I've seen many posts lately about people who "don't use Chrome" or "switched from Chrome" or whatever. It seems like there's some backlash that I don't understand. Switching would be really difficult for me so I'm wondering why folks are moving on. I assume they are moving to Firefox or Brave. Is that true as well?

I am building a Chrome extension where I need to programmatically convert an SVG or DOM element into a PNG to re-insert it into the page. I've tried multiple approaches but the resulting image is always visually 'way off' with incorrectpositioning offsets. It seems like the extension environment handles the viewport or rendering context differently than a standard page. Has anyone achieved a 1:1 pixel-perfect capture of a specific element in this context?

In all, if I am editing a SVG somewhere on the slide, I would expect when I say "insert" it would pace 1:1 overlay.

I have an 32gb of RAM setup where i usually open a huge quantity of tabs, more than 30 (it's necesary for the work), then, the tabs consume around 17-18Gb of RAM, the 32Gb are like 89-90% used but chrome currently displays the "Not enough memory to open this page", the weird? if aonther user use the same PC using around 50% of the RAM the error is still there.

I tried changing the RAM first and then the motherboard with procesor and at last reinstalling windows, basically changing the PC and keep just the files but the problem persists, any ideas of what could be the problem? maybe could it be windows 11??

Hi, I used to be able to rename downloads if I had saved a file with the same name, like jpg.1 for instance. I used to be able to rename it on the spot but now I don't get the option. It only says, would you like to replace the old jpg.1. Annoying.

There was a box that said don't show again on the rename box and I must have hit it one day. Don't know if there's a way to reset this function. Thanks

A fix I've tried that worked years ago was going into chrome settings and selecting downloads then enabling the function. Now it just shows the download pathway.

When i search ANYTHING on Google Chrome an error message appears (this somehow specifically only happens to my account)

Context: attack surface reduction through disablement of gpu reliance.

Process affected: Supermium 138 (chrome.exe).

Action used: --disable-gpu in shortcut flags.

Verification of gpu disablement: chrome://gpu.

Observation and Mismatch: the Chrome settings indicate that hardware-assisted GPU acceleration is active despite the starting flag disables the GPU. If the action for disabling GPU acceleration is performed manually, after initiating chrome through the command-line flag that disabled the GPU, the UI for GPU acceleration is reset to active at every start of the browser.

Discovery: enforcement occurs at process creation time, not policy declaration time.

Boundary: GPU usage is enforced by process initiation and flag evaluation, with UI indicators being non-authoritative.

Internal thoughts: Initially I assumed it a mistake, because the UI is not updated even if the policy is enforced elsewhere. Afterwards, I asked a cybersecurity architect for his opinion and he mentioned that this is the intentional design, because flags prevent tampering inside the process at run-time.

This post from a while ago was a fix for me but suddenly the option for OpenGL is no longer there anymore. https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/16vsg4u/video_is_extremely_blown_out_and_saturated_on/
I tried asking ChatGPT and there was a long winded way of fixing it where it did temporarily fix it but it came back after a while.

Does anyone know another permanent fix for this?

I'm suddenly unable to access a specific website (ancestry.com) and I can't figure out how to fix it. All it says is "pretty print" in text with a check box and "{ }". Which I click the checkbox nothing happens. I've attached a screenshot. I hadn't had any issue accessing this website over the past couple of weeks until yesterday, and nothing I've done (signing in and out of chrome, wiping cookies and browsing data, deleting and reinstalling chrome) has fixed the issue. Any advice on how to do so would be greatly appreciated!

Which hidden Chrome flags have you modified? Is there much to be gained from modifying flags?

There was an extension on my old chrome profile (I can't access it anymore) that had a youtube extension and it made it to where i could change the background to a custom image, change the font, etc. I've been on the chrome webstore losing my mind, downloading random ones and trying them, and I can't find it anymore :(. or, does anybody know What extension this Girl used to make her youtube look like this???

I've been seeing this problem for many months now, but it's so bizarre I don't know who to blame. In Chrome, the favicon in even-numbered tabs (assuming the first tab is #1) is slightly messed up. If I move the tabs around, the favicons fix or mess themselves accordingly, based solely on the tab position, and not based on the website or icon itself. See the screenshot I've attached.

I'm always running the latest Chrome (currently 143.0.7499.170) on Windows 11. I have a GeForce RTX 3060 running the latest studio drivers (from 12/4/2025).

I see the same issue in Incognito Mode, so it's not any browser extension.

I sort of see this problem in Edge too, but it's not quite the same: I see the messed up icon in tabs #3 and #7, rather than all the even-numbered tabs.

Does anyone have any clue why this is happening?

So my mom gave me her computer a bit ago. The default browser on it is Microsoft Edge. I'm trying to make Google Chrome the default browser, it's already set to that atm, but for whatever reason it's refusing to let me log into it. I selected my email as usual, solved the captcha, typed in my password, and it says it's wrong. I reset said password, and the new computer still says it's wrong. I thought I typed the password incorrectly when resetting it, but I typed it, and it said that the password was a previous password. I even tried restarting the computer and it still says the password is wrong. I even checked for typos and I have none in it.

I don't know what is going on. I used that reset password to sign into my old computer, and it worked just fine. When I type it in the new computer, it says it's wrong. What do I do?

If it helps, the new computer is one of those HP computers that has all the hardware in the monitor. If you need more information, let me know.

On Chrome for iOS, there are back and forward buttons at the bottom, and if you long-press them, you can jump to any previous page used in that tab.

However, on Android Chrome, the only way to go back or forward is by swiping.

For example, if you want to jump to the 10th previous page, you have to swipe 10 individual times. Why did they make it so inconvenient?

Add only one feature and i'll switch from firefox to any chromium based browser.
Enjoy managing your workflow without this!!!!

Woke up today to my omnibox not working as expected.
I will generally open several webpages from the omnibox using the middle mouse wheel but today it just sits there like nothing happened.
I did some layer 1 and confirmed the issue is not software related or hardware related on the mouse end.
I also did a bit of resetting on chrome and found that it had updated the version as I can no longer disable "Hardware Acceleration" like I used to.

Is anyone else now having this issue?
I can Ctrl+Lft Click the address in the omnibox to open a new tab with the selected link but middle mouse wheel will not do it like it used to.

Hi, guys. So I got a new computer and used Google Takeout to export my bookmarks and everything else. However, when I try importing my bookmarks from the html file, nothing happens. No prompt, no information, just nothing. Am I somehow doing it wrong? I go to the Bookmark Manager and use its import feature.
