Do you have an especially low-spec system where Chrome is running up against resource constraints?

I'm still having this issue on my work desktop, my tabs are constantly discarded (and I only have ~5 open at a time) early in the day before I've even loaded much else, so there does seem to be some weird glitch on Windows. No problems at all with my crappy 2gb chromebook.

I set up a new laptop for my mother (Lenovo L390 Yoga with some added RAM and a bigger SSD) and had a weird problem with Chrome. For some reason, it would refuse to actually render anything except the basic Chrome drop down menus and UI. The only page elements I could seem to make it render was an occasional empty bubble or box or bullet point. Absolutely no text or images. I figured it was some weird issue with DPI scaling, but even with it disabled and after a reboot, still nothing. I tried stable and dev branches and they both looked the same. I would try turning off hardware acceleration, but I can't even manage to find it because everything's just empty. There's other browsers and it's not a big deal because she's not exactly picky, but I'm very curious for myself what the hell is going on. Fresh install of windows, latest drivers, and everything else seems to work fine. Googling doesn't seem to return a similar problem with any search terms I can think of.

No, it wasn’t a virus; it was Chrome that stopped Macs from bootingquote:It would appear a bug in the Chrome update inadvertently attempted to modify parts of the macOS file system. When SIP was enabled—as it is by default—SIP worked as designed and prevented the change. When the protection was disabled, however, the file system was modified in a way that prevented Macs from rebooting. Specifically, according to the Chrome bug thread, the buggy Chrome update removed a crucial symbolic link pointing to the /var folder. quote:The reason so many users of the Avid Media Composer program were affected, Mac enterprise blog Mr. Macintosh reported, is that some users of the film-editing software must disable SIP when using third-party graphics cards. The publication has dubbed the /var-killing bug "varsectomy." Holy lol. OhFunny fucked around with this message at 13:57 on Sep 26, 2019 |

Ublock Origin dev builds have been rejected by the Google Chrome webstore. https://www.ghacks.net/2019/10/12/the-end-of-ublock-origin-for-google-chrome/ https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/745 It's a weird rejection that may be a mistake / automated testing nonsense, but Gorhill the ublock guy is already so pissed at google that he's not even going to argue about it. We'll see what happens when the next mainline release is pushed.

I've given Vivaldi a committed try over the past 3 weeks. And...I've grown to love it! I wasn't sold on it at first, but I came around and I won't be switching back to Chrome. Being based on Chromium, it's got the parts of Chrome that I most wanted to keep and added a lot of really nice stuff. My favorite feature is moving my tabs to the side and turning of tab previews. I just have a nice stack of tabs all down the left side of the window with actual readable titles.

With the latest update, after tab mute now the "close other tabs" option is gone as well. How do people survive without? "Close tabs to the right" seems much less useful, why did only that option survive.Thermopyle posted:I've given Vivaldi a committed try over the past 3 weeks. I'd love to use Vivaldi, but last time I tried, it didn't have the "Create shortcut" option Chrome/Chredge have that allows me to open my emails in its own window.

Harminoff posted:Can't say I've ever used close other tabs. Can't imagine browsing without - for me, the amount of tabs increases continually. And at some point, it gets to be too much and I close all of them but the current one. Dark mode has been in for a few stable versions now, but only enabled by default for select usergroups.

"Close tabs to the right" seems much less useful, why did only that option survive. Yeah, I use that option with Chrome for my gmail as well. Since Vivaldi doesn't seem to have it, I still just use the Gmail in its Chrome window.

has anyone had severe issues with watching videos in chrome 77? it seems now whenever i have several videos loaded in tabs it severely lags the video. both in terms of when its playing and it's ability to fetch/buffer segments ahead of it. i'm also having issues with my frame rate for games when i have chrome open as well. this was never an issue in 76. i even reinstalled video drivers which seem to help a little. in task manager for example it says the gpu process is using 1.4gb of ram. the tab that is taking up the most amount of memory is just a page with a gallery of videos but none of them are currently loaded. edit: seems like they're at 78 so i meant 78/77 respectively.

I switched to Firefox earlier this year and have been pretty happy with it. Not sure why I'm still subscribed to this thread, maybe because it's a bit like an extremely slow motion car crash with Google running what was one of their truly best products into the ground.

I made the switch the other day after the "close other tabs" removal; it's hard to believe that only 6% of people used that function, but whatever. Firefox feels kind of archaic and crufty but works well enough.

I have a "Video Title Adder" extension that I've been using on Chrome forever that adds a title + thumbnail for any YouTube URL. Really handy for deciding if you felt like clicking a vid link or not. It's now failed, and the URL is dead (just 404s when I try to find it in the webstore) and I can't find any reference to it being changed/fixed/replaced/killed. It apparently just got nuked from the internet, which sucks. Anyone have any idea?

There's a userscript called "youtube link title" if you have tampermonkey that does the same thing. However it doesn't work out of the box anymore because it relies on google api, and the api key that's hardcoded into the script expired or got deleted or something. See the firefox thread starting here.

I installed tampermonkey and grabbed the script and got as far as loading the Google project page that I'd have to decipher to figure out how to create the API and decide what parameters to associate with some silly-rear end placeholder project that doesn't actually mean anything. I realized that I'd have to figure out a bunch more poo poo, all just to know wtf someone's blind link is, and decided it's a few too many hoops for me at this point in time. Thanks! (sincerely), but...eh, gently caress it. Someone will either create a new extension or they won't. I'm lazy.

Is there a way to lock down chrome extensions so they can't make network requests? I want to use http://www.bumblebeesystems.com/wastenotime/#main but the permissions chrome extensions need are loving insane?

jiggerypokery posted:Is there a way to lock down chrome extensions so they can't make network requests? The problem is that the permissions system in Chrome isn't fine-grained enough. The "read and change data on all websites I visit" permission is required for that extension because that's the only permission they can ask for that lets them see the websites you visit. There is no "get url/name of websites I visit" permission. But, Google does pay attention to bad actors, it's just that it's basically impossible to automate the detection of "bad" extensions.

They have automated tools that try to detect nefarious behavior, and they remove / revoke extensions that do bad things. But it's a trust system and you shouldn't install extensions that you don't have reason to trust. There have been popular extensions where the author sold control to adware or malware fuckos. On the scale of how much it can gently caress you, a browser extension is closer to a piece of random software than a random website. I'd visit shadywebsite.com sooner than I'd run shadyprogram.exe if I had to choose. That particular extension I'd be ok trusting, it's been around since 2013.

I'm on Chrome 78(.0.3904.97), and it's no longer showing https or www in the address bar. Searching for how to make it show up again leads me to results saying to go to chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-scheme-and-subdomains or chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-trivial-subdomains, but neither of those exist for me. Is there any way to bring that back?
