I've been getting some really weird issues that started recently. I'm running the stable version of Chrome on my Asus 1215n netbook. I want to say that it is some memory issue but I have no clue why its happening. Basically what will happen is when opening a new tab and loading a site, chrome will display another tab's previous site for a few seconds and then the correct site will load. For example, lets say I have one tab open, on Tab 1 I search google for something and go to a site from it. If I create Tab 2 and type in a site, it will show for a few seconds the google search page from tab 1 yet the tab title and address will be for the site I want to visit. Even just switching to other tabs after everything is loaded I will see a previous website for a tenth of a second. It seems to me that chrome is mixing up where it should be storing sites within the memory. I have had it happen where if I have like 5 tabs open, chrome will just refuse to display the proper page, hitting refresh or typing in another address does nothing. Chrome will say the new site has loaded properly but displays a previous site from another tab. I've removed chrome, reinstalled, disabled all addons and nothing seems to fix it for me.

I've been using Tabs Outliner for the past couple days, and I gotta say it's the best extension ever made.
I need to look in to seeing if I can hide the tabs on each Chrome window because I just use my always-open outline of tabs to switch and manage tabs.

Back in the thread about Google Reader shutting down where people were all like "what is rss? and why do it need it?" I was wondering how those people kept up with the websites that they were interested in. Based on those screenshots, I now see that they must do it by never closing a tab that they are interested in.

Hah! I actually was an intensive Reader user who now uses Tiny Tiny RSS. I also usually have 30-50 tabs open but they're never for the kind of stuff you'd use RSS for. Like now I've got three windows open, one with tabs opened from Tiny Tiny RSS for articles and information I want to look into more detail on, one with 12 tabs of reference information for a programming project, and one with 9 tabs of reference info for another programming project.

So why is this happening? It only happens in Chrome and only happens with that style of Flash video player. Youtube, Vimeo, and all other's I've encountered all run fine.

Is this also the Chromebook thread? I just ordered one with the Amazon used deal, and was wondering about the best way to dual boot Chrome OS and Ubuntu, if anyone has done it.

I'm attempting to manage two Tumblr blogs that aren't under the same account. For various reasons I'd like to keep the associated with different email addresses. I'm using an extension called Swap My Cookies that allows you to create profiles of different cookies and switch between them fairly quickly. The problem is it works for all cookies, and I'd like for it to work for just Tumblr. Otherwise other pages that I haven't logged into yet (like the forums) will break. I know I could just log into them again under the new profile, but before doing all of that I was wondering if there's an extension that will work the way I want it to.

I know this might not be ideal, but in case you didn't know you can open an Incognito window and it will use its own cookies as long as it's open. So you can log into account 1 in your normal window and account 2 in an incognito window, and they won't conflict

Does anyone know why I can't edit Facebook docs in Chrome anymore? E: I should mention that I've cleared all my history/cookies/etc. and in fact uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome and it still won't do it. It works fine on IE. I'm on Windows 8.

I desperately need help. The Chat for Google extension was my phone, I didn't do any call forwarding. But Google 'upgraded' it to the Hangouts extension and they seem to have removed the Google Voice functionality. I don't understand. I have not been able to find a way to downgrade. Please, someone help. I need to be able to use Google Voice outside of a tab again.

You can also call from within GMail. It gives you the old window but you have to pop it out yourself. It is annoying since I mostly used the GTalk calling feature as my primary phone.

I just installed VoiceMac to replace the Google Voice phone feature on OSX at least. Not sure what to do about the Chromebook and this does make me worry about Voice's viability.

So, I've been getting incoming call notifications...sometimes. It pops up a notification thingy saying something about Hangouts, the incoming number, and answer/reject buttons. Unfortunately, the few times it's appeared, it's then disappeared after just a few seconds before I get a chance to click it. So...maybe it's coming back with the Chrome extension.

Can anyone help me with a stupid but infuriating problem? When I click on a PDF link on a page, Chrome always brings up the Save As box and will not display it in the browser. I have tried enabling the built-in PDF reader and also installing Adobe Reader, enabling the Chrome plugin and setting the option from Reader to "Display PDFs in Browser". Nothing will stop Chrome from wanting to save the drat PDF instead of just showing it to me.

Download a PDF file, then when it is done, left click on the download icon at the bottom and select "always open this type of file" Now It should open any PDF link you click in that window without downloading it to a permanent location. To undo it go into Options>Under the Hood tab>Clear Auto Opening Settings. Found from here :> http://superuser.com/questions/219870/how-to-open-pdf-in-chromes-integrated-viewer-without-downloading-it

I'm guessing it's related to the server sending the wrong Media Type type, so Chrome doesn't know it's a file it can open itself. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf.html Try those PDF links on there, they open in another tab for me in Chrome Beta

Please, can anyone explain how to use google play as a music library on my chromebook. i have an external harddrive and i just want it to recognize my music folder so it can manage my collection. ive tried every combo of words and some poo poo called Music Alpha but its literally doing nothing. I just want to have it recognize the folder, imprt the music, and then manage it from there. If I have to manage it and play files from the file directory itself this poo poo is getting returned cause goddamn thats horrific Okposolypse fucked around with this message at 23:07 on May 19, 2013 |

What poo poo are you talking about when you say you're going to return something? The hard drive? What does that have to do with Google Play?

I just wanted a light laptop I could torrent music/movies from and poo poo, if i cant manage my files from the harddrive it kind of defeats the purpose I got it for. it appears you cant create a direct link from the harddrive to the googeplay app. I didnt see a "google" tag and figured this would be the most releveant thread, basically I just want it to recognize my harddrive and create a link to the music library. like i can play music from the harddrive, but I cant drag stuff into the library. do i have to put all my music on the cloud first from a different computer? or is there an app that will allow me to create that link?

The entire point of a chromebook is that everything is done via a web browser using the cloud. If that isn't your cup of tea you probably need to install Ubuntu or Linuxmint on it.

I dont know how to do coding at all but if its something that could be explained simply Id give it a shot if it allows for the HD to be used more traditionally.

Assuming your chromebook uses regular laptop hardware and not an Arm CPU it should be no different from installing any other operating system. Linuxmint is probably the most novice friendly Linux distro. If you have a dvd drive you just download it, whack it on a DVD and install, otherwise I'm pretty sure you can do it from a USB stick.

No DVD drive, but Ill look into this, gues its time to check out the linux thread. Thanks.

It's worth pointing out, (again assuming the chromebook isn't ARM based), you could always stick Windows on it. (But it will likely run like poo poo if it's one of those dirt cheap chromebooks)

Endymion FRS MK1 posted:How do you get it back? I lost mine when enabling some about :flags settings. Disabling them did nothing I actually uninstalled the dev build I was running and went with the current beta version to get the better looking app launcher icon back. That's how much the new one sucks. In the latest dev builds, I think it automatically puts the app launcher icon on your windows taskbar after you install a 'packaged app'. They removed the flag. Reverting back to the beta gives you the flag option back for the app launcher.
