Shadowhand00 posted:Has anyone had the issue where Chrome's color management starts screwing up images to the point where pictures are just masses of black color? Chrome is basically doing an OJ effect: Yes, but only on videos from Youtube and twitch. Searching for similar issues gets me results with people having the opposite problem: their images are too white / gamma's set too high.

crestfallen posted:Right, I should clarify. That other extension just removed the download bar, and showed you your downloads in a popover when you clicked on the extension button. A little down-arrow progress bar would fill. My own question, though. Any suggestions for an extension that will help me gather links? I'll tell you what I imagine, you tell me how close I can get to it. I would like to browse a series of pages and maybe center click, maybe hold alt and click, on links. Those links go to a text file, in order. I am simply looking to gather links in order. No post processing, nothing, just gather the links for me, and it has to be links that I click not entire pages (plenty of extensions for this).

MC Fruit Stripe posted:I think part of the problem that people are having is, while you may have a specific use in mind, I think people are stuck on "why would you need this" and not what you can use. I can understand the use case, it's just a way of keeping your screen real estate clear while still having a way to check download progress. Currently, if you close the download bar there's no way to check progress unless you bring up a full extra tab for the downloads page. It hasn't been a problem for me in forever, if a download would take longer than ten minutes it's usually easier to find a torrent of it, but I can understand the annoyance. Don't have any suggestions though, sorry.

Are anyone else's Google accounts flipping out? I had to re-sign in from scratch on my Chromebook and phone, GMelius is popping up every 10 minutes asking me to sign in, MightyText isn't working, and there's a Google Play Services notification asking me to sign in (I think it's being triggered my MightyText but I can't tell), but even after doing so successfully it doesn't go away. Apparently they just rolled out some new 2FA messages but something is not working correctly.

Google made 2FA using a USB 'key' available to everyone, and it seems the upgrade hasn't been as clean as they hoped. ( https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/02/no-key-no-login-g-suite-admins-can-now-make-fido-security-keys-mandatory/ ) If you ever had anything like that turned on, you might need to redo your setting to get them to update correctly.

Is there any way to disable GIFV autoplay in Chrome? Chrome grinds to a halt whenever I open a page with numerous GIFVs (which happens frequently in PYF). Everything works fine if I manually stop playback for all GIFVs on the page, but I'd prefer to treat them like embedded videos in the first place. Googling just leads to an extension which claims to stop HTML5 playback, but does nothing to GIFVs.

Personally i like the way it looks now, much easier on my eyes for some weird reason. I do indeed find it kinda amusing seeing so many people on so many different websites getting all flustered over how a font has changed appearances. At work they're were 2 chaps having a good ol' yarn about it in the lunchroom.

Updating fonts is annoying as hell because many people have designed their sites specifically against how they look with that font. The appropriate response is to create a new font and make it the default, so that the old one is still around for those purposes. I agree it looks better, but theres a simple way to reduce unnecessary inconvenience here that they eschewed for no good reason other than spite. So, standard operating procedure.

I need help finding an extension, if it exists. I am looking for something that I can configure so that I can select text, right click it, and have it sent to a URL in a new tab. Much like how you can select anything, right click, and do a Google search. What I want to do is take a Zendesk ticket number, and have the extension put that at the end of a URL I give it, that will open that Zendesk ticket in a new tab. Does that make sense?

Since the update I've been seeing some blank squares randomly appearing while scrolling down a page, kind of if they were "placeholders" or something while the page is being fully loaded. And to be honest, is kind of bugging me. Is there something I can do to fix it?

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/04/report-google-will-add-an-ad-blocker-to-all-versions-of-chrome-web-browser/quote:The Wall Street Journal just dropped a shocker of a report: Google, the biggest Web advertising company in the world, is planning to build an ad blocker into Google Chrome, the world's most popular Web browser. The ad blocker will reportedly end up in the desktop and mobile versions of Chrome and would be switched on by default. This initially came as a surprise to me, but I can see why they would do this. I abandoned mobile Chrome do to the annoying ads I was seeing.

Because if they don't have an ad blocker, users will install one, or switch to a different browser with one. By building in their own ad blocker, they get to control it and can pull an ABP and decide to let "acceptable ads" (read: Google's ads) through. Just block the annoying poo poo, which Google's never really served up anyway, and users will more than likely be content with it.

I'm actually OK with this as long as the acceptable ads stay in line with what I consider acceptable. I only block ads because they make the web such a poo poo experience...I don't actually enjoy depriving sites of revenue.

Google will implement ad-blocking (except for their ads) and then disable the functions that allow 3rd party ad blockers in Chrome. At which point, I'll probably just move back to Firefox like I should have a long time ago. Really, I hope they do implement it so I can giggle from the sidelines as every sleazy ad house cries foul and tries to sue.

Or the EU will claim anti-trust again and Google will start 'asking the tough questions' about who the EU is 'really trying to protect'. Realistically? Ad- and script-blocking probably aren't going away until Google's ready to kill Chrome extensions altogether.

Any Acceptable Ads program that doesn't require ads to be pre-vetted or be a static image/video/HTML, and also be hosted entirely in the ad network, is worthless, because malicious ads will get past any heuristic through brute force if nothing else.

Google and others have made progress at perceptual ad recognition. In other words, instead of blacklisting domains or whatever like all the current ad blocking stuff, software is trained to recognize ads visually/textually. I wonder if that's what Google is looking at doing. Here's a proof-of-concept experimental extension to go along with this paper.

Version 58.0.3029.81 (64-bit, Windows). Still happens with all extensions disabled (even the stock Docs ones) and all flags reset to default. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Chrome has been unstable as hell for me lately and I can't for the life of me seem to figure out what the gently caress is wrong with it. It sometimes completely hangs and becomes unresponsive for seemingly no reason at all. Most times this is just for a few seconds here and there, but sometimes it totally hardlocks forcing me to terminate it. Trying to close it normally just brings up the Windows Troubleshooter that sits there indefinitely trying to find the issue. I can end all Chrome processes using Task Manager except for one which refuses to budge. Most times Chrome refuses to open again, and if it does it often crashes again or does weird poo poo like fail to load images. Restarting Windows seems to be the only reliable way to get it going again. The short hangs happen randomly during normal use, but the hard crashes usually happen if I try to use Chrome soon after waking my computer from sleep (I'd ballpark it having a 30-40% chance of occurring, so it's pretty common). Just now while testing it with the extensions/flags disabled it got real bad and I had to restart three times before I was able to get it up and running again. My router was taking a poo poo at the same time so maybe it's related to internet connectivity?

Who the gently caress knows if that actually "fixed" anything though because I could just be getting lucky. Sometimes it won't happen for days on end and then I get a particularly bad one like yesterday.

I never use Chrome on mobile because it can't block ads and this built in one sounds like it might block ads but not really because it'll still let some 'acceptable' ones though. TBH the main reason I don't use Firefox on desktop as well is it still freezes up more often than Chrome and can still take up to a minute to launch on my machine. Though I suppose it would boot as fast as Chrome if it was always running in the background too.
