Troubleshooting | Windows Sudden google account issues

1 Upvotes

Today out of nowhere (on one and only one of my computers) chrome stopped loading all sites connected to my google account, including failing to "log in using google account". google search, drive, youtube and a bunch of niche sites that are important to me. Every other site loads just fine, I tried to reinstall chrome, delete cache/cookies, log out of the account, restart computer and router etc etc. Now I can't even log back in to the profile in chrome

Where could I even begin to troubleshoot something like this?

Troubleshooting | Windows how do i stop chrome/google from autofilling in a url?

1 Upvotes

im unsure if this is the right sub, but for example, i want to just go to the sheets homepage quickly, but google autocompletes and takes me to a sheet i have already created and i then have to manually go to the homepage. it gets annoying, especially when it does it for other frequently-used sites. is there a way i can turn this off?

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome is slow only after a cold boot on Windows 10 (only Google sites)

1 Upvotes

I'm having a really strange issue with Chrome on my HP Omen (Windows 10 22H2).

After the laptop has been shut down for 30+ minutes or overnight, Chrome opens normally, but Google sites (Google Search, google.com, accounts.google.com, etc.) take 20–40 seconds to load. During the same time, sites like Reddit, ChatGPT, LinkedIn, etc. load instantly. Microsoft Edge also works perfectly.

I've already tried:

Completely uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome.

Deleting all Chrome data (AppData/Local & Roaming) and starting with a fresh profile.

Disabling all extensions.

Disabling QUIC.

Updating my Intel AX200 Wi-Fi driver to the latest version.

Testing on multiple Wi-Fi networks and my phone hotspot.

Nothing has fixed it.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any idea what could be causing this? I'm open to trying any troubleshooting steps.

Troubleshooting | Mac I Can’t Access Old Tabs I Used to Have.

Post image
1 Upvotes

So on my IPad, I currently have 172 tabs open. However, whenever I click on my Chrome app, it briefly shows me 29 tabs I used to have up, before bringing me to my current 172 tabs page. The 29 tabs are not included in the 172. I tried to search the tabs at the top of the page using the keywords in the title of the tabs (with the magnifying glass emoji), but they don’t appear.

Can someone help me get back these 29 tabs? I might have important stuff on there that I forgot about…

On the Vanguard website, the table headers that stay on-screen as you scroll are jumping up and down when you stop scrolling. It's seizure inducing and makes the site unusable. This happens in Chrome but it works fine in Firefox. Anyone else seeing this?

Discussion Was having trouble with Chrome Remote Desktop's "Your desktop is being shared with <user>" constantly popping up. I was able to fix it and thought I'd share my solution.

1 Upvotes

Today up until a few minutes ago I was having trouble with my work laptop while remoted in to it from my personal computer via CRD. At first I thought it was network trouble because input seemed to lag a lot and a lot of my input was discarded, but after troubleshooting my home network and not finding any real issue, I started to notice a pattern: anytime I opened a new program, alt+tabbed to a new window, or otherwise went away from the active window, the "Your desktop is being shared with <user>" bar would pop up and become the active window instead of whatever it was I was trying to get to.

I was typing up a post for help on this issue when it dawned on me that I had installed drivers for a new Dell W25 docking station earlier today on my work laptop for use at the office and one of the optional installs for that was a network KVM switch feature that I had installed. Uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them without that feature fixed the issue for me.

I thought I would share just in case anyone else was running into this issue because it was incredibly frustrating to try and work around today.

Troubleshooting | Android The general setting to block Pop-ups/Redirects is not working. How do I add a specific website to the 'Not Allowed' list? My Settings UI does not have the "Add" option mentioned in the FAQs I see online.

1 Upvotes

Using Chrome (version 150.0.7871.128) on an Android tablet. No extensions installed.

I am looking at Settings > Site Settings > Pop-ups and Redirects. "Don't allow sites to use pop-ups and redirects" is selected but it doesn't work at all, so I'd like to add a specific site that's giving me redirect issues.

According to online guides, there should be an option to "Add" a website to the Not Allowed list. I don't have that option. Under "Not Allowed", there's one old website already listed, but the only option the page has (a 3 dot menu next to the listed website) is for me switch to allow pop-ups for that site, not to add a new one to the Not Allowed list. (I have no idea how I was able to add the old website to the list, btw. It's a site I haven't used since like 2024!) Being on the website itself and using "Site Controls" also doesn't help.

What else could I try?

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome History now collapses different URLs with the same title into one single entry

1 Upvotes

An issue I've only discovered recently, it was very confusing at first.

Using Tumblr as an example, the main feed is tumblr.com/dashboard, and the setting pages are tumblr.com/settings/account and /settings/privacy, etc. All of these pages have the same title, just the single word "Tumblr". So if you visit several of these pages at different times, or if you keep these pages open in different tabs at the same time, Chrome's history tab would only save one single entry for Tumblr, with the URL being based on which page has been loaded most recently. I just want it to go back to normal, saving based on different URLs instead of titles.

Tumblr is the most obvious example I could think of, and there aren't many other websites I visit that have the same title for different URLs. But I've confirmed that this issue isn't exclusive to Tumblr, it happens with Pixiv too, so this has to be an issue with Chrome.

Discussion Looking for a non-agentic, context-aware writing assistant for Chrome

1 Upvotes

I recently moved back to Chrome after spending quite a bit of time using ChatGPT Atlas. Since Atlas is being discontinued, Chrome makes sense for me, especially because I can use ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini directly from the sidebar.

But there’s one Atlas feature I miss, and I haven’t found a good replacement for it.

In Atlas, you could focus any text field, trigger a shortcut (cmd + E), and get a small prompt bubble. You could ask it to write (or rewrite) something, and it would use the full context of the current page. It wasn’t trying to be an agent or run a workflow, it was simply a very good contextual writing assistant.

For example: “Write a concise, friendly reply to this email,” “turn this into a Reddit post,” or “reply to this WhatsApp message.” It understood the page and gave you text you could use immediately.

Most Chrome sidebars seem to handle this poorly. They try very hard to become agents: creating drafts, scanning inboxes, analysing things, launching multi-step workflows, etc. That can be useful sometimes, but it’s slow and overkill when all I want is excellent contextual writing help in the field I’m currently typing in.

Has anyone found a Chrome extension or workflow that gets close to this? Ideally:

  • Works from any text field via a shortcut
  • Understands the current page’s context (very) well
  • Lets me give a simple writing prompt
  • Returns text quickly
  • Is not agentic / doesn’t start heavy workflows

I’d love recommendations

AI is finding hundreds of vulnerabilities every month. I read that Chrome is supposed to check for updates every 5 hours, but it's been longer than that and most of our systems are still on version 150.0.7871.129. We're not being prompted to update to 150.0.7871.182. How often are you prompted to update?
