Odd, I restored multiple windows after a crash just yesterday. I do seem to have a vague memory of having that issue in the past... maybe they fixed it?

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.

reagan posted:Does anybody have any idea why Chrome is displaying some images like this? The color grading is all hosed up. Reinstalling Chrome did not work, so I thought it was my video card drivers, but that didn't fix it. Firefox and IE display the same pictures just fine. That image looks hosed up on Chrome, Firefox, and IE for me.

Is there a way to go straight to the new tab page from a currently existing tab? For example, I've got SomethingAwful open in a tab. Currently, if I'm done with SA, and want to go to new tab page, I close SA tab and open a new tab. It would be nice to have just one action to replace current tab with new tab page which has links to my most used sites right on it.

In Outlook I click on the down arrow next to the file and click "Download" and it does download into my Downloads folder on the computer, but doesn't show up in the download bar at the bottom of the Chrome window and opens in Preview automatically. In Outlook you can't right click and Save As on attachments. On any other attachment, that "Download" option saves with the expected behavior. What is "Preview"? Chrome has it's own built-in preview function, but you're talking like its something other than that maybe?

mr.belowaverage posted:Is that the likely reason, when I'd had the extension for years? I don't know anything about your extension, but extensions get malware added to them all the time either by the developer or by whatever company the developer sells it to. It's a great strategy. Develop something useful, get it installed on lots of people's computers, then add some sort of malware and since extensions auto-update everyone automatically gets your malware.

shadow puppet of a posted:Is anyone else noticing downloads sometime seem to bog down the browser to the point of making the UI lag for up to half a second? And the behavior goes away as soon as the download is completed? Its become frequent for me. I'm only running the extension ublock origin, modified tab order and no smooth scrolling and the only anti virus is win10's built-in one. I've had that behavior happening on and off for years when download is finishing and up it's always been MSE/Defender/"win10's build-in one". Keep task manager running and download something that exhibits this behavior and you'll probably see the anti virus churning when Chrome is lagging.

I usually have 15-20 tabs open, and it starts off at about 7-8gigs, and then over a couple of day will work it's way up to 10-11gigs. Is there anything I can do to reduce this other than have less tabs open? What problem are you trying to solve? Why does it matter how much memory chrome is using?

Even though I'm extremely used to using backspace to go back, I decided against using any of the workaround to re-enable it. There's a decent chance that eventually, these extensions will become unsupported and then the only option is the Alt-Left shortcut. I'd rather just learn that now and get it done.

Your question doesn't make sense. Do you mean you want to maximize video to the window size? I think you need to write a Greasemonkey script or something similar to that...and that will only work for html5 videos.

So here's a complaint. Chrome/Chromecast thingy lets you cast a tab to Hangouts. This idea is super awesome because you can share a webpage to someone over Hangouts and talk about the page or whatever. The stupid thing is that you have to set up a Calendar event wherein you invite everyone who is going to participate in the casted hangout tab thingamabob. What the gently caress? Why can't I just select the Cast button in Chrome and cast to one of my contacts? Google...always making things weird and complicated.

biznatchio posted:Because if they don't have an ad blocker, users will install one, or switch to a different browser with one. By building in their own ad blocker, they get to control it and can pull an ABP and decide to let "acceptable ads" (read: Google's ads) through. Just block the annoying poo poo, which Google's never really served up anyway, and users will more than likely be content with it. I'm actually OK with this as long as the acceptable ads stay in line with what I consider acceptable. I only block ads because they make the web such a poo poo experience...I don't actually enjoy depriving sites of revenue.

Google and others have made progress at perceptual ad recognition. In other words, instead of blacklisting domains or whatever like all the current ad blocking stuff, software is trained to recognize ads visually/textually. I wonder if that's what Google is looking at doing. Here's a proof-of-concept experimental extension to go along with this paper.
