At what point did the Google Play Music miniplayer app start requiring you to have an actual Google Play Music tab open in Chrome to work? That seems pretty useless.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:It looks like they've gotten rid of a lot of right click options on stuff, is this a thing I can revert? I couldn't find anything that worked that didn't look sketchy. I've had to resort to Firefox for that, where it's buried in the about :config stuff now instead of a preference.

Every time I close Chrome, it logs me out of everything - even though I've set it to sync, I've resynced, but for whatever reason it won't keep me logged in. This started last week when a Windows update came in, but otherwise I haven't changed anything - no new extensions, nothing. I'm the only person who uses this PC so it's annoying to have to relog in to everything every time I need to reboot or update Chrome, any ideas would be awesome.

If it's when you shut down / logout, I'd guess you were somehow using a roaming profile? That clears the local folder independent of anything else. If it's definitely when you exit chrome you have something clearing the cookies. If it's sporadic when still using it, then you aren't storing them at all. C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\UserData\Default\ is the default path, you can open this, verify they're being saved there, and then look into what is clearing them. Also chrome://settings/cookies and verify you haven't changed them to not store

When someone types certain emojis or unicode characters they display in Chrome like this:  I'm using Windows 7. Does anyone know why this would be? For reference, this is what they look like in Firefox:

Jewel Repetition posted:When someone types certain emojis or unicode characters they display in Chrome like this: Windows 7 itself supports UTF-16 (although I don't know how well it supports the tricks in play to support characters above U+FFFF), but whatever typeface you're using in Chrome and Firefox doesn't. I know Windows 10 does (I should hope so) but I don't know if Chrome and Firefox's default fonts do; I set up browsers to default to Noto when I can.

Is there anything that tells me what Chrome is waiting for? I'm not sure if it's extensions or normal internet but various pages on forums.somethingawful.com don't load. It just stays in 'waiting for data from forums.somethingawful.com'. Before, I narrowed it down to my Evernote extension by disabling extensions one-by-one but it's happening again and there has got to be a better way to find out why it's doing that..

Press ctrl-shift-i to open the console thing. Then go to the Timeline tab. Press ctrl-r to reload the page and have it record stuff. Once that is done click on the aggregated details tab at the bottom and you can see the different things that loaded, extensions, time taken, etc.

More and more websites have the terrible idea to simulate a smooth scrolling effect. I've got my smooth scrolling flag disabled in chrome, is there a plug in or setting or something that can kill off this unwanted menace when it comes through as part of the page's script?

Looking for an extension that will let me search a page for any matches on a pre-defined list, sort of a keywords detector. For example, let's say my pre-defined lists contains "apple" and "orange". I load a page with thousands of words, and if "apple" or "orange" are found, they will be highlighted (or some way of finding them easily).

Do you want to do this on every page you browse, or some specified set? The latter you can do with regex, the former I'm not so sure about.

This is probably the background service doing something wonky; the easiest remedy would be to cleanly uninstall, and reinstall? Your Google account will bring everything over so it's little hassle.

I installed a bunch of extensions in the past week, and suddenly when I click on NewEgg, MicrosoftStore, and other merchant links, they are getting momentarily intercepted by sites like "cheapito.com". I assume one of these extensions is skimming for referrals, but the annoying thing is it seems to redirect consistently, so it's making it very hard to narrow things down. It's only in Chrome. The stuff I've been running a while now: - AdBlock (not plus) - AlwaysSmile - CommentSave - FlashControl - The Great Suspender - HTTPS Everywhere The newer extensions I'm running are: - Hide My AdBlocker - Page Eraser - Removes Taboola - Shut Up - Word Replacer II Anything setting off any red flags for carrying redirection malware? Is anything depreciated or better handled by more established plugins so I can consolidate and reign these in?

How about drop Adblock and use uBlock Origin, which has the following as anti-adblock killer as a subscription option. Or you can use the script itself here if you are still enamored with Adblock.

When one of those "turn off your adblocker" things come up, click the uBlock icon in your toolbar, click the eyedropper in the resulting menu, and then mouse around the webpage until the offending adblock-blocker is highlighted and...block it. (You click it and then provided it is the page element you wanted, click "Create" in the window in the bottom right that shows you the code for the page element. You can use * as a wildcard. It's great.)

Does anyone know if there's a way to cross-sync my Chrome history/passwords with Firefox? I figure I'll try Firefox on Android for uBlock as well, but I rely on a lot of auto-fills from Chrome.

The whole reason it's called Origin is the original developer retired, gave the code away, didn't like the way the new developer was handling it, and unretired, thus prompting the name change.

Hello Chrome thread. I got a new laptop with 1080p display and I have to use 110% zoom to make sites comfortable to read. Problem is that I also use my laptop connected to 1680x1050 monitor a lot where 110% zoom is too big. Is there extension that automatically adjust zoom depending on desktop resolution? Can extensions even get that information? I found extension called Zoomy, but it's buggy and not very configurable.

Ctrl + + zooms from 100-110% Ctrl + - zooms from 110-100% Ctrl + 0 resets e: to be clear, the zoom just steps in 10% increments, I'm just saying you need to simply press those 2 shortcuts to toggle yourself.

Huh. I was sure it used to persist in the tab when I used to use it, but there must have been an extension I was using at the time which bound it. I'm unaware of an extension that will read your resolution and change zoom, you can however (win 8 & 10) set DPI per display, so you can simply boost the overall scaling of your small screen to a level you find comfortable. This will help you across all programs that use windows font scaling.
