This happened so randomly. I tried deleting all the extension and everything and it still does this. Works fine with incognito but whenever I'm using my main account, it does this. Both on windows and mac. have anyone experienced this?
I tend to keep a lot of tabs (way too many but I like it that way) and windows in my chrome session, I have even before I upgraded. Before when I started chrome it would render the full windows almost right away, and just load the current active tab, and wouldn't try pre-caching the other inactive tabs. What happens now is different, even without addons, it loads X number of windows and doesn't render anything within the frames except a white\black background for a good 10-15 minutes. The windows are effectively in a locked state until it finishes processing, and it doesn't even hammer the CPU. Looking at the chrome task manager it doesn't seem to pre-cache every page, only the pinned ones. My new machine is significantly more powerful than my old one, so that shouldn't be an issue. Does anyone know of a solution for this? I have done quite a bit of searching and haven't come up with anything except playing with chromes performance settings, or flags which aren't on my chrome flag list.
I'm not sure if this is a hardware problem or a google problem or that i use these extensions on soundcloud. Please direct me to one that works if possible.
Hi all,
About 2 weeks ago my google translate stopped working.
Previously I could right-click and select translate or use the icon on the right side of the address bar but both options just give 'This page couldn't be translated'.
These are website I frequently visit and have been translating for years.
I have tried clearing cache, Chrome is up to date - Version 131.0.6778.109 (Official Build) (64-bit)
I do not know much about computer but I really wanted to download lecture videos from my online classes so I stumbled upon a post in reddit and I clicked on it and was directed to an INTERNET DOWNLOAD MANAGER website. There was a 30 days trial and I downloaded it. Now, I noticed that every time I press the 3 dots on the top right of my chrome, I see something at the bottom which says "browser is managed by your organization."
I don't know why is this happening because this is my personal laptop. Every time I clicked on it, there is a blank page and it doesn't show who is this so called organization. I don't know what to do. I immediately uninstalled the internet download manager. I also deleted it on my recycle bin to make sure. I also did a reset on my chrome settings. The "your browser is managed by an organization" still appears and it's stressing me out. What to do?
Hello,
I've been experiencing this issue lately, where the webcam seems to lag on chromium based browsers. I noticed this on google meet and Slack.
At first I thought it was an issue with the connection or google meets, but after testing, it turns out that this issue with a laggy webcam seems to affect all chromium based-browsers.
I can't pinpoint the exact moment when this stopped working correctly, but it started about maybe a month ago; could have been a Chrome update or a Windows update.
I've tested on Chrome, Vivaldi, same issue on Slack, however the camera works perfectly fine on Firefox and native applications (Logitech Hub, OBS Studio).
I've also seen mention of this issue on a few other places, which seem to be all very similar:
Something else I noticed when using meet and experiencing this issue, on the camera settings there's an orange exclamation sign that blinks every few seconds. There doesn't seem to be any message associated with it.
In terms of specs:
The camera was working fine on Chrome and Slack about a month ago. I did an entire Google Meet call on Firefox today with that camera with no issues at all.
Any thoughts?
I set up content filtering on my router every other browser that I tried (i.e Safari, Firefox,Brave,cleaner browser) adhered to the content filtering. But Google Chrome was looking like it was doing some magic in the background and figured out how to bypass the rules.
I pretty much turned off every safe setting or encryption settings in the browser. Didn't matter
Anybody have any ideas? Thanks
Whenever I open Chrome it takes me to this ?? and when I open new tags it either makes more of these or takes me straight to google.com. I've been looking around to see how to make it go back but I can't seem to word it correctly because nothing's showing up and reverse image search just shows me clipart like the one on the page. I loved how I had my page set up before and I don't want to have to look at this forever. Please help me !!!
so the way I use a web browser is essentially though tabs outliner, its possible the dev for it fixes it, but I doubt it will happen.
Im wondering if its possible to install an older version of chrome, so it wont auto update, and have it get access to tabs outliner and hopefully be able to recover something, so I can have some form of workflow that isn't an absolute pain in the ass.
this is essentially what I was dreading, either chrome completely killing adblock, killing the marvelous suspender, or killing tabs outliner, outliner updated to manifest v3 in october after the dev being relatively mia, I thought this issue would not be an issue anymore but looks like I was wrong.
First off, my startup pages are set. They work correctly when chrome is “quit-ed” or I restarted my Mac…
My main question/problem is with new windows opening:
Is there a way for all of my startup tabs to be on every single new window?
I do not want to continue where I left off… I also do not want to quit chrome…
I just want to open more than one window and all of my startup tabs to be the same across all windows.
Just a bunch of duplicate windows.
Any help?
Hello everyone! I want to know on What platforms or accounts this quote has been reposted. It belongs to me and my account is @poetrybydiya on Tumblr, Twitter and Instagram. Can somebody help me find other accounts that have reposted this?
I tried using Google lens, bing and yandex but they don't help so much.
Has anyone noticed the new msi from google is broken and cant be installed?
https://dl.google.com/dl/chrome/install/googlechromestandaloneenterprise64.msi MSI Product Name: Google Chrome MSI Version: 70.158.32877
I've seen multiple reddit posts about this, but not a single post has a working solution. I have tried to disabling safe browsing and tried adding the flag --disable-features=insecuredownloadwarnings. Both options don't work, tried changing flags in Chrome, but the newer versions don't support disabling insecure downloads. If I download something on my own volition, I don't understand why I have to click download then allow that download to occur by going into the downloads and clicking download unverified file... Does anyone have a actual solution to this besides going to another browser like Firefox? (This may cause me to switch to Firefox)
Hello everyone,
A few days ago, I updated Google Chrome by going to the settings and : « About Google Chrome.”
My computer was running on battery power and in power-saving mode. I now see that “Chrome is up to date.”
I wanted to know if it makes any difference to update while the computer is plugged in or running on battery in power-saving mode (I think my battery was at around 23%)
How can I check if the update was completed successfully ?
Thanks!
I have open:
https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html
https://www.nytimes.com/puzzles/spelling-bee
https://www.nytimes.com/games/connections
Websites with cheats to two of those games. Don't judge me, jerks.
And a TV gossip web site, Primetimer.
Explain this, please:
Can anyone help change this to normal? It takes up a lot of space.
I received a chrome popup message asking to allow chrome to find devices on local network. I accidently clicked no. Is there anyway to reverse this? I can no longer cast as it can't see my devices. I went to privacy/local network and it's on. I had the recent casting issues others have reported a couple days ago and it starting working on it's own until today when I denied access. I'm on a mac with the latest software version and just updated chrome. Thanks
Multiple times, when I typed something in the seach bar, the browser showed suggestions below, when I clicked on the suggestion, it just went right straight through it and hitting one of the bookmarks on the bookmark bar.
So im not sure how to explain this but basically i was having issues w tabs not loading and stuff of that nature and i wasnt sure whether it was my internet or a ram / cache / cookies issue, so i decided to clear my cache and cookies, which mind you ive done before w no issues.
This time around however, when i was asked to log back in, i entered my primary email address which i always use and for some reason it showed a different google profile as "already existing". I decided to click on cancel when the "switch to google profile" option showed up and then repeated the process and then i was shown my primary google profile w the avatar and whatnot.
I clicked on it but now the interface just looks like the bog standard google profile when you make a new one or whatever and all of my old bookmarks are gone,
Also at the same time a different google window opened which had my name but was supposedly not signed in yet had all my bookmarks and everything was like it was before. However, when i press the sign in / sync option and i enter my details, it says that that account is already open and when i go to that interface everything is basic.
Im so confused and not sure if i explained my issue properly but id appreciate any help as to how i can merge or like fix this, thanks in advance!
...since the update grrr
Based on my searches on Reddit, I think the answer is no but I'd like to 2x-check:
It seems like this is not possible, and the only workaround would be to add my work email as a paid member on my airtable account. Can others confirm? Thanks.
Hey, guys! I know that Instagram has an option to turn off the activity status, but when I do that, I lose the ability to see when others are active. Is there any extension or method out there that lets me stay online without showing my activity status to others while still being able to view others' activity status? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, I tried searching but couldn't find it.
I've noticed that if I have a video (Youtube, Twitch etc) playing on a Chrome window that the quality massively degrades and it begins to stutter when I move the focus onto a different window (a game or work). The moment I re-focus the video returns to regular quality. This only began happening very recently, the last couple weeks or so I would say, and was fine before that.
I tried in Edge and the playback stayed consistent while window focus was changed, so it appears to be a Chrome issue. I tried fiddling with the "Performance" options in Chrome but nothing I did helped. I am on Windows 11 and my PC resources are not capping in task manager.
Thanks in advance
This pop is annoying ! How can I disable in google meet settings ! I tried in permission but In case i need it again I will forget it.. Is there any native settings in google meet
It shows up everytime I start Chrome.
TIA.
Google Chrome has a very clean and beautiful homepage, which is so simple and intuitive. And it's nice to keep updated to the latest version all the time.
I have tested many forked browsers, including Vivaldi, Edge, Brave, Floorp, Firefox, UnGoogleChromium, Mullvad, Cromite, LibreWolf, ZenBrowser, Centbrowser, many browsers are beautiful and fast, but sometimes I want Google services, or Google integrated things, will choose Chrome
I started the journey with reference to the aesthetics and insights of the ZenBrowser developer on the browser, and found that he came back to his original intention and Chrome, and wanted to show you our journey
Vivaldi: This is the first journey.
https://www.reddit.com/r/vivaldibrowser/comments/1gyaczs/zen_browser_developer_also_uses_vivaldi/
This was seven months ago, and the developer, in seven months, chose Brave because he was competing with Arc, and he wanted the aesthetic of Brave's vertical tabs, and he wanted to incorporate creativity into it.
Brave: This is the second journey

Finally, what I want to say is...

I like chrome better for reading pdf files than softwares like SumatraPDF, specifically for studying (I study CS so I work a lot with pdf files)
However I don't know of any built in feature which enables bookmarking pdf pages, am I missing something?
