This has happened a few times before, and just happened again today. This time, I got an ad for a bunch of baby dolls, all looking pretty similar, all girl dolls. I've never searched for anything like that (no kids, not looking at toys or dolls, nothing of that nature) but did take a couple pictures (using X gallery app) of a co-worker's baby girl and texted it to someone using a texting app called Next SMS. Seems weird that I got what seemed to be one of those targeted-looking ads now, with all the baby dolls. Anyone else have this happen?
I use a black color scheme for Chrome since I work many hours on the PC, and it helps prevent my eyes from getting too tired. However, from the angle I view my monitor, distinguishing which tab is open is nearly impossible. This becomes a major problem when I have more than 50 tabs open at work. I need an extension or something that clearly highlights the currently open tab. Any recomendations?
Both PCs have latest version of Chrome but one has Performance Issue Alerts under the "performance setting" and the other one doesn't, how to enable this setting on the other PC?
Not sure if this is an issue with Chrome or my mac, although I haven't had this issue with Safari so I'm assuming it's chrome. The font suddenly changed on every page I open a few weeks ago and didn't change back to normal. Not sure what do do because my font settings in the app are normal? (see attached images) Please help!
Hey all, basically in a bit of a pickle, my Chromebook keeps crashing and just instantly restarting, I've updated all software, play store and games and apps and it's just absolutely not having any of it, it had got a tiny bit better and now it's just going on one again, any ideas?
Hola, bueno tuve problemas al momento de sacar el limite de fps en cualquier navegador, no se por que cuando lo sacas se bugea el navegador y los fps suben tanto (alcanza hasta 2000 oh 8000 fps) que se congela y se queda ahí.
Every time I search something on Google the page freezes for like 2 or 3 seconds. Every other page works well without any freezing. Anyone knows any solution?
As title says. Chrome fully shuts down when I click enter/open to upload a file from desktop. Is there a fix?
I wanted to check my password to write it, and i only found one unkown saved gmail ( it's a very old gmail of mine) and every password is gone but when i go to gmail and press add new accounts it still autofills the info
I am no longer able to use the Tab button to jump to searching a site when typing it in the address bar. It just keeps skipping down to the next saved site. Is this happening to anyone else? Anyone have a fix?
Hey,
So I am building a new computer, I want to make sure that I have enough memory. Lately I've been experiencing crashes, probably due to running out of memory, I got around 1000 tabs (yes , I know) - I got (I think 32gb of ram) - how much ram would you recommend for this?
The Tabs Index - reachable by Shift-CMD-A on macOS - is not responding to either up or down arrow anymore. I have to do the clunky thing of dragging the mouse over to the list and click. In addition I can't just start typing search terms: I have to click in the "Search" field first.
These were working until a couple of weeks ago. Did some update to chrome break it?
I honestly have no idea what happened in terms of my company's cybersecurity changes, however, within the last month, I stopped being able to use almost every website with interactive or media content. That includes, YouTube, X, Discord, my banking website among many others. Interestingly, Reddit and Instagram still work for some reason.
In the F12 menu, I always see multiple instances of:
A cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) request was blocked because it was configured to include credentials and the Access-Control-Allow-Origin response header of the request or the associated preflight request was set to a wildcard *. CORS requests may only include credentials for resources where the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is not a wildcard.
The wild thing is that all of these sites work fine in Edge! What the hell is happening with Chrome? I've read about multiple workarounds for this, including turning off security features and installing suspicious add-ons, but I've got to figure that there's a better solution to this.
Any thoughts?
It seems I can't default Chrome's theme to light mode if Windows theme setting (default app mode) is on Dark. I tried to go on chrome://flags and disable Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents but some website persist being in dark mode.
Is there no other way?
Chrome uses ~ 200 MB of internet in under one hour when I'm googling stuff and opening random websites (not youtube of course). I can't afford that because I'm working on a limited internet plan. Is there any solution ?
Dark Reader works well but it slows down my browser a lot, especially when switching between tabs. Are there any other alternatives that don't have as big of a performance impact?
I've never seen this before. What is this?
So I just build my first pc this weekend and everything is working perfectly, except that all browsers I've tried(chrome, opera, edge and firefox) are lagging like crazy especially when streaming. At max I can stream at 780p without having problems, but as soon as I go above that it just doesn't play anymore. I've tried every solution I can find, so I'm getting very pretty desperate now. I've speedtested and it's fine(900 up and down). Online games work perfectly fine, so does discord and other programs that use internet. Thanks in advance for any advice🙏
edit: I solved the issue by going to realtek own website and downloading the newest pcie network adapter, thanks for any suggestions
My Adobe subscription has expired, but whenever I open the link to a PDF in Chrome I just get the login page for Adobe and a message to say that I need to pay to renew my subscription. This is frustrating because it doesn't ask if I want to use anything else to open the PDF, and I often can't simply copy and paste the link into a different browser because often it will require a password and I'm not logged in with a different browser.
Is there any way to copy text from chrome's (android) incognito mode and use it in other applications?
I hacked a website game and i got blocked from it i cant play it or anything is there a way to fully reset my data on it and start over please help.
There was some kind of Chrome AI explainer link on Chrome's main page this morning and I went down that rabbit hole, wherein Chrome offered at link to download Chrome.
What's that all about? There are none of the usual indicators of an upgrade being available.
(I am just asking a question but "Discussion" is the best flair I can find.)
Sometimes active tab freeze after ~10 minutes. When moving to other tab and back, page unfreezes. I have 16GB of RAM, i5-1235U, Iris Xe Graphics G7 80EUs, Windows 11 Pro. Any suggestions?
P.S. Sorry for my English, I'm Ukrainian and I don't use translators
Did anyone else notice a pop-up beneath the 9-pin/app launcher in the upper-right corner on the "New Tab" home page when first opening Chrome today? If so, did anyone catch what it said? I had already clicked on a bookmark by the time I had noticed it, and was just wondering what it was notifying us about. Assuming it was a new feature of some sort.
Thanks!
Hi there,
I typically use two Chrome windows: my main window on my desktop and a side window on my notebook screen, where applications like Microsoft Teams or my email client are open. When I click on a link in Teams or in an email, it always opens in a new tab within my side window. However, I would prefer the new tabs to always open in my main window instead.
Is there a way to achieve this?
Hello everyone!
In my Chrome browser, I have a user profile linked to an email. Previously, the profile saved passwords, but because its synchronization ceased, I cannot access the passwords or information saved in the profile.
Is there any way to retrieve all this information?
Hii, I wanted ask how long does the recovery period for a deleted Google account lasts until it gets permanently deleted?
