Chrome/Google Sync keeps loving up the order of my bookmark bar bookmarks. :( I am using the latest regular version.

Every two or three days I will open Chrome on one of three PCs it's installed on, and after just a few moments the bookmarks bar will completely re-order itself. I do not find, but have not paid strict attention to, problems in other bookmark folders, except for a few bookmarks that would reappear, doubled or tripled up, again and again.

How can I fix this huge frustration? Googling the issue comes up with far too many varied results.

Try supersorter. I use the autosorter thing.

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.

Yeah, that was one of the big selling point of chrome: every tab opens its own process, and so does every extension. That means if one goes bad and starts eating up your whole CPU or RAM, you can kill it without affecting any other tab or extension (99 times out of 100).

Anyone else have a problem with Chrome corrupting its certificates repeatedly?

I'm on the dev channel and have been for awhile.. A few days ago I started getting SSL warnings for drat near every website I went to.

I looked at Chrome's certificate store and noticed it said EVERY certificate and root authority was invalid.

I fixed it by deleting my Chrome profile and starting from scratch, but every time I do that, it lasts for maybe a day. Then it does right back to all certificates being invalid.

I've ran the usual checks for spyware/virus/rootkits, etc.. comes up clean. No other browser shows this behavior.

Could someone tell me the difference between Chrome's built-in cookie manager and Vanilla?

unruly
May 12, 2002

YES!!!
What it *appears* to do is clear cookies after the fact (either on a timer, or on a trigger). Google's built-in cookie management will actually prevent a cookie from being set if the cookie is not whitelisted. This also doesn't block things like the LocalStorage API from being used as a supercookie.

Also, by virtue of being an extension, Vanilla stores it's own whitelist of cookies. Therefore it doesn't share anything with Chrome itself.

TL;DR: Vanilla handles it as sort of 'after the fact' deletion, whereas Chrome stops a cookie being set before it happens.

I recommend using the built-in Chrome tools.

Edit: Clarity.

I've tried using Chrome to whitelist the few sites I'd like to allow cookies from but I can't seem to do it successfully. All I want is to allow my machine to remember my login info for GMail and SA, and either block everything else or at least get rid of everything when I close the session. It's only really an issue because I use 2-step verification with GMail and having to enter in a new passcode that's sent to my phone every time I want to check my email gets old fast. Is there a trick to getting Chrome to recognize all the addresses and cookies that might come from a certain domain? I have google.com listed under my exceptions, but it never seems to work with gmail...

I'll second this. Chrome's cookie handling is pretty lovely. No option to whitelist certain sites and "allow for session" the rest. As far as I can tell anyway.

Yes there is. You just set cookies to "allow for session" and then you add exceptions to whatever sites you want. When you set an exception, you can set either "allow", "only for session" or "block".

It's what I use, and I find that it works just fine for what I need.

You can also do wildcards, ala:

I have Google set for Session Only, but you can set it to 'Allow' and it'll keep your cookies.

I go to Facebook now without vanilla and the blocked cookie icon never appears. This means I can't whitelist this site without going into the settings and manually typing in the url. Is this just a bug?

edit: Yeah, this poo poo doesn't work at all. If I set it to temporarily accept cookies, it doesn't show a blocked cookie image which means the only way to whitelist is to actually go into the list and type in the url every single time. Additionally, setting it to only keep cookies for session doesn't seem to do anything since when I use my browser a bit on non-whitelisted sites, then restart the browser, all the cookies from those sites are retained.

edit2: Vanilla Cookie Manager fixes all these issues. That's the difference between it and the default management and I'm back to using it again. Which is too bad because Vanilla Cookie manager doesn't really do it right either since I have to manually enter sub-domains I want to whitelist. Firefox is still the only thing I've discovered that gets cookie management right.

This is the default, annoying, behavior of Safari, too. I think the idea is that if the window becomes 'buried' it's not immediately obvious to a new user how to find it again.

Does it go back, then just reloads the next page again? Probably just automatic redirection, which I don't think is an issue with the browser per se. I haven't had that happen often, but when it does happen, I hold the back button down, and select an earlier point that won't automatically redirect me.

The one thing that annoys me about chrome is how difficult it is to figure out what additions have been made in each version, and what they do. I end up having to look on Wikipedia or Google entries from the about :flags page. Would it kill them to throw up a tab with a change log and detailed explanations every time it updates?

I am a giant assfuck who needs to harden the fuck up.

Ever since Chrome 18 (64 bit, Linux) hit, my flash has been really wonky. On some sites it works perfectly, and some sites it doesn't work at all, and is just replaced by a black box. I googled it a bit, and it seems like it isn't just Chrome 18, that it comes up every now and then with new updates, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had the problem, and if anyone had a fix. I disabled and reenabled the plugin on chrome://plugins/ and that didn't seem to work.

FAKE EDIT: I went to chrome://plugins/ just now to make sure I had the right address for this post, and it seems like I have 2 versions of Flash:

Name: Shockwave Flash
Version: 10.1 r999. Gnash 0.8.10dev, the GNU SWF Player.
Location: /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
Type: NPAPI
MIME types:

application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash .swf

And then the new version 11.2

Location: /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
Type: NPAPI
MIME types:
MIME type Description File extensions
application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash .swf
application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player .spl


EDIT: I'm disabling the old version and will report back.

EDIT 2: Ok, it's definitely GNASH. Disabling it makes Chrome work just fine. I also have Chromium installed (long story..) and it of course only has GNASH, so the question still stands, it's just not nearly as big of a deal now.

EDIT 3: Seems like you can install flash on 64 bit Linux Chromium now. I couldn't do that when I first installed it (a while back), so looks like problem solved.

Something happened recently to my Chrome and I can't figure it out. I think it has something to do with my work's firewall or maybe websense. Whenever I try and go to some https websites chrome freaks out and gives me this error:

The site's security certificate is not trusted! You attempted to reach play.google.com, but the server presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted by your computer's operating system. This may mean that the server has generated its own security credentials, which Google Chrome cannot rely on for identity information, or an attacker may be trying to intercept your communications.
You cannot proceed because the website operator has requested heightened security for this domain.


If I use IE I can get to it no problem. But if I use chrome I get that error and the only button I can push is back. I use to have to use '-disable-ssl-false-start' in order to get to https sites but now that won't even work. Any ideas?

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:
  1. Click the X icon in the title bar to the left of the URL, then click "Certificate information"
  2. Check the Certification Path tab to see if there's more than one certificate. If so, click the top one, then click "View Certificate"
  3. On the Details tab, click "Copy to File..."
  4. Just click "Next" on everything, entering a file name when prompted, and click "Finish" at the summary screen
  5. Find the file, right-click it, and click "Install Certificate". Click "Next" once
  6. Choose the option "Place all certificates in the following store", then click "Browse..."
  7. Choose "Trusted Root Certification Authorities", then click "OK"
  8. Click "Next" and "Finish"

Fancy SA Forums does this, among other things, though it's a bit glitchy (sometimes it doesn't autogenerate the link to the bigger image, though you can still right click -> open image in view tab to see it). I can see about breaking it out into its own userscript, I guess.
