How to auto-clear history on exit?

Has anyone found a way to hack this ever since they removed this option. I check in //flags and nothing there either. There's now an extension but it's asking for a $20. Curious wtf is going on that they are removing essential privacy measures.

'Graphics Acceleration' causes Black Squares on new 4070 Ti Super Cards.

Just letting making this post to index it in Google. If you find this post you aren't the only one. This is how to fix it:

Open Chrome's Settings > System > Toggle 'Use Graphics Acceleration When Available' Off to fix.

As of when this post was made Chrome is fully updated and so are my Graphic's Drivers, so its definitely a bug.

Chrome randomnly stop to work: Page are not loading anymore

Hello

I have big issue: Randomly, my chrome pages stop loading and all pages I open are infinite loading and never stop loading,
I try firefox and internet works fine, it's only chrome, and when I close chrome and reopen, I have the same issue (and all my pinned tab are lost and return about:blank ... another issue ),

The only solution is restarting my PC, but I work with many software I can't just restart my PC and lost all my unsaved work,

What happen?

Theme change - Highlighting text now

I changed the theme image on my chrome homepage tonight and now when i type in my search bar the words are highlighted the entire time. it's really annoying and makes it difficult to see what I'm typing. It used to just be white as I was typing. Additionally, it now highlights the tab names as my cursor hovers over a tab. I don't understand why all this changed. I've attached images of what the highlighting. Is there a way to put it back to normal?

Green House Tab Icon on Chrome

I've noticed some of my chrome tabs are a little green house. It usually happens incognito, but it won't let me take a screenshot of it.

Does anyone know what this is?

Can no longer remove circle icon on discarded tabs (while still using memory saver)?

Newest version (124.0.6367.92) no longer has this flag, it seems. Anyone know if there is a way to get rid of the circled icons that appear on discarded tabs now (without disabling the memory saver)?
chrome://flags/#memory-saver-discarded-tab-treatment

What is this charge PP Google Google

I have a charge in my checking from PP Google Google for $62.19. I called my bank to inquire about it and I was told that there was another charge in 4/7/2024 for a $1.00 and it was reversed. I reached out to paypal they could not see the $1. transaction and they could not see $62.19 because it's pending. I've never purchased anything from Google and not sure whats going on can anyone explain and what should be my next step.

Trying to make chrome more accessible for student

I’m trying to use Chrome-Vox for a student who is visually impaired, but I cannot understand how to customize it so it doesn’t have to read EVERY little thing (ex : keeps discussing display size, something being a min and max of 0-100)? I have turned off verbose sentences, but it still is reading more than necessary. And how do I turn on something so it can read the whole page?

ANY help would be so amazingly useful.

Invert colors only in chrome?

So I'm doing some work-from-home that involves using proprietary web-based software, and this particular software does not have an option to invert colors. Reading white text on black background is much easier on my eyes than the other way around. It runs optimally in chrome, but I use firefox for everything else, so I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me if there's a way to flip the colors JUST in the chrome browser. (I know how to invert colors in the windows settings, but I'd like to be able to leave the rest of the display normal) Thanks

Chrome on my Android tablet doesn't seem to honor the Font Size under Accessibility for the whole page. Certain sections of some websites follow the setting, but other parts have font so small that it's difficult to read.

Any help or suggestions? Thanks!

Had an unremovable extension and now I’m locked out.

There was an extension on my computer that I didn’t add, and I couldn’t remove it no matter what I tried. I initially found it in chrome, but then I saw it was in all browsers.

It claimed to be an “organization” which had control over every single aspect and couldn’t be removed. I couldn’t even change the settings on the extension.

Today, shortcuts kept appearing and disappearing on my computer, and then I was kicked out of my account. I try and click the sign in button on chrome but it just sits there and doesn’t do anything.

Antivirus scanner says nothing is wrong. What can I do?

Removing the Exit option in the Chrome menu

There has to be a way to remove this or at least add a confirmation prompt. Last week I went to click on Settings and accidentally clicked this. Boom, I lost all of my windows and the order they were in. I know I can re-open them but this seems like more harm than good.
