googling showed me other people with the same problem, but I couldn't find any answers. My version is 26.0.1410.43 m.
