Here's a question I couldn't find anything about even after an hour of Googling. It used to be I could right click broken images like they were regular images, and select "open image in new tab" or "open image in new window". Some recent Chrome update broke that, and now I can no longer right click on broken images. I can still use inspect element to get the URL of the broken images. Is anyone else having this problem? Can it be fixed?

Anyone else having issues with Youtube Center? It's turned itself off and I can't re-enable it for some reason. I have the developer build of the extension, so I have the "developer mode" check box ticked off, but it won't let me turn it back on. I have other extensions which aren't from the Chrome store, but they're all still working okay. The current build of Youtube Center works fine in Firefox, so it's not like it's out of date, either.

I'm pretty sure this is just me, but I've had problems every so often with the extension version of YouTube Center. I started using the userscript version way back (via Tampermonkey) and have never had a single problem since, from keeping it up to date to actual functionality.

(crx files are just zip files, unzip them and then use the "load unpacked extension" button on the extension page to install them) I'm guessing the off-store ones that still work for you were installed unpacked to begin with?

Arrgh, why does Google have to do this poo poo? I really liked the cool nerd company that was all about experimentation and innovation. Everyone wants to be Apple nowadays, "Your user experience will be what we tell you it is  " and all that.Oh well, your tip to unpack it first worked a treat. Wonder how long that'll last? crestfallen - I used to use the tampermonkey script but it had the incredibly annoying habit, for me at least, or forgetting all of my settings every time it updated. But if Google cracks down further on wrong-think extensions, I'll just have to go back to it, I suppose.

This should cut back on that at the expense of us nerds having a harder, but not impossible, time installing what we want.

People claim this is a ploy to further push the "walled garden", but there appears to be a legitimate security threat, and frankly I would be unsurprised if the number of malicious extension installs exceeded the number of out-of-store, non-malicious ones. Gorilla Salad posted:I really liked the cool nerd company that was all about experimentation and innovation. ... Wonder how long that'll last? That seems to be a pretty core philosophy of the folks on the Chrome team and it's unlikely to change. The question is, what amount of user action (inconvenience) meets the threshold of separating users who-know-what-they're-getting-into from those being mislead. They don't really know that amount is, but apparently requiring users to be on dev channel to use out-of-store extensions was too little.

Is there an actually good, not crashy extension yet for giving support for tab grouping a la Firefox's ctrl-shift-E thing (panorama I think)? The answer used to be the TabSugar extension, far as I know, but it hasn't been developed for a long time near as i can see. TooManyTabs is the closest thing I've seen, but isn't really what I was going for.

The best thing I've done for managing groups of tabs is to group them by window. It's not great, but it's the best I've come up with.

Thermopyle posted:I'm fairly sure the general consensus is that google web app design has gotten drastically better. eh, from a usability standpoint it's all pretty middling; none of it's really best in class. they've moved things around a lot and made stuff look a bit nicer but it's not really 'better.' youtube is about the same or less usable than it was in 2012, gmail's still... fine, search is the same apart from the knowledge graph cards (genuinely good feature ngl) and pointlessly hiding all the other services in a submenu, google+ is still weird irritating and derelict etc. android looks a lot nicer than it did which seems to have percolated through to most of their services though they're not exactly consistent; the black top bar with the different services on it that they deprecated ages ago only just disappeared for me; now mostly replaced with the nearly-but-not-quite-consistent top bar. the technical improvements to maps have drastically improved it despite some weird design decisions like hiding some direction mode icons behind an overflow menu when the UI element they are displayed on is big enough to fit all of them. chrome has always had a dece UI and seems to have been exempt from most of the UI fuckery that goes on in their other properties; that's obviously no longer the case. the extension support has always been pretty nice as well. shame that the sheer amount of RAM and CPU time it eats is in no way proportional to its real world speed; feels slower than safari and ff in page loading, though the UI (tabs, menus etc. scrolling perf excepted) seems to hold up better and not descend into jank. would be nice if such a notorious system hog didn't so desperately want to run 24/7 though. one thing i will give chrome (desktop chrome, not 'slower than the unbranded AOSP browser it replaces' mobile chrome) is that it's just about the only google product where you can palpably feel a lot of effort has gone into making the UI responsive and feel nice to use - ripping tabs out of the top bar into separate windows feels good. safari comes close but it's nowhere near as responsive.

I find myself copying links frequently from the browser but I keep running into issues where the longer links are shortened and I need to right click copy shortcut instead of just ctrl+c from the keyboard. Is there a chrome extension that will automatically parse the shortened link into the clipboard?

Forums user Anarchist Mae has written a great script for anyone who views the image threads. It automatically looks for gifv and webm versions of images which means no more opening a page with a dozen 50MB gifs and killing your computer. Something Awful Image Fixes 1.3.0 It also does other things, like resize thumbnails, too.

I tend to change my main browser every couple of years, so I'm back on Chrome now and a couple of things are driving me nuts  1) Bookmarks Scanning the last couple of pages, sounds like this bookmark manager is new? It seems they decided to remove every bookmark feature that's been invented in the last decade, since Google still returns cached support pages for bookmarks features that don't exist anymore (e.g. labels). Is there a goon-consensus extension for better bookmark handling? I would like to have tags/labels. I would also like the ability to use the bookmark bar (the little one you can put below the main URL/controls bar) as kind of a dashboard/speed-dial for bookmarks, tags, and folders, where those items still truly reside in the main bookmark hierarchy that's tucked away in the bookmark menu/manager. 2) Window Placement On Windows, I really like the Aero Snap gesture that "maximizes" a window vertically over the desktop while keeping its left and right sides the same size, and the gesture that resizes and places a window over the entire left or right half of the desktop. Chrome doesn't place new windows very well when in this state: it spawns a window of the same size, and places it to the right and down from the first one. Compare this to Firefox, which when a window is "maximized" vertically like this it will spawn a same-sized window but places it only to the right of the first one (not down at all), unless the first window is encroaching upon the right side of the desktop, in which case it will spawn the new window slightly to the left. For me this is one of those tiny, minor things that produces an outsized  reaction in my brain. Is there any way to alter this behavior? I've tried searching the Web and the extension site a bit but haven't found anything. It doesn't help that strings like "chrome windows window placement" tend to not work well semantically in search engines

I posted Dewey Bookmarks earlier, its not perfect, and its actually pretty similar to the new stock bookmarks. One feature I have always wanted is domain specific bookmarks. If I'm on something awful, it would be cool to have a bookmarks bar that only shows bookmarks for that site. Or a really fast way to search my bookmarks only for that current domain.

I don't think tags exist in it, but it's really handy as a quick tree popup and I could never go back to a bookmarks bar after using it. You could probably combine it with a more robust bookmarks manager.

We had a bit of discussion earlier about tab management. I usually group tabs by window, and I just came across this extension called Spaces which lets you name windows, save all the tabs in a window, and switch between them via a hotkey. Works pretty well in my testing this afternoon.

Thermopyle posted:Why don't you try it out and see? I did, it's pretty much only similar in that you can keep your tabs from your previous session, but there doesn't seem to be a way to open automatically, just one by one and only if you click it which opens the new tab THEN go back to the Spaces window/tab to open another. Tried it for a little bit and let it go. For me. OneTab works a lot better.
