Michael Scott posted:It's really not, as reading on the computer screen is replacing and has replaced a lot of need for printed paper both in the workplace and for leisure. I think it was a joke about how most people use browsers for porn and FarmVille. And, for a joke in kind, shouldn't you be extolling the virtues of the printed word?

Martytoof posted:Don't know if there's a better thread for this, but does anyone know if Google did anything with authentication yesterday? I had to re-login to my Youtube apps on my Dell tablet, and Outlook this morning couldn't connect to my account. Entering my password didn't do much. I tried to troubleshoot it but in the end I clicked on some link to ... do something ... with "capcha" off of Google's site and it started working again Authentications aren't ever permanent, chances are that all of those expired at/around the same time as you first authenticated them near simultaneously.

obstipator posted:Anyone having issues with newtabs in chrome on mac? at work i got auto updated to v37 and just a few mins after a restart, opening new tabs become ridiculously unresponsive--over a minute of hanging for each new tab. existing tabs and tabs that have completed hanging work fine after that. I installed other poo poo on this comp today but im going crazy trying to figure out if its something I did or just another buggy stable release. It could be both, but it's been an issue in stable for a while (2-3mo). I've had local PDFs hang for 10 minutes w/o extensions.

Thermopyle posted:Just came across this sweet extension called Imgur to Gfycat. It replaces all imgur-hosted gifs, with gfycat hosted versions. If no one with the extension has seen the link, then it just displays the imgur gif, but it sends it to gfycat so all subsequent views for you and everyone else comes from gfycat. Isn't this roughly the worst possible time for such an extension, since imgur just started converting all gifs to their new homespun mp4 based format?

flatluigi posted:Gfycat uses WebMs and mp4s while imgur is only using mp4s - and imgur will only do the mp4s if people are specifically linking the gifv version, if I'm reading right. That's fair. On further thought, it sounds like they're only embedding them on a few sites and in all others/downloads serving a straight mp4 vid?

shadow puppet of a posted:Am I the only one that gets a non-responsive browser whenever its run snapped to a half the screen? I've tested my extensions, no problem there. I'm only using no autosrcoll, modified tab order and ublock origin anyway. I'm running windows 10 64 bit, and I think chrome is the standard web-installed 32 bit version.

Zero VGS posted:Uh, well you could do the same thing I did, install Word Replacer II and use it to replace "Vine Voices" and "Verified Purchase" with a long message in all caps or whatever you want so it stands out. Verified Purchase just means that Amazon has record of the transaction; without that it could be someone reviewing a product they bought elsewhere or a product they don't own at all. I do this, and there are some stock phrases that they ask you to use (in exchange for an honest review is a very common one.) If you look at the sentences there's almost always a phrase with honest review or honest opinion in it, but not everyone regulates the full sentence so you probably don't want to make a filter target too wide either.

Pivit posted:Did they recently change it so you can no longer disable the profile switcher by adding flags to your chrome shortcut? I used to have it turned off, now it's back and I can't get it to go away. Every option you use is getting disabled, every feature you couldn't want is becoming mandatory. Thanks, Google.

PBCrunch posted:I use Chrome on a bunch of computers (and on multiple operating systems on a couple of the PCs). At some point I installed an extension called Sumo Paint on my Chromebook (now running Windows 10 thanks to the Chrultrabook guy). I have clicked "Remove this extension" a hundred times, but it keeps coming back. Is there a way to force purge an (or all) extensions from all computers associated with a Google account? Scroll up. Amppelix posted:I'm also having a problem with uninstalled extensions coming back; however, my other computer I've logged on in is at my parents' house a very long way away. Is there anything I can do about the syncing without just straight up going there and messing with the settings? Or is it possible that it isn't even that, because I don't think anyone's logged onto my profile on that computer since I last did so? blunt posted:You can remotely de-authorize devices by going to https://security.google.com/settings/security/activity. If that doesn't work you can also reset sync at https://www.google.com/settings/chrome/sync so then your remote computer won't resync until you update the passphrase there. That's the best you're gonna get.

DemonMage posted:There's not because he's talking about copying from in a game client, not a web page. He seems to wants to be able to copy it from outside chrome and have that automatically open the page with no manual intervention which I'm pretty sure they don't allow. There are clipboard managers with scripting capabilities that can do that. Or the client itself can offer that capability. Set chrome to open links in new tabs instead of new windows, set chrome to be your default browser, set the clipboard manager to automatically open links when they're copied (possibly with an inclusion/exclusion of "Only from these programs")

Cugel the Clever posted:I maintain that no one who actually knows how to use a computer accidentally wiped an entered form on hitting backspace after doing it accidentally once or twice. The removal of the hotkey is all about holding the inexperienced user's hand so they don't walk themselves off a cliff. Which I don't have a problem with, except for the failure to give competent users a native fallback. Is it that hard to let the user customize? I've done it many times because I have more than one window active at any point or some poo poo rear end element took forever to load and escaped the focus from the text box on completion or chrome just doesn't realize that a text box is present because it's some poo poo implementation. Single key shortcuts shouldn't exist in what is ostensibly a non-modal program that accepts text entry. I agree, though, just allow us to configure our own key mappings without an extension tysm. Add it to the loving thousands of about flags available. For all of the soapboxing that chromium devs do, they sure don't understand that no matter the skill level of the user, the computer is only useful when it does what the user expects of it. But please don't pretend that because it's your way it's the better or more experienced way. It is entirely user hostile and the idea of bringing it about as a standard around the same time as webapps and web2.0 has always been dumb and bad. Anyway, use vimium. It's good. Hjkl supremacy.

Updating fonts is annoying as hell because many people have designed their sites specifically against how they look with that font. The appropriate response is to create a new font and make it the default, so that the old one is still around for those purposes. I agree it looks better, but theres a simple way to reduce unnecessary inconvenience here that they eschewed for no good reason other than spite. So, standard operating procedure.

Atomizer posted:Vimium seems pretty cool, but I'm struggling to find a reason to try it out because I already use a lot of Chrome-native shortcuts. The only thing I really need a mouse pointer for is clicking links. Use it and then type f for all the links on the page to get labeled with three-letter combinations to follow them. Type capital F to do this for a new page in the background.

Det_no posted:Keeping track of sites over the years? Why wouldn't I? Firefox could do it, Edge could do it. Surely processing and displaying a long text file is not an herculean task. It's a solution to your problem, but not necessarily the one you're seeking. Get pinboard. It's not free, but it's absolutely worth it. It can also cache the versions of the sites when you add them, so if they're deleted or changed you can still find the info.

Lambert posted:I've had weird video issues with Chrome (and only Chrome, not Edge or Firefox) for a while: The browser will often "crash" (sites turn black for a second), after that, video sometimes doesn't play back correctly until I relaunch Chrome. Also, low-res video tends to be integer scaled (blocky) instead of smooth whenever no overlays are on top of the video (YouTube annotations, ads, video controls, ...). Color correction also doesn't apply when it's integer scaled. You can try turning off hardware acceleration

Crotch Fruit posted:How loving hard is it for you to comprehend I do not want multiple user accounts? It has not been necessary for the last 10 years and it is still not necessary since what you suggest does not prevent malicious websites from installing extensions. If you're so desperate for me to say "gee you're right you win" why not try actually being right? Why not try addressing the original issue for once? Bottom line you are trying to claim it's impossible to prevent Chrome from installing extensions, notifications and other click bait, and the only option you propose is to just let another user account get poo poo up with click bait. . . Which means that I will just have to go in and clean up that account! Now instead of one account to manage, I get the added bonus of another account full of spyware which I don't plan to check very often and this is the one true solution to my marriage and Chrome installing click bait. We're not your tech support, you had a problem, we offered the standard solution. Maybe open a bug with the chromium team. And gently caress off with your entitled attitude. Edit: here's exactly where to file your innovative bug! https://chromiumbugs.appspot.com/?t...issues/entry.do Grassy Knowles fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Mar 15, 2019 |
