I use Chrome on a 1440*900 monitor and while it's fine for most browsing, most text heavy sites like news articles and SA will end up with lots of text per line which makes it difficult to read. Zooming in is a partial solution, but at some point having gigantic text is kind of ridiculous, not to mention that since images zoom in as well you end up with broken tables everywhere. Is there any extension that will let me modify webpages on the fly to reduce/enlarge specific tables and objects? Or maybe even make the page think that that tab is rendering at a different resolution. Something like that little resize corner that text input boxes have would be perfect.

How does ublock origin websocket work? What's an example of a websocket ad that it blocks?

Can anyone explain in layman's terms why that works? I've never seen an ad so easily defeat my uBlock before.

They are delivered through a new internet protocol called WebSocket, not http. Because of an issue in Chrome, ublock origin can't filter those connections directly without its sister extension.

Is there a way to remove my theme color in windows 10 from the top bar, without using a chrome theme? Mine's a searing orange, which I like everywhere except when it's filling the top of my screen constantly.

When using chrome on my work laptop/home desktop i find that the screen frequently either flashes or goes completely white and then scrolls to the top/bottom of the page. At work now so I'm on windows 8.1 pro and Version 50.0.2661.102 m of chrome. My home desktop is on windows 7 and presumably the same version of chrome. Doesn't happen on my home laptop though. I've tried disabling hardware acceleration and changing it to windows 8.1 compatibility without any success. It seems fairly random on what websites it happens but it can happen all the time while on SA. I can't remember it happening while reading the Guardian's website The only extensions i've got are google docs/offline and uBlock

Sometimes chrome doesn't fully fullscreen youtube. It fullscreens but keeps the top address/bookmark bar. If I close the tab and reopen it that usually fixes but kind of a stupid pain. Any idea why? This is recent, last week or so? This is what youtube thinks is fullscreen. Elendil004 fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Jun 12, 2016 |

I'm not 100% but it seems likely that my problem was related to smooth scrolling and google have no idea whats going on. I just disabled it and installed an extension for it

I asked a version of this question a while back but I'll ask again. After I have played a game I can't get the taskbar too appear when I mouse over it in chrome. If I switch away from chrome to my desktop or to say firefox it works fine. I restart chrome and it goes away until I play a game again? I only use one monitor (an answer some one gave previously). Any ideas?

I have weird issue with chrome where middle clicking to open in a new tab does not always work. I bought a new mouse thinking the mouse was faulty, but it still does it. Middle click also works fine in video games, and it works in chrome when I hold it down for the drag scroll thing. It's like chrome is just dropping the input.

So i read a few pages and couldn't find an answer. The one thing I miss from Firefox is the clickable drop down address bar where it would have 10-15 of your most visited sites or most recently visited. Is there an extension for Chrome that can do this?

Jippa posted:Doesn't work for me, but cheers. The problem is that Chrome is set to "always on top" for some reason. Pressing F11 twice to go into/out of fullscreen mode should solve it but since it doesn't for you I suggest trying 2 more things: Restarting explorer.exe from taskmanager, kill explorer.exe and start it again from File->New task (Run...) menu in taskmanager, just type "explorer" and it will start. If that doesn't fix it you can download a "always on top" utility, it is usually used to set programs to always on top if they don't have that option built-in but it can also be used to remove this option from programs that have it set, in your case Chrome. I have not tried the always on top option myself but I have read others saying this solved their problems. You need a utility that can remove always on top setting, not only enable it. I found this one that supposedly works: http://www.savardsoftware.com/turbotop/

Is there any way of tweaking Chrome to work better across multiple displays with different DPI scaling? I'm using a 27" 4k monitor at 150% plus two old 24" 1920x1200s at 100% and I'm getting very blurry text rendering in Chrome on the two older screen (well not just Chrome but that's the app I'm using most frequently) If I either set the scaling on the two old screens to 150% or tick 'Disable display scaling on high DPI displays' Chrome looks fine but everything is massive. IE and Edge work fine either way but I'm not prepared to switch over.

Hello thread. First time caller, courtesy of Chrome hijack adware bullshit that has me stumped. Basically clicking a link on seemingly random pages will open a new tab with some ad, usually asking me to 'scan' or 'clean' my computer because it may be infected. Which, yes, it obviously is. Fuckfaces. Tools that previously helped aren't getting rid of it -- after reboot it comes back. Here is what AdwCleaner finds: And what JRT says: code:
Any thoughts? Should I go for the full reset?

You can try to remove it by throwing everything at it but it often takes a long time (having a bunch of different tools do full drive scans can be multiple hours). A reinstall is often less time consuming, just make sure any important files are backed up.

Which, if I'm honest, is really just the last push needed to cut my losses and build a new PC. This one's been around since Jan. 2010. That said, before I blow a ton of money: is there a go-to malware scanner and cleaner, or should I just go to the opsec thread? It doesn't have to be freeware. I don't think Adwcleaner and JRT are suddenly going to fix what they couldn't in my last 10 attempts.

I mean, a reformat doesn't cost you anything, and the time commitment is about as much as figuring out which mix of antimalware tools will half-clean your problem. How do you think you caught this malware in the first place? Have you been searching for free porn? Honestly, the go-to scanner is Windows Defender.

I was searching for free hot porn. Totally different thing! No clue how I could have gotten this. Haven't had a problem like this in... can't remember if I ever have, really. I'm not in the habit of clicking on random things online and the last thing I installed (new, not counting updates) was the connection software for my Suunto watch. Even if that were infected, it doesn't line up with when this poo poo started. Unless these things have incubation periods or something.

If you can't determine the install vector your only sane course of action is to flatten and reinstall; the root cause could be anything from a malicious extension to rootkit.
