Others bookmarks comeback chrome in version 117.0.5938.89. How everyone to delete this other bookmark folder in bookmark bar
Just having some trouble figuring this out. Chrome is set to dark theme but the side panel is white. It really bugs me and I'd rather it match everything else. I don't see any option to change this. Here's what it looks like:
I see pictures and videos about the side panel and they don't seem to have this issue. No, their side panel is either light or dark just like their theme. I don't know what's wrong. My guess is that it's a win7 problem or something.
My next question is about the webview. I tried enabling the flag for it to see how it goes and hey, you can play the chrome dino game on it. That's neat. But when trying other pages, it doesn't seem to scale within the size of the side panel.
I'm wondering if this is just how the webview feature is or if there is a way to make it fit within side panel. It seems really useful but not having it fit is bothersome.
Lastly, I'd like to ask about side search functionality. In the Google Chrome help site, they mention something about pinning the Google search icon. I...I don't really see that on my end. Also, is there anyway to make that google.com option on the dropdown menu permanent?
That's all my questions. Most results I see online just hate on the side panel, but I think it's quiet useful, so I appreciate any response and help about this.
Whenever I try to clear browser data on Chrome for Android, pissedconsumer.com always appears as an "important" site.
I never access this site and yet it always shows here. I have deleted all browsing/cache/passwords (clicked every checkbox I can), deleted info for All Time, cleared data and cache through my phone's app settings, and have un- and re-installed Chrome. Is there a way to get rid of this? I am mostly concerned about that it seems to have access to my phone. If I can't get rid of it, can I see what it's doing/accessing in my browser/phone?
So.. short story short: Chrome refuses to stop using my keyboard media keys to start and stop youtube even when hardware media keys disabled in "chrome://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling".
Slightly longer: I had it working for years, then suddenly chrome started using the play/pause button again, and that's been so for a couple years, but now it started using the change track buttons too, which I just cant stand. Spotify also accepts the media keys, so currently they control both chrome and spotify at the same time, and its driving me insane.
Any ideas?
Hi there. I have a couple of alternative emails, and so instead of going through the lengthy process of switching between Chromebook logins I have them all as secondary emails on my regular login. However, every so often I'll log in to find that all of them have been renumbered for seemingly no reason. So a profile that I use a lot has now become user 1 in the url and panel, and similar changes have happened for each email.
I can't shorthand to any of my documents and spreadsheets anymore, as it will automatically return a request access page. The only option I can think of is deleting all docs and drive pages from my browser history to correct these shortcuts, but I know that if I see my user 1 drive, I will not be expecting to open the one that's been user 2 for the past 8 months-ish.
Uh. That got lengthy. My question is: is there a way to solidify an order between your secondary emails? I've found some people talking about this issue, but nothing more recent than 3 years ago.
Sorry if I used the wrong flair, I'm not sure if chromebooks fall under it.

if we NEVER use a side panel?
Hope you are well. I understand this is common. I'm not computer savvy at all. It's extremely important that I can get this fixed within 24 hours.hope you can help. I'm using a Chromebook.
I have zero clue what to do. My phone is same way of course. If you think you can offer any assistance, I would obviously appreciate it. Hopefully, I can somehow offer you help with something. If you don't know what might help me, can you suggest another place to post? Thanks do much Btw, I didn't know what kind of flair to put.. Chromebook and Android phones don't work
I swear I'm actually gonna kill myself. I hate google so fucking much it's seriously not even funny.
I have disabled google update on startup, disabled its update service and renamed the update .exe file so it cannot open it.
It still updated.
So, does anyone have a zero-bullshit zero-jump-through hoops method to prevent this spyware from ever even thinking about updating again? Because nothing I've done has tried. I'm trying to find out what ips google uses for update of if they use their disgusting frontend ips.
I need to stop updating it because 95% of all updates ruin the dev tools and download speed for chrome. It's buggy and glitchy. I do not feel I can say any more without cussing google out.
For the last couple months, when I try and watch YouTube Shorts on Chrome the video is very dim. It's a bit lighter at the top of the video, but the bottom is too dark for me to see anything. I've tried clearing the cached images and files and turning off hardware acceleration.
Has anyone had this problem and knows if a fix?
In the last 3-4 days, I've noticed my screen will sometimes go white. When I was watching a YouTube video, in the middle of it, my entire chrome went white. I could not open another tab and get anything to show up it was just a solid white page, I also couldn't refresh a page to get it to reappear. After opening a tab and opening a new website, did anything show up.
I'm also noticing issues on YouTube in general. Like the tags in the top of the right side bar where it says "all" "From (youtube username)" "Minecraft" ect, will sometimes just randomly flash on my screen. I'm also having issues opening up comments on Shorts. I've noticed some of these issues even happening on Twitch where the videos just vanish as I'm looking through them and I gotta wait to get them to come back or refresh.
I just applied the newest update, so if anything changes or fixes I'll update the post but I'm not entirely sure reinstalling Chrome would fix it or not. I'm also on a 3080 and I'm using OpenGL as that was said to help fix artifacting that I was seeing when scrolling or opening videos on YT.
Like, reverse image used to be soo good in the past but now it doesn't work anymore. It almost never find the picture that I am searching :|
I save all of my passwords to my device, and have sync turned off. Earlier today I restarted my PC and all of a sudden I was signed out of all of my google accounts and my passwords are missing. My history is still there, and so websites I frequent autofill, but the passwords for them are gone. Is there any way I can recover my passwords?
When I click on a box asking for my email address on a webpage I get a list with several options. In my case one of those options is an address that is misspelled and several are email addresses that I will never need to use again because they were addresses to other people or organizations. How can I clean up that list so the unwanted choices stop showing up?
Trying chrome mica effect, but unable to see it, did everything but still nothing happening. Can anyone help me with this.
I work in IT and I and several users have cleared our cache with the passwords box UNCHECKED and still lost our passwords. Anyone run into this issue before? We often tell users to clear their cache but some are hesitant now (as so am I). Not sure if a workaround exists.
In the last day, chrome has suddenly started freezing for 1 to 2 minutes every time I do anything involving the clipboard, such as cutting, copying or pasting. Any suggestions on how to stop this from happening? The copying, etc., works, but it just takes like 3 minutes to copy and paste a short sentence.
Things I have tried:
Relevant info:
I know I can get an extension that will sync scrolling between tabs.
The issue is that
the sync only lasts till the pages refreshes (and since this is a form that needs to be submitted and resubmitted multiple times it refreshes constantly)
I cannot find anything that seems to sync clicks and input across tabs, which would be extremely useful since the tabs are identical forms that never change.
Whenever I’ve searched something hand then reclick on the search bar to add to/edit what I’ve typed, the search bar cursor automatically pops up to the left, ie the beginning of the entire text bar instead of at the right ie the end of the written text.
This is incredibly inconvenient and I want to use the earlier version. How do I do so?
This used to be possible but i can't get any of the old commands to grab the googleupdater and update it without opening google chrome directly and going to help and about. Would appreciate a method to get around this as we have a massive user base to update constantly with this.
Just reopened Chrome on my Android Samsung device, and all the tabs with offline pages were opened as online pages instead.
Edge, so far, still reopens offline tabs as offline tabs - except, as of late, the last open tab, which, if it was an offline one, gets its page reloaded and is opened as an online tab instead;
which is also a major problem, because for a while now, Edge has started getting frozen whenever a Downloaded page is opened, and requiring a reload - and then when it's reopened the tab is online lol
So effectively, it's no longer possible to open a downloaded page with Edge - with Chrome it's possible, but seems to only last for a session (at least reliably).
Anyone know what's up with this? Is this a device problem considering both these browsers are affected, or a problem with the browsers? Does Edge share some of Chrome's software like a lot of the Chromium browsers, or not in this case?
Title. Scale to fit is turned on. Ive verified "view all displays" is selected in the session options and I've hit the shortcut for it multiple times. I can still see the second screen when display 2 is selected. This is on a 2023 M2 Mac mini. I've got 2 that have this issue and 3 that don't. All have fresh installs of Mac OS and with only CRD installed. Nothing has been done differently between them, all connected to 1 account. At no point did they ever display both monitors. Any clue what's going on?
hello, I don't know where to post this but sometimes I find myself opening multiple related tabs on the first Chrome window where I already had opened other unrelated tabs, and I end up with too many tabs opened on the first window which I could have avoided if I had opened new topic tabs directly in a new window. I think it would be nice to have a feature on Chrome to move all tabs on the right in a new window (currently you can do it one by one), how can I send this feedback to Google?
