All of my pinned apps disappeared, this included Chrome App Launcher itself. Afterwards, my Chrome apps stayed, but App Launcher is absolutely nowhere to be found. I uninstalled Chrome and reinstalled it. Still broken. I rebooted Windows (Windows 8.1). Chrome was still broken. I disabled all extensions and have never touched ://flags but App Launcher just refuses to open. When I was reinstalling my extensions, I noticed it would open up fine when the extension was installed but once I interacted with it in any way, the icon disappeared and won't come back. http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topicsearch/Chrome$20App$20Launcher/chrome/mglMDjKpL_Q This is pretty much the exact problem I'm having but it doesn't seem Google is paying much attention. The funny part is, my laptop running the same version, OS, and browser channel is having absolutely no problems. Got it fixed. Somehow Chrome Stable automatically uninstalling Chrome Beta while it was running caused the extensions to corrupt. I had to completely uninstall, not let extensions sync, and reinstall every extension one by one. Looks to work just fine now.

My version of Chrome was, for some reason, not actually getting updates and that's why it wasn't like anyone else's... I had to uninstall and reinstall the current version and it finally changed over. However, it also broke Chrome App Launcher and I spent an hour fixing it. So far, the changes are kind of odd, but I'm willing to give it a shot...for a little bit.

http://www.theverge.com/2013/10/5/4806562/google-building-chrome-os-into-windows-8 Looks like Google might be putting ChromeOS directly into Windows 8. Personally, I've always wanted a Chromebook. This sounds really awesome and I hope they do this.

Michael Scott posted:YouTube comments are horrible now (as if they ever were better). How come clicking "in reply to xxxx" simply reloads the page instead of showing the replied-to comment like it used to? It seems broken.. I just watched a decent video on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojMWTAeBtrk I don't agree with all of the points (especially the "Facebook clone" part) but whatever. He's got some good points none the less.

withak posted:It looks like tabs that make noise now get a little blinking speaker icon next to their title so when some rear end in a top hat website autoplays a loud video in a background tab then you can kill it ASAP. This is in the beta I tried today. Also, you can go into Windows 8 Mode if you're using 8 and it'll basically give you Chrome OS inside of Windows. But it's broken at the moment because I'm having an issue where it's all locked up and weird on my laptop so I revered back to stable. It'll be interesting to see how it is when it comes to stable.

Mr. Gravy posted:Looks like they've known about it since October 4th. This combined with the width of the dropdown is kinda making me wonder about where the UI is headed. It's probably headed towards something like Chrome OS. The new beta of Chrome has the Chrome OS like thing built in if you go into Windows 8 Mode.

X-post from the Android OS thread. I suppose this counts as both Chrome and Android so... http://chrome.blogspot.com/2014/02/get-notifications-from-google-now-in.html Chrome Dev Channel for computers now has Google Now integrated. Google has confirmed that it will be in the Beta Channel of Chrome for Desktop. I like how it claims you'd get a notification for when your Chromecast shipped...it's never, ever reminded me about shipping. Not once. Maybe this will come with new Now cards for Android.

JoltSpree posted:I really don't get it because you can just type something you want to search for into the address bar and it'll automatically do a Google search for you. It's literally right there. Why do I have to have another Google search that takes up half the drat page? They did this a while ago because of some users of Chrome not understanding that you don't have to go to Google.com if you're on Chrome, I believe. So they just came up with this. It might just be temporary for a while. However, it's been around for a while...

Sir Unimaginative posted:As far as I can tell Chrome 64-bit doesn't work with 32-bit plug-ins. (Granted I don't exactly have a big sample size, just a PDF plugin (since Google's is kinda crap) and Unity Player, but still.) I'm not sure which of my plugins are 32-bit and which aren't, but when I was on the Dev build, it seemed to work fine with all plugins. Though it also seemed to enjoy using all 8GB of my RAM and made my computer unresponsive so I went back to 32-bit.

SurgicalOntologist posted:On one of my computers (running Ubuntu), Chrome is no longer saving sessions. It used to be that I would get the "restore last session" button if I ever shut down before closing Chrome. What started to happen recently is that button shows up for a split second then the "new tab" page refreshes and it's gone. Any idea what's going on? I've had this happen to me on my Windows machines. I've just given up using Chrome's default stuff for that and just decided to install the FreshStart addon. It allows you to save sessions and restore them if things crash. I've got a similar extension for Firefox called Session Manager. Out of all things in both browsers, I'd say they've both failed at this out of the box for me. I find the addons work perfectly.

I updated Chrome to "36.0.1985.143 m" today and now every single YouTube video embedded into a thread here will autoplay. For example: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3291523&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=122 All three YouTube videos just play simultaneously at the same time...it's very jarring and loud. is there a fix?

beejay posted:According to Lowtax, it is a change that Youtube made. Apparently it's the Chromecast extension. There's supposed to be an update to it today but people have been throwing complaints at Google who promptly closed them saying that the fix will be rolling out today. I've had it happen on every other site now too that embeds YouTube. Only way to fix it in the mean time is to apparently uninstall the Chromecast extension, restart the PC (as apparently restarting Chrome isn't enough), and just use it that way until the extension gets an update.

Is HTTPS Switchboard better on memory than AdBlock Plus too or should I just go with uBlock? I'm assuming that HTTPS Switchboard does the exact same thing as uBlock just offers a lot more fine tuning controls.

I certainly haven't seen any performance differences between them. I have both installed but uBlock on disable to test HTTP Switchboard...I can see where one probably wouldn't use all of those features anyway. I'll give uBlock a try later this week and see how that goes.

Che Delilas posted:People working on the forums have been loving with the fonts all the time recently. First they tried Noto Sans, which was nasty, then Open Sans, and right now it's something called 'Roboto' sans-serif, or something. The "best" part is that some of this poo poo only looks okay with DirectWrite enabled and some of it only looks okay with it disabled and so I have to keep loving with my goddamn flags. Roboto is Google's Android font. Wonder if they'll actually keep using it.

It even does it if you do "Save As" or drag and drop. It's really loving annoying as apparently only Chrome can open it.

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.
