Does anyone know why Chrome will randomly snap the page to a certain position on some sites? I mostly see it on my Twitter timeline and in 4chan threads, I'll be scrolling and suddenly it'll snap back up to a post I had clicked on (I think). It makes Chrome almost unusable sometimes, like when it snaps every time I load a new timeline page on Twitter. Refreshing seems to clear it until it happens again.

Is there some way to make Chrome less likely to put multiple tabs in the same process? I just opened 24 tabs of one site, all of which were put in the same process and therefore ran like poo poo.

edit: and then all crashed because chrome x64 can't handle 1.8GB of memory usage, I guess

yes I do, for a short time
Chrome trying to put them all in one process is hindering this

Unfortunately process-per-tab does not actually give one process per tab, but instead one process per "group of script-connected tabs". Had the same problem as the default process-per-site-instance when I tested it

just spent half an hour fighting a windows 10 upgrade issue, so PRO TIP: if you upgrade to windows 10 and chrome suddenly starts displaying fonts in super bold or something, make sure you don't have garbage fonts using that name. I had to delete every instance of Helvetica Neue because Chrome thought Helvetica Neue Bold was the only weight available and refused to use normal variants.

(Firefox worked fine)

Is anyone seeing low quality image scaling on current Chrome? Large images being scaled down have much worse quality than Firefox for me.

Is it just me or is the non-muted autoplay blocking feature worthless? It routinely blocks YouTube, a site on which I constantly listen to things, but is allowing autoplay on random news sites, on which I never want to hear anything.

chrome 65 changed the color of tabs from #D9D9D9 to #CFCFCF
I recognize that this is a tiny change but I really dislike the new color; is there any way to change it myself?

The new design is virtually indistinguishable from the old one, just with rounded edges on things and a moved profile button. I can't comprehend what merits a strong opinion about the change one way or another.
I don't know about other platforms, but on Win10 it now uses your main theme color to style the tab bar. This means my tabs look like this:

which is loving ugly.

Google has proposed a change to Chrome's webRequest API that will permanently break uBlock Origin and similar adblockers, only permitting Adblock Plus-style adblockers with a limit of 30,000 filters. (My uBO install currently has >140,000 filters)

If you're using the Nano Defender extension (anti-anti-adblock), it's been sold to new developers and gorhill (uBlock dev) says it now qualifies as malware after today's update: https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore/issues/362#issuecomment-709428210

Try changing the Site Settings for the page* to Allow sound instead of "Automatic"

* hit the lock next to the URL to get a button to it, or Settings > Privacy and Security > Site Settings > go to the right site


no guarantee that will work but IIRC chrome's automatic autoplay block/allow stuff is basically incomprehensible and it might be affecting that

Just block the new Twitter font with these ublock filters: https://gist.github.com/foone/af8220cb1a3ef6edd3bd1e9f0a843c86
The font list is almost identical so it'll automatically use whatever it was using before.

If you mute Chrome (via the volume mixer) or the Gmail tab (via Chrome itself) does that sound still play? Easy way to check if it's Gmail making that noise and not like a desktop-notification-related sound or something

Anyone know how to get emoji to display in color in Chrome on Windows? They used to, but now they're in black and white. Firefox doesn't have this issue.

Using firefox, keeping ublock up to date and following

official advice is "do not use random custom filters" because youtube is updating their detection multiple times per day and the custom filters you posted are 3 months old

Holy poo poo it's so ugly

The specific thing I disabled was "Chrome Refresh 2023". Guess I need to actually find a new Chromium-like browser to use for non-Firefox things soon

Looks like Google screwed something up with Version 124.0.6367.61 (Official Build) (64-bit), because icons on tabs are now aligned to the top of the tab:



According to Reddit, it's because they're removing the old UI, and will be forcing everyone to use the new UI with the scrolling menus that EVERYONE hates.
They've inexplicably hotfixed this in under a week, 124.0.6367.79
Guess I don't need to figure out how to run two separate Firefox windows just yet
