I finally switched away from Firefox due to various problems but the lack of Tab Mix Plus in this is really annoying. Any way to get clicked links to a different domain than you're currently on to open in a new tab? Or at least just links on my bookmark bar? I'm sick of control clicking everything.

Is there a way to generate a Chrome user profile without running the browser?

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

Chrome, for no reason that I can figure out, suddenly has a problem loading anything by Google.

Google searches are now slow, google drive/docs has a 50/50 chance of loading at all, gmail is slow, youtube is slow, etc etc. Anything else I browse works just fine - the forums load fine, twitter works, etc etc - but not google.

Of course it works fine in firefox, but I don't want to go back to firefox.

And - of course - if I google this, it just takes me to people complaining about chrome being slow. So. Help?

Yes I'm aware but I want to change the default behavior, not use a different workaround.

You install any new extensions recently? This happened to me, but I wasn't able to use any Google pages at all, after I had installed some new extensions. I uninstalled the new ones, and it stopped happening. Sorry I don't remember the name of the extensions.

So Youtube freezes for around 5 seconds almost every time I go there. I know it's because of uBlock Origin but I don't know how to fix it. I think it has something to do with loading the subscription list because if I log out of my Youtube account then it doesn't freeze anymore. I removed uBLock Origin and tried Adblock Plus instead and the same thing happens.

Anyone else having this problem? Looking around it seems people on Firefox experience the same thing and it has something to do with easylist.

Haha, welcome to Chrome, good luck with that! ;)

Sorry but you should stick to Firefox (like I do). Chrome just overall much less customizable and extendable. Some things cannot be changed, although I don't know specifically if you can change click / Ctrl+click behavior.

Yeah that's what I ended up doing. Apparently this was in Chrome Toolbox awhile ago but was deprecated because "Google". I looked through the current API, figuring I could do it myself but it doesn't seem like its possible. I nuked my old Firefox profile which solved most of the performance issues and started out with a barebones addon set, much happier now. Shame because I just wanted to change a few odds and ends with Chrome but oh well.

I removed an extension I installed recently and it didn't fix it...but a day later it went back to working fine. So I don't even know.

The worst thing about chrome isn't the memory hogging, its the fact that downloading something opens up a big loving ugly bar right across the bottom of the screen. I actually yearn for the old popup you got for downloads in IE7 and below. Is there any way to change this behavior?

There is probably an extension or something. The download bar seems pretty unobtrusive to me tho.

There's a bug on MacOS at least that when the download bar disappears the window shrinks to the view size with the bar. That's weird and annoying.

I have no idea if this would work, but what about making a clean profile and then just copying its folder when needed?

This works too from what I've tested, but also seems a bit hacked together and there might be some effect from user-specific stuff I haven't seen yet. I'd rather just have it launch on logon.

Basically I'm wondering if there's a supported way to do this, like a built in switch or something, since Legacy Browser Support does not work without a preexisting cache.dat in the profile. If not, the workarounds are good enough.

I've just got the keyboard shortcuts to open the downloads window and then close that tab memorized. Cmd-Shift-J, Cmd-W, no more bar. I guess I should look into the extension though as that might make it less painful.

Anyone have unpredictable copy & paste in Chrome lately?

Many times I'll highlight some text and copy it and when I go to paste it the previous thing I copied on my clipboard is pasted.

This is on Windows 10 and is really frustrating.

EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC
The Ultrawide Video extension I have has been disabled by Chrome due to permission changes.

The changes are:

-Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.
-Display notifications.

Anyone know more about this? Kinda looks shady.

Yes. It doesn't seem to happen if I load in incognito, but I already cleared cache/cookies and played with extensions.

Sometimes the video will actually load up if I wait or bounce between tabs. I think it's something wrong with the HTML5 streaming.

What's the best Chrome App to record poo poo I have typed in to forms? I've used Comment Save over the years but it works like 25% of the time. You had one job! Just keylog like everything I type into Chrome fields no matter what, and have a way for my to comb through them later, that's it!

Edit: Alternatively if there's some kind of secure, reputable keylogger for my entire PC I'd go for that. Assuming like, a real US company backing it, or an established open-source project.

Yes, mine has been doing this something fierce for the last couple of days. When the video finally does play, the play/pause buttons flash and dance around. YT videos do the same thing on Edge, though.
