Chromebook Google Play Support

So, I own a chromebook, specifically the ACER C730. I noticed that this model is still in planned for google play support, but some of the other planned and beta channels have become stable. Should I give up hope or just keep waiting?

Adressbar small on scaling

I am surfing on Raspbian with Chromium and using a big TV. I scaled up with Raspbian everything up except the complete row with adress bar and the extensions icons. Can i expand it too?

Emojis on reddit make Chromium (& Google Chrome) real laggy (Linux)

Facebook pages seem to be an exception. I often always see a rectangle instead of emojis on reddit. Selecting the rectangle and right clicking it to bring up a context menu takes several seconds. When I google it from the context menu it often takes several seconds for the result tab to appear. Had this problem since over a year. Only in Chromium and Google Chrome, never in Firefox. I have really tried to google for a solution or a bug report but I can't find anything relevant.

How do you stream Netflix on Chromium?

Hi everyone, I’m tired of googles tracking bs so I decided to switch to chromium today, when I was logging in to all my stuff I noticed that Netflix wouldn’t allow me to stream on chromium because it didn’t have HTML5 or something like that. I tried adding widevine to chromium but chrome://plugins has been closed off. Does anyone know a way to get Netflix and other streaming services right now?

Edit: I’m on MacOS.

Browser's buttons sometimes don't click

Hi.

in the last months I've notice that some browser's buttons (not websites' buttons) sometimes don't click. In fact I have to use the keyboard, select it and press Enter in order to click it.And this problem is both in Google Chrome and in New MS Edge, so I think this is a problem of Chromium.I haven't found anything about it (even though I'm experiencing this problem in different computers with different extensions and settings).

I attach some gifs to show what is the problem.

Edge:

Chrome:

https://i.gyazo.com/2950316fa21686ea6867a5979a8f5c28.gif

These are some scenarios where this problem occurs but there are many many more (including js alert buttons etc..)

I ask if you can try these things (try many times) or if someone has already experienced this problem.

Sorry for my english, I'm italian.

Tab clustering like in Edge

Hi! Do you remember that MS Edge had this great funktion of saving all the open tabs to a cluster that could be opened later on again? With that arrow button at the top left corner? I really miss that function since chromium, is there anything comparable? I know that you can still save "groups" in favorites, but that makes it way too complicated I think..

The UNNECESSARY spacing above tabs on all Chromium browsers (MacOS)

As you can notice from the image linked below, there is unnecessary spacing above the tabs (highlighted in Cyan color) even in maximized window mode in MacOS. I've seen an option to disable this on some browsers but not on Chromium browsers (almost all). Is there any relevant setting to remove this? If not, any tweaks via the "flags" section?

You can see the spacing compared to Firefox:

OneTrust cookie opt-out tool never remembers my choices

I use a cookie blocker plugin (Cookie Bro) with Chromium. This plugin lets me whitelist and blacklist individual cookies or entire domains, and periodically delete all other cookies.

Meanwhile, many sites have begun using the OneTrust cookie management tool to ensure GDPR compliance. This tool gives a site's users a GUI to approve and decline groups of cookies based on their general purpose. You can see an example at mailchimp.com.

My problem is that sites that use OneTrust ALWAYS prompt me to make these choices every time I visit, and it's aggravating. Is this an active choice by the sites that use OneTrust in order to make me more likely to just give in to convenience and click "Accept All"? Or is OneTrust supposed to save my choices to its own servers, but cannot due to my local cookie blocker? I've tried whitelisting OneTrust's cookies but that didn't work.

Any ideas?

Interface designer looking to contribute to Chromium project

Hello everyone,
I have been a product designer for five years now with a specialization in interface design also known as a visual designer. I have recently switched to Chrome OS only, and I love it. I was wondering how someone with my skill set can contribute to chromium? I have always admired open source projects but have not quite figured out where interface designers fit in the pipeline.
I would appreciate any insight!

Chromium-based browsers take up way too much CPU processing power on Linux compared to Windows

Chromium-based browsers are all unnecessarily taking up too much CPU processing power. I pressed shift+esc on both Windows and Linux within the browsers and I found that Brave was taking up way too much CPU processing power compared to Windows. So I compared two websites Benchmark Your Graphics Card On Linux and WhatsApp Web

CPU use for Brave for Windows

Benchmark Your Graphics Card On Linux

Idle: 1-4 Scrolling: 30-40

WhatsApp Web

Idle: 0 Scrolling: 30-60

GPU Process (for Benchmark Your Graphics Card On Linux website)

Idle: 0-3 Scrolling: 18-48


CPU use for Brave for EndeavourOS

Benchmark Your Graphics Card On Linux

Idle: 17 Scrolling: 140-160

WhatsApp Web

Idle: 0 Scrolling: 153

GPU Process (for Benchmark Your Graphics Card On Linux website)

Idle: 2-5 Scrolling: 110


So I am not too sure why on Linux Chromium-based browsers are taking up more CPU processing power compared to Windows, if anyone knows what is going on I would love to know. Thanks :)

Google SWE Intern : Host Matching with Chrome team

Hi, I am a Google SWE Intern candidate (North America) in the host-matching phase. I have been in the host-matching phase for about a month now. I super interested in working with Google Chrome team. Does anyone working at Google on Chrome uses this subreddit? I was wondering whether any intern spots are left with the team for Summer 2020 and whether I could be considered for it?

Thanks. Have a nice day.

Any else experience problems on YouTube?

Recently I'm getting some problems when playing videos on YouTube `ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT`, meaning that an extension have blocked the request. But I have only uBlock Origin installed with default settings and Privacy Badger.

And it seems to only happen on music videos 😹

I have tried to disable them one at a time, doesn't help. Seems like both have to be completely disabled.

  • Chromium (ungoogled marmaduke): Version 80.0.3987.116
  • uBlock Origin: 1.24.4
  • Privacy Badger: 2020.1.13

Chromium closing windows silently and without my say-so

I keep several windows open normally, each with multiple tabs, as a poor-man's tab organization. In the last few weeks, maybe month or so, I have noticed that Chromium has been closing some of these windows without warning. I'll leave my computer, come back, and they're just gone. Reopening from my Recently Closed menu is dicey at best, because I don't know exactly how many tabs each one had, and Chromium will let me open a COPY of a current window apparently, so it's a game of just trying different "X tabs" entries until I find what I'm looking for, which sometimes works and sometimes what I was working on seems to just be lost to the ether. Has anyone else experienced this, and/or knows of a solution or what I should look into?

Import Bitwarden passwords to Chrome

Hello everyone,I made a simple program that converts the exported Bitwarden passwords to a suitable format to be imported back into Chrome (or any Chromium based browser).

I know this may be a little bit controversial since the general idea of password managers is to not use the integrated browser password manager but I'm sure there are people who'll find this tool useful.

Here's a link to the GitHub repo where you can download it:
