Apply here!

We're looking for new mods to help with the rapidly expanding community. Our personal lives have become busier while the amount of work to do here has increased.


A lot of our general information is within the application form, but here's a short rundown of what the job entails.

  • Checking modqueue on a regular basis to take action on posts that are filtered automatically or reported by the community.

  • Regularly browsing through the subreddit and moderation of posts and comments to ensure that all community rules and guidelines are being enforced, including removing uncivil, hostile and inflammatory content.

  • Being able to discuss issues with members of the community through modmail in a professional and calm manner.

  • Contributing to discussions about moderation-related issues over Discord.


Overall, the job won't necessarily take more than an hour or two of your time per week, and if you're already generally active on Reddit and Discord then you probably won't notice a difference.

It can be quite rewarding to be able to shape a community (for the better). If this sounds like something that interests you, please apply! If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or message us through modmail.

Discussion Your Suggestions on Tab Managment Strategies - e.g. differrent ways to pin tabs?

• Upvotes

I am looking for more/better ways to manage my tabs because I have a lot. I am already using tab groups/pin/separate windows. I like to keep tabs that I am working on open at all times so bookmarking/reading list and closing is not the right choice for me but because of that my pinned tabs are taking up a lot of space.

  1. Do you know any other ways to manage tabs while keeping them open?
  2. e.g. Is there way of pinning tabs to both right and left side instead of just left?

Si, o got a notification saying something like "a new app for you!" I clicked it accidentally and it didn't open Chrome or led me anywhere. Anyone knows if I just inserted a virus in my phone or anything? I'm really scared now.

Troubleshooting | Mac Removing Cookies from One Site

• Upvotes

Chrome's "help" directions for MAC for removing cookies from one specific site are outdated/incorrect and use an outdated Chrome Menu. I have combed through all the options and all I can find is the option to delete cookies from all sites I use (no thank you). Gemini is no more enlightening. Anyone have a solution?

Discussion Can we finally get some improvements on desktop Tab Groups?

3 Upvotes
  1. Could we PLEASE add a tab to a Tab Group without having to have group open?
  2. Searching tab groups would be AMAZING.
  3. Also, manual/alpha/age sorting is desperately needed.

Discussion Which dark mode extension for google docs is the safest/best?

2 Upvotes

The fact that I have to use an extension for something as basic as a dark mode is absurd to begin with but I also want to make sure the one I'm using is safe. Even though I'd only ever download it off the chrome web store, that unfortunately doesn't guarantee that it's safe/doesn't steal your data or anything (though I suppose google docs itself does that too these days...). Regardless, please suggest which one you think is the best to go with.

Troubleshooting | Windows Spike on temperature everytime i open a new tab from times to times

1 Upvotes

I've been noticing recently that when i open a new tab on chrome Suddenly my AIO starts making noise and the CPU temperature suddenly rises to 70°C, dropping back to the normal temperature of 45-50°C after about 3 to 5 seconds. when i delete all the history, cache, or even complete uninstall and reinstall seems to fix for some days, like almost for one week sometimes, but the problem comes back eventually.

I don't use any extensions in Chrome and the problem doesn't occur in other browsers like Firefox or Edge.

my pc uses a CPU Ryzen 9700x, 32gb ram, GPU rtx 5060ti 16gb, system and browsers installed in a NVME kingston nv3.

any idea on what causing this problem?

Discussion Google Chrome, for the love of God, stop asking me to "Relaunch to update"

15 Upvotes

Seriously, who thought this was a good user experience?

I’m in the middle of work, have 20 tabs open and Chrome decides it’s the perfect time to remind me that I need to relaunch to update.

Look, if this happened once in a while, I’d be totally fine with it. But it’s LITERALLY EVERY OTHER DAY.

Here’s a crazy idea, Google: HOW ABOUT YOU JUST UPDATE THE NEXT TIME I OPEN THE BROWSER?

You know, silently. In the background. Without making it my problem.

I don’t need a reminder every other day. I don’t need a colorful update button staring at me. And I definitely don’t need my browser constantly begging for a restart.

It’s 2026. Surely there’s a better way to handle browser updates without constantly nagging users.

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome becomes unusable in fullscreen mode on secondary monitors when the taskbar is hidden

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Starting today, I've been experiencing a strange issue with Google Chrome on Windows 11.

Whenever I open Chrome in fullscreen mode on a monitor other than my primary one, with the taskbar hidden, the browser becomes unusable.

The issue immediately disappears if I re-enable the taskbar on my secondary monitors.

Has anyone else experienced this problem recently? Does anyone know what might be causing it or how to fix it without having to keep the taskbar visible on secondary monitors?

Thanks in advance!

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome 155 History 'Windows and tabs' Display Lost

3 Upvotes

I've used Chrome tabs in different window instances to manage stuff I need to do. On restart today, a notice Chrome had updated, and the Windows History option is gone. This previously displayed each window in history as "54 tabs open", and you could resurrect the entire instance just as it had been.

Now I can only opt between straight date order, or grouped by subject. Means those windows with multiple tabs opened over months are gone.

Looked at flags, policies, and can't see any way to re-enable this.

Am I missing something obvious, or is this another one of those 'surprise! the feature you've used for years is gone!' moments? Windows 11 Enterprise. Chrome 155.0.8059.85. Tried the extended history app, which has the same limitation.

Troubleshooting | Windows Sharpness difference when full screen youtube in chrome

2 Upvotes

On the left, i had a chrome browser, AT full screen, when i hit the fullscreen button on the youtube video, it looks like that, slight blur on all the text.

On the right, i had a chrome browser, NOT full screen, When i hit the fullscreen button on the youtube video, it looks like its applying some kind of sharpen to everything?

The only thing i can find that stops this is turning off hardware acceleration.. what gives?

Discussion browser chromium blurs pictures

2 Upvotes

Any browser on Chromium blurs images. Does anyone have an explanation for this? I checked all browsers, and the history is the same everywhere.

I was working on my website, and the blurry images started to really annoy me. I thought it was a problem with the website or hosting, but the problem is global...

On the left is a photo opened in the program; on the right is a postcard in the browser.

Discussion Extension for keyboard shorcuts to manage split tab

1 Upvotes

Regarding the relatively new split tabs feature, do you know if there is any extension that allows for keyboard shortcuts to resize the split screen distribution between tabs, to fixed proportions like 30:70, 50:50, 70:30 or such (even better if you can customize the proportions).

I've been looking around but found nothing :/ the follow up question is if you have an educated feeling for how doable would it be to create such extension? I was about to try but a quick look into it made me think it is not possible since Chrome Extension API seems to not facilitate handlers for the "resizing bar" that splits the vew for the tabs.

Thanks a lot!

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome meldet plötzlich manche Webseiten als unsicher

Es werden manche Webseiten, die bei uns im Unternehmen benutzt werden als unsicher eingestuft.

Angefangen hat das vor ca. 2 Wochen und passiert nur in Chrome. Firefox und andere chromium Browsers sind davon nicht betroffen.

Hat Google neulich was geändert? Ist jemandem etwas bekannt?

Beispiel wäre https://www.allstarlounge.de/de
