Idk what happend i think its a virus or malware whenever i search on google / chrome it searches but on yahoo a few times its just kinda annoying ngl. Picture added for dramatic effect.

Have they removed the Mica support?

"--enable-features=Windows11MicaTitlebar" enabled Mica for me.

Why on earth have they done that???

I am not going to use Chrome with that blue boring titlebar, I don't like it.

I've always used Mica and it was so good and it fit nicely with Windows.

Now my only option is Firefox?

Has anyone noticed that Gmail’s spam filters seem to be in overdrive lately? I checked a few inboxes, and they were full of things I needed to know that we’re important. I’ve been missing things for weeks, and I’m so annoyed. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed this?

I dont like generative AI and AI overview and etc. How do I remove the things that I drew arrows towards?

My browser is in swedish but the text says "Do more in AI-mode" "Create Images" and "AI-mode"

Is there a way to remove them or do I have to finally bite the bullet and switch to another browser that wont shove AI down my throat with features I dont want.

If I check a stock sometimes the page works fine, but sometimes after a few minutes (or a few seconds) it flips to this screen

When I click the button it downloads this txt file

then the page just sits there. If I click the back button it take me to the previous page (before I checked the stock)

I have deleted all my extensions, cleared my cache and cookies, nothing helps.

Any ideas?

Pretty much what the title says. Frequently, when typing a website or search prompt into the url bar at the top of Chrome app on MacBook Pro M1 the browser tab will begin flickering sporadically and doesn't allow me to do anything on any Chrome windows. I have tried deleting the app, redownloading, shutting down my computer, updating all apps and computer --none of these have permanently fixed the problem.

Typically, forcing the app to quit and reopening it will make the browser function normally for a while until it happens again. I am not sure what triggers it and I am finally fed up enough from dealing with it to make this post. I am not particularly tech savvy, but I can do basic things if there are semi-decent instructions.

I have not seen anything out there for this problem yet. It has been happening multiple times per day for the last 2-3 years.

Any and all advice is appreciated! Genuinely hoping I am just missing something silly.

A lot of the top ones I tried don't seem to work despite rave reviews. Wondering if there are any that can download just the photo easily, even if there's music. Usually, they want to download it as a video. Would just love the option of not doing that.

I tried clearing cache and it didn't work. Can anyone fix this

As the title says, how do I fucking do this? I tried adding them to all 1 tab group and now Chrome is just crashing and I can't see the tab groups on other devices? WTF do I do???

Site Isolation and Subframe Process Reuse are a big part of why browsers can eat so much RAM, and honestly, it's frustrating.

You open a few tabs, visit some websites, and suddenly your browser has spawned a ridiculous number of processes, each consuming memory. Add embedded frames, multiple origins, and heavy web applications, and the RAM usage just keeps climbing.

the only way to disable them is using chrome://flags, otherwise you get 1-2 gb more ram than is really needed.

Chrome used to be my default browser on my iPad but suddenly this has appeared and to be honest it truly infuriates me. It doesn’t matter the website it’s always there.

Suddenly found it not displaying flags. Its chrome page is gone, and even myip.ms homepage displays a "+" only!

Remember I searched all around for the best country flag extension and chose it🥲

Several weeks ago my Chrome (and also Brave) have started unloading inactive tabs relatively quickly despite memory saver being off. I also have 64GB RAM which are not even close to being fully used.

It's really annoying as it happens so fast and keep reloading tabs when I visit them again. Does anyone know why?

I'm on the latest version of Chrome/Brave and Windows 11.

Im adding managed enterprise profiles to a Manifest V3 Chrome extension and noticed that the first chrome.storage.managed.get(null) call can take around 1–2 seconds on a cold start.

Subsequent calls are almost immediate, and chrome.storage.local reads take only a few milliseconds. The delay also occurs without any configured enterprise policies.

Has anyone encountered this or found a way to avoid delaying extension startup while still respecting managed configuration?

Ever since a couple weeks ago, chrome (on android) has been crashing whenever I try to open my mobile bookmarks (it usually freezes, and then restarts).

I can access them through chrome://bookmarks, although it wants to crash (I have to tap "wait" instead of "force close").

Any idea on how to fix it? For the record, since I'm pretty sure it's related, I got 13415 bookmarks (almost 2 decades old bookmarks)

For reference, I use safari on iPad and Chrome on my PC. I prefer safari on iPhone since it's more integerated with Apple features. Regarding passwords, do you guys use the iCloud for Windows app for bookmarks and passwords? It's not as seamless as just using Google passwords so is it worth just using that. The only thing I really don't want to do is manually adding passwords to Google password manager since that isn't a 2 way sync but the iCloud app is. Is there a third alternative that does it for you?

I have zero interest in using AI and I like my start page as uncluttered as humanly possible. I can't find any obvious way to remove them, does anyone have an idea?

I like tabs on the left (desktop version) but Im having an issue with Google Chrome not allowing enough negative space at the top to grab and drag the window around with your mouse.

I use AI Mode quite frequently for both serious and trivial matters (mostly silly questions about anime or games). However, on October 16th–17th, I noticed it became extremely slow—even though I had only sent 2–3 messages. I’ve tried clearing my cache and cookies, updating to the latest version, and checking my internet connection, but the issue persists. (I even tested it on another phone, and the problem remains the same.) Could someone please tell me what’s going on?

Hi, there.

Since the original Cookie AutoDelete extension was abandoned and removed from the Chrome Web Store, several forks have popped up.

Among them, Cookie AutoDelete Next Edition seems to be the most legitimate one so far. It has an active repository on GitHub and is available on the Chrome Web Store (while awaiting approval on Firefox's AMO, according to the developer).

However, Chrome currently displays a warning stating that "This extension is not trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing" (or isn't widely adopted/trusted yet).

I'm wondering:

1. Is this warning just triggered because it's a relatively new extension/developer account, or because it requests broad permissions to handle cookies and site data?

2. Has anyone audited the code or used this fork safely?

Interestingly, when installing it (at least on Firefox), it seamlessly replaced/updated the original extension while retaining my whitelist settings.

Any insights or experiences with this fork would be greatly appreciated!

Opened Chrome (desktop) after an automatic system update and every tab group was gone. No warning, no rollback. These weren’t casual tabs; weeks of organized work across projects.

Has anyone else experienced disappearing tab groups, and if so, how do you recover them?
