I've been getting some really weird issues that started recently. I'm running the stable version of Chrome on my Asus 1215n netbook. I want to say that it is some memory issue but I have no clue why its happening.

Basically what will happen is when opening a new tab and loading a site, chrome will display another tab's previous site for a few seconds and then the correct site will load. For example, lets say I have one tab open, on Tab 1 I search google for something and go to a site from it. If I create Tab 2 and type in a site, it will show for a few seconds the google search page from tab 1 yet the tab title and address will be for the site I want to visit. Even just switching to other tabs after everything is loaded I will see a previous website for a tenth of a second. It seems to me that chrome is mixing up where it should be storing sites within the memory.

I have had it happen where if I have like 5 tabs open, chrome will just refuse to display the proper page, hitting refresh or typing in another address does nothing. Chrome will say the new site has loaded properly but displays a previous site from another tab.

I've removed chrome, reinstalled, disabled all addons and nothing seems to fix it for me.

I've been using Tabs Outliner for the past couple days, and I gotta say it's the best extension ever made.

  • It displays a tree of all open windows and tabs in those windows.
  • Automatically creates sub-nodes under tabs for tabs opened from a tab. In other words, if I Ctrl-Click a bunch of links on this page, they'll open "under" the listing for this page.
  • You can save windows/tabs across sessions.
  • Add notes to windows/tabs.
  • Other cool stuff.

I need to look in to seeing if I can hide the tabs on each Chrome window because I just use my always-open outline of tabs to switch and manage tabs.

Back in the thread about Google Reader shutting down where people were all like "what is rss? and why do it need it?" I was wondering how those people kept up with the websites that they were interested in. Based on those screenshots, I now see that they must do it by never closing a tab that they are interested in.

Hah!

I actually was an intensive Reader user who now uses Tiny Tiny RSS.

I also usually have 30-50 tabs open but they're never for the kind of stuff you'd use RSS for. Like now I've got three windows open, one with tabs opened from Tiny Tiny RSS for articles and information I want to look into more detail on, one with 12 tabs of reference information for a programming project, and one with 9 tabs of reference info for another programming project.

So why is this happening?



It only happens in Chrome and only happens with that style of Flash video player. Youtube, Vimeo, and all other's I've encountered all run fine.

Is this also the Chromebook thread? I just ordered one with the Amazon used deal, and was wondering about the best way to dual boot Chrome OS and Ubuntu, if anyone has done it.

The Legend


I'm attempting to manage two Tumblr blogs that aren't under the same account. For various reasons I'd like to keep the associated with different email addresses. I'm using an extension called Swap My Cookies that allows you to create profiles of different cookies and switch between them fairly quickly. The problem is it works for all cookies, and I'd like for it to work for just Tumblr. Otherwise other pages that I haven't logged into yet (like the forums) will break. I know I could just log into them again under the new profile, but before doing all of that I was wondering if there's an extension that will work the way I want it to.

I know this might not be ideal, but in case you didn't know you can open an Incognito window and it will use its own cookies as long as it's open. So you can log into account 1 in your normal window and account 2 in an incognito window, and they won't conflict

Does anyone know why I can't edit Facebook docs in Chrome anymore?

E: I should mention that I've cleared all my history/cookies/etc. and in fact uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome and it still won't do it. It works fine on IE. I'm on Windows 8.

Waah, please don't
suck me up!


I desperately need help.

The Chat for Google extension was my phone, I didn't do any call forwarding. But Google 'upgraded' it to the Hangouts extension and they seem to have removed the Google Voice functionality. I don't understand.

I have not been able to find a way to downgrade. Please, someone help. I need to be able to use Google Voice outside of a tab again.

Will this do what you're looking for?

You can also call from within GMail. It gives you the old window but you have to pop it out yourself. It is annoying since I mostly used the GTalk calling feature as my primary phone.

Unfortunately, the last I checked that doesn't ring on incoming calls.

This sucks.

Oh yeah, what the gently caress. I just opened up Chrome, and had the chat/Hangouts app load up to notice there's no more phone button. Hangouts is starting to suck now.

[edit]

This article details the issue: http://www.pocketables.com/2013/05/...uts-so-far.html

What the gently caress Google, give me this feature back.

I just installed VoiceMac to replace the Google Voice phone feature on OSX at least. Not sure what to do about the Chromebook and this does make me worry about Voice's viability.

So, I've been getting incoming call notifications...sometimes. It pops up a notification thingy saying something about Hangouts, the incoming number, and answer/reject buttons. Unfortunately, the few times it's appeared, it's then disappeared after just a few seconds before I get a chance to click it.

So...maybe it's coming back with the Chrome extension.

Is there still no way to remove the close tab X button on the tabs?

I've been besmirched!

This besmirchment will not stand!

Can anyone help me with a stupid but infuriating problem? When I click on a PDF link on a page, Chrome always brings up the Save As box and will not display it in the browser. I have tried enabling the built-in PDF reader and also installing Adobe Reader, enabling the Chrome plugin and setting the option from Reader to "Display PDFs in Browser". Nothing will stop Chrome from wanting to save the drat PDF instead of just showing it to me.
