Unfortunately for those of you waiting on NoScript, there is another issue preventing good content blocking support. Basically, extensions have the ability to modify page contents, but an extension can't stop a page from loading in order for the extension to check user settings. Therefore, you wouldn't be able to use a site whitelist or blacklist for embedded scripts. A solution hasn't been implemented because any solution would slow down the browser. The current proposal is to allow extensions to pause page loading and wait a fixed time for the extension to load settings. That way, you can still have extensions like NoScript without making slowdowns more prevalent and harder to diagnose. Unfortunately, that was proposed a month ago, and no work has been done on the issue, so it will be a while before true flexible content blocking happens.

In case you're not following the QCS thread, there's a better extension to fix timgs and text alignment in Chrome. It apparently fixes timgs that users have incorrectly wrapped in URLs as well.

Chrome normally starts a lot of processes, so that if one page/plugin stops working, it doesn't take the whole browser down. If you have a lot of extensions or plugins, that could cause the issue. Try starting an Incognito window and see if that helps.

fyallm posted:[...] The problem is Websense has to use a proxy to filter traffic. The way it's implemented is insecure, and you should avoid sending and receiving any private information through it. Unless you're needing to access HTTPS sites for your job through Websense (which is still insecure, and your work should configure the gateway to bypass the filter for those sites), you shouldn't use HTTPS sites from work. The reason Chrome isn't allowing you to ignore the message is because Google uses HTTP Strict Transport Security, a feature Chrome and Firefox support but IE doesn't. Chrome has a list of sites hard-coded that always use HTTPS, and any other site can specify, after the first connection you make, that all future connections have to use HTTPS as well. chrome://net-internals/#hsts will let you remove the sites that aren't hard-coded from the list. Unfortunately, all of Google's own sites are hard-coded. If you really, really need to use these sites, and you really, really don't care if your boss can read your e-mails or post goatse on your Facebook, you can install the certificate or have the person in charge of the Websense server install the certificate for you. Installing it yourself means you can't actually tell it's the Websense server you're getting the certificate from, though. If you really don't care:

Chrome doesn't use DirectWrite on Windows 7, which has improved font smoothing. The problem is DirectWrite doesn't work well with the sandboxing Chrome uses. There's a bug that's tracking the problem.

Stare-Out posted:Chrome 23 changed something about file associations; before I could open certain media files (.mp4 for instance) in-browser which had a pretty handy video player and I'd use that for a lot of sites that had lovely flash players (Gametrailers) but with 23 the browser player won't open but instead prompts me to download the .mp4 itself. There's no option anywhere in Chrome to set it to always open .mp4 files in-browser. Is there any way around this? Does it happen for every video? I tried this link, and it worked fine for me. Dragging and dropping still works as well. If it's not every video, it's probably because the server is sending the wrong file type to Chrome.

Stare-Out posted:Huh, that one works exactly as it did before. I thought it might just be Gametrailers but the issue came up after I updated Chrome, and Gametrailers don't have draggable links to the video files for some reason, nor can you copy the URL either, it just goes straight to the download option after you click it unlike before. Actually, Chrome is working like it should be. I checked Gametrailers using Wireshark, and it looks like whenever you click the Download button, the download server is sending the header "Content-Disposition: attachment". That prevents the browser from opening the file directly and instead causes it to ask you to save it. I don't know why Chrome was letting you open it directly before, but if it was receiving that header, it shouldn't have done so. The only way to change that would be with a custom extension.

Why does Chrome on Android take up so much goddamn memory? On a Nook HD Plus, it pretty much immediately crashes all my background apps, then after 15 minutes, crashes itself. Firefox on the same device has no such problem, but I can't use hover-and-click menus like the superforum menu on this site, which is pretty annoying.

Alternatively, just set the encoding manually. The menu is just under Tools. Chances are changing it to UTF-8 from Western or vice versa will fix it.

Extensions can still be installed through Group Policy. On Windows, all you have to do is import one value into the registry; on Linux, you create a three-line file in a directory in /etc. The extension's developer would tell you what to put in there. If you don't want to bother with that, you can unzip the crx file (you may have to hex edit the header off up to and excluding the "PK") and click "Load Unpacked Extension" with developer mode enabled, but you'll lose auto-updates that way.

What web sites are you using it on? If you're willing to muck around with Group Policy, you can install YouTube Options, which claims to support several major sites. It also makes YouTube not suck as much, so that's a plus.

crestfallen posted:Is it just the affiliate ads for HoverZoom, or did they find something else? You can turn the ads off in the options. There's also an option to turn off some sort of data collection. Until sometime in June, any extensions that were in the Chrome store before the new extension policy went into place can be sold off to adware companies and updated without your knowledge to include ad-spawning code. After June, the Web Store policy will effectively prohibit adware in all extensions, and it already prohibits it in new extensions.

YouTube Options hasn't worked for me since the last YouTube update anyway. Also, I wouldn't be downloading videos off of YouTube if they didn't force DASH down people's throats; half the time videos won't play, and the other half they only play 3/4 of the way through then die. gently caress both Spoi and Google. I'm just opening up Firefox for any YouTube links at this point, since at least some of those YouTube extensions don't suck, and I'm switching off of Chrome entirely once Firefox gets Electrolysis working.

MrMoo posted:Aren't plugins sandbox in their own processes so the container browser bit size is irrelevant? Last I checked, IE 64-bit has really strict requirements for plugins: they must have both 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs installed and support Enhanced Protected Mode (which requires changes to the code). In any case, Chrome isn't going to support NPAPI in a year at all, so there's no reason to implement it in 64 bits. At least, that's what they claim, but based on their track record, that's likely to change.
