Is there an extension for saving edited CSS rules for a website?

Hello All,
There are some pages I like to change how they look to make my workday easier. I go in the devtools and edit some CSS like removing margins and changing flex directions to row.

But I have to repeat these everytime I reload the page. So, I'm looking for an extension which does these changes for me automatically when I load the page.

Any luck?

Problema con scorciatoia Chrome su Home screen smartphone

Buongiorno, vi spiego il mio problema: l'altro giorno ho creato una scorciatoia per un sito web sulla Home screen del mio telefono Android, ma quando la apro mi riporta sempre alla pagina iniziale del sito e non alla "sotto-sezione" da cui l'ho creata. Faccio un esempio:

  1. entro sul sito www.cani.it
  2. clicco su "croccantini" e finisco su www.cani/croccantini.it
  3. premo i tre puntini in alto a destra e faccio "aggiungi alla home screen" e creo la scorciatoia
  4. apro la scorciatoia e mi si apre www.cani.it; è normale questa cosa?

Grazie mille per l'aiuto

Desktop/Mobile view for Chrome iPadOS 18

Is there a way to set a default site view for specific websites individually, instead of only choosing between mobile or desktop in the content settings of the Chrome app?

There’s several sites I use frequently that I really prefer the desktop version with, and some that are far more user friendly with the mobile interface.

I’m wondering if there’s someplace within the settings of the Chrome app on the iPad, or either the iPad settings itself within app-specific settings? Or if my Google account can do that?

I know I can request to change between mobile and desktop on the “ . . . “ Icon, but when opening new tabs, it defaults to the chrome content setting choice and not the site version you were just browsing within.

Can Google chrome see my photos on my phone? I don't use Google Photos. But have gotten ads based on my photos.

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?

Active Tab Highlight or Glow

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?

When I make a group and try to drag it to rearrenge it in the tab bar, it drags showing all the tabs in it. I want to just drag the icon which is much more practical, is there any way to do that?

Weird fonts on every single page I open in Chrome?

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!

Tab isn't auto-filling/jumping to the search feature

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?

Tabs & Crashes - Memory Requirements

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?

Tabs Index is no longer traversable using up/down arrows

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?

Has CORS blocking made Chrome essentially useless at work for anyone else?

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?

How do I disable dark mode on Chrome without having light mode on Windows 10?

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 consumes so much internet

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 ?

What is the lightest and least CPU-intensive dark mode extension for Chrome?

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?
