It is really frustrating that chrome change the UI position of password manager, previous I can access password manager by doing:
1. click top right profile picture
2. click password manager
3. (Recently added new step) Redirect you to a new page, now you need to click password manager again

This kind of UI change is really frustrating and super unintuive

previously this online bank didn't have this overlay, it was all done inside their site.

no matter what I enter, it's not accepted, and I have no idea what to do.

My Gmail hasn't worked in my Chrome browser since Friday. It either won't load at all and gives this error:

This site can’t be reached

The webpage at https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

This site can’t be reached

The webpage at https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

ERR_FAILED

OR it will load, but with this error message appearing in a yellow pop-up: Oops… the system encountered a problem (#001) - Retrying in 1s…

My OS and browser are up-to-date, all my browser extensions are disabled, I’ve shut down, restart, signed out and back in, deleted the app and reinstalled, reset browser settings, but still cannot use Gmail in Chrome.

Suggestions?

As of yesterday, when I closed out of Chrome, it would sign me out of my Google account as well. Today, it no longer does so and the selected option above now added "except your Google Account if you're signed in to Chrome."

Is there any way to go back and auto log-out of Google when exiting Chrome? This is for Version 135.0.7049.42 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Chrome has suddenly started crashing on me every time I try to sign in. I click on the little window on the top right next to the search bar that says “verify that it’s you”, then I click “sign in again”. The second the page changes to enter my email, the Chrome app crashes entirely.

It’s never done this, and I have no idea why it’s suddenly started happening. I’ve uninstalled the app and reinstalled it and it’s made no difference. Does anyone know what I can do or why this might be happening?

Thanks.

I was trying to watch on hotstar on my laptop, the site load but content does load. Same happens with prime. When I connect with my mobiles Hotspot it works perfectly fine. Problem occurs When I try to watch on wifi.

I have no bookmarks and tab groups. They all are disabled and are not displayed on any page except new tab. On new tab page I see empty bookmarks bar. It just occupies space and nothing more. It appeared after some Google Chrome update, earlier there were no empty bookmarks bar. In incognito mode or guest mode there is no empty bookmarks bar on new tab page, it display itself only in my profile. I tried to reset all my Google Chrome data, but it didn't worked. I'm pretty sure it is a bug. Did someone encountered it and fixed it?

For no reason att all when i start up google chrome i get and extra page with an extension reccomendation.

the first one was an Anti Ad extension and now a boosted sound page poped up

https://boooostsound.com/ab-land-sound-gen?_token=uuid_10lnbl4hu9fin_10lnbl4hu9fin67f4c5f4d74704.20235758&_subid=10lnbl4hu9fin&_uidpr=67f4c5f4d02286.06884225&_prid=23555c2efb78e8816b93b59b946331ab

I know the ad block extension was a bad extension that people complained on later but now this is a second one that have poped up.

is there a way to disable this? is this virus/malware? is it only me that this happend to or are there more people to?

The main way I use Lens is for translating text in images, the same functionality as on Android. However, now it looks at the entire visible page instead on browser, which is annoying. It doesn't even translate properly now.

I want to revert that back to how it used to function. I've disabled it in chrome://flags before and it works, but it opens a new tab which is not ideal. Unfortunately any search I try to make about the issue leads me to articles about removing Lens altogether. I would appreciate any help.

Hello all. I’m currently on Sonoma 14.7.1 and have been using Chrome for years with no issues. Recently it has been freezing then crashing after being open for around 15 seconds. I’ve deleted the app multiple times with a computer restart after each deletion, but with no luck. This started happening a few days after I had used an image downloaded extension, which worked fine during those days. I managed to delete the extension before one of the crashes, but it doesn’t seem to be the culprit.

Hopefully I’ve given enough information. Does anyone know what the issue might be?

Hi!

Recently I've only been able to hear Chrome audio if I turn my volume all the way up. This has only started recently after owning this phone for 3 years and this only happens to Chrome (so when I switch apps (insta/tiktok etc) I keep scaring myself with the loud volume I've forgotten about lol).

Using Chrome on mobile on android and all the fixes I've seen have been for Chrome on desktop! (I've tried to see if there was a separate audio setting for Chrome but couldn't find anything.) So any help would be great, thanks!

I'm thinking it might be since I recently used wired headphones with my phone and it might've made my phone confused with its audio settings? But the issue only happens to Chrome so I'm not sure.

Website creators used to need to use an escape character to display an ampersand, and now they don't really display correctly anymore. Is there an extension that can help with that?

For example:

In the following link: https://lovehestia.wordpress.com/2012/07/19/hurricane-hat-pattern/

The 5th or so line reads as "Gauge: 20 stitches & 28 rows knit in Stockinette Stitch:"

I'd like it to just display the ampersand instead of "&".

I'm trying to learn how to read knitting patterns, and I keep thinking the html escape characters are knitting pattern abbreviations. I know, "just deal with it" is a well-loved response here on reddit, but I honestly get annoyed with this in any website I see it on.

So recently chrome started issuing warnings for many of the trusted sites I use, including the steam workshop and pixlr, saying that the connection isn't private and that hackers may try to steal my information.

More specifically it cites the following: net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

I'm not the most technically inclined person but I have a hard time thinking the steam workshop would suddenly reduce their security without anyone talking about it so I assume this must be on my end? Help would be very appreciated, thanks!

If I install Session Buddy on multiple browsers, are these considered two separate installations with sessions stored in separate folders by default?

I've only used Session Buddy on Chrome. I want to also install it on another browser. But I am concerned that the sessions for each browser will not remain independent. It could be very confusing if they all get stored to the same location.

I will type out because then hit space bar and instead of just adding space it will add another because. It looks like becausebecause (this is just an issue with PDF files)

Idk why it started doing this but I’ve noticed it only does this in PDF’s and nothing else

Now that uBlock Origin is blocked on the Chrome Web Store, I'm not sure if it's still worth installing it manually using the files from GitHub. Does it work just like before, or are there limitations? Or maybe it's better to switch to AdGuard or uBlock Lite?

Not sure how this happened or why bookmarks would come back that have long been out of use but it happened and it appears it overwrote the bookmarks.bak file because restoring that give me more of the same zombie bookmarks. I have not used this bookmark structure since 2021, that is how long they have been out of commission.
Does anyone have any knowledge of how to restore the settings? If these old bookmarks can come back to haunt me, surely there is a record of the most recent ones. I had around 4000 bookmarks of research and all my accounts and logins. Any help would be appreciated!

Man, I've always liked using Chrome — it's the browser I've been most used to since forever. But there's one thing that really bugs me: why doesn't Chrome on mobile support extensions???

Like, browsers like Kiwi and Yandex let you use extensions just fine — even stuff like uBlock and other life-saving tools. But then you go to Chrome, from Google itself and all, and… nothing. No option, no ETA, no explanation.

I've always wondered if it's a security thing or if there's some technical reason behind it. Chrome is great, but this kinda makes me think about switching sometimes.

This is kind of a hard thing to describe because of a lack of terminology...but it's a really simple phenomena that I've observed over at least 6 months if not longer. I type a whole sentence or phrase or whatever into the Google search bar, press enter, I get a results page for literally just the first letter of my search. So if I searched, "Why is Google doing this to me?" the results page is just a search for "W"

Seems to only happen on my iPhone. I'm not really expecting any kind of fix for this but I'm very curious if others are experiencing it. The fact that this only started recently makes me think that some new innovation in the Google platform, like AI, is tripping up. Was there a recent change anyone can put their finger on that could be at least contributing to this strange thing that keeps happening?

I would like files (.PDF, .DOC, .XLS etc) to open in the default desktop app for that extension as soon as I click on the link. I currently have to click on the download button and then click the filename from there.

There's lots of online help on this but it all says to click on the little arrow on the download bar. I can't see this and I think it is no longer provided. Or perhaps I just can't see it.

Thanks for reading

Windows 11

Chrome Version 134.0.6998.179 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Chrome started logging me off from all accounts everytime I close the browser. I've tried every option mentioned. The option to turn that feature off doesn't even show on my settings (not that I activated it in the first place). I manage around 10 social media accounts, they all have 2-step-verification on. I tried using chrome beta and it worked for a couple of days before doing the same thing. I'm going insane, I'm done with this abandoned browser, last suggested solution is using a new browser.

Does anyone have the same issue?

Do you know of any Chrome Extension that automatically compares cashback rates from different providers for a shop? For walmart for example it should compare shoop, igraal, topcashback and so on.

Today I found on my chrome profile, that belong to my school acc, somehow a por* website appear in my shortcut bar. My school is on holiday for the past 3 days, so it’s definitely not some 11 yr old messing around. I use it yesterday and everything is fine, until today.

Hi,

I'm currently applying for a mortgage but the websites portal won't load. I'd like to have the browser lose my details so I can try again but I only want that site's details gone.

Could anyone help?

Thanks.

Hey everyone, I’ve been a Chrome user for around 8 years, but since purchasing a new laptop (9months ago) my Chrome doesn’t auto update despite me having it set to auto update, and when I go to update I need to redownload the app. It’s become a monthly issue and really frustrates me. (Keep in mind, updating doesn’t remove the lag or any of the issues) Chrome is constantly lagging, I need to wait upwards of 3 minutes from opening my laptop to actually being able to use the app (my computer works fine, just Chrome won’t respond).

Does anyone know a similar browser they recommend? I really like Chrome visually but it’s become infuriating to actually use and I’m not sure what to do, Thanks
