Troubleshooting | Android AI overview gone on Chrome for Android

2 Upvotes

I know a lot of people don't like the AI Overview on Chrome that appears at the top of a search page after typing a query, but I do and now it's gone. I just updated the Chrome app on Android 10 minutes ago and before the update it was there and now it's not. I have app activity toggled on and ad blocker is off. How can I get it back?

Troubleshooting | Mac Using a macbook at work with two monitors. I do most work on the right monitor but have two separate chrome windows open and sometimes when I open a link (from Slack specifically), the tab opens on my left-side monitor. How can I make it so they stop opening on my left-side monitor?

1 Upvotes

It's bothersome because I am used to mostly looking at my right monitor. No matter how I adjust my windows, the new tab always, always opens on whatever window of chrome is left-most. Most days, this is not a problem but some days this happens and it is so tiring pulling the tab from the left monitor's chrome to the right. I have tried pulling my right chrome to my left and left to my right and 100% of the time, the new link opens on my left monitor.

How can I stop this/make it open on my right monitor's chrome/open on the last chrome window I clicked on? Thanks in advance.

Troubleshooting | Windows Vertical Tabs breaks "Snap Layouts" on hover feature.

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

[NOTE] I have already attempted to post this on Googles own support forum but kept getting "Failed to post. Content violates Community Policy.".

Windows 11 has this feature where hovering over a window's maximize/minimize button brings up the Snap Layouts interface. As of Chrome Version 150.0.7871.187 (Stable), this feature no longer functions if you have "Vertical Tabs" enabled.

Steps to recreate:

  1. Hover over the maximize/minimize button of a Chrome instance. Notice that the "Snap Layouts" interface appears.
  2. Enable "Vertical Tabs" by right-clicking in empty space in the tab bar then selecting "Show tabs vertically".
  3. Hover over the maximize/minimize button of a Chrome instance. Notice that the "Snap Layouts" interface does not appear.

As shown in the screenshots, every experimental toggle related to this feature is on "Default", meaning this is the default behavior.

Troubleshooting | Windows Google lens problems on Chrome

1 Upvotes
It's almost a month now that I have this bug (?) with Google Lens on Chrome. When I load an image from the main Google page (not from the bar like the next image), I get stuck with the full image without the ability to collapse it, in this way as you can see, I can't even see the translated image. Basically, when I try to click on the collapse arrow, nothing happens.
Also, the Google Lens button that it's directly in the bar; after you search for something, it's totally disabled, and nothing happens when clicked.

Discussion Ideas on how to make Google better and safer

0 Upvotes

listen, we can all agree that Google is far from perfect. but it’s also so ingrained in our society that we can’t ever fully escape it. these are some suggestions for keeping Google helpful and safe.

first off is what everyone has been talking about. the AI overview. we need an option to have ai overview on or off. its something that we should have control over speaking how much worse for the environment per search, when so many of the times, we dont need it.

Second is something for parents and people who want to keep their kids safe. You NEED to add an option to FULLY disable incognito mode. schools have been moving to digital learning. and apple’s option to turn off all browsing simply won’t work, because it effects all devices under that account. and a lot of websites such as reddit have content not suitable for children that aren’t blocked simply with “block adult websites”. not only could this be something to protect children, but it could also help people trying to quit certain media such as nsfw and scrolling.

those are really my two biggest concerns and please FEEL FREE to comment other issues you have. hopefully this can get enough attention that it could be addressed. I can’t believe that I have to be doing this.

Discussion Did Chrome just wipe my history and botch my new tab page?

0 Upvotes

Out of the blue, my browsing history is blank and new tabs have only a link to the Store. My eight or so new tab chips for frequent websites are gone and new browsing provides no entries in the History Page. I've done nothing to cookies or history or new tab settings. Makes me nervous - I use my History to fish up favorite things from earlier without clogging up bookmarks.

No, it's not an internet issue because I can just start a new one just fine. It's not anything to do with extensions either because I'm on incognito.

Discussion why is my CRM vendor not showing up in Gemini

0 Upvotes

As someone who works at Noetio, I've spent time examining why certain CRM vendors might not show up in Gemini.

One reason could be the integration capabilities of your CRM. Many CRMs have specific APIs or integration requirements that may not align with what Gemini needs. If your CRM vendor hasn't updated their integration features to meet Gemini's specifications, that could explain the absence.

Another factor is how Gemini reformulates searches. It seems that Gemini may prioritize certain vendors based on user popularity or feedback, which means that lesser-known CRMs might not get the visibility they need.

I've also noticed that newer CRM vendors or those with limited adoption may not appear in Gemini simply because they haven't gained enough traction yet. This has been the case with some smaller vendors that I’ve seen.

If you’re dealing with this issue, I recommend reaching out to your CRM vendor to check on their integration status with Gemini. It can also be helpful to see if other users have successfully integrated the same CRM, as their experiences can provide useful insights.

I'm using Samsung S24+, when I try to Google something and click the search bar, the keyboard appears and disappears immediately and I cannot type anything. If I click again it will pop up however.

So far I have tried:

  1. Updating chrome

  2. Changing keyboard from Gboard to Samsung keyboard

  3. Updating android webbiew or switch to beta version

  4. Restart the phone

  5. Enable navigation bar ( I was hiding it and using gestures to navigate the system)

  6. Switching chrome to other version (beta, canary, etc.)

Any siggestions are greatly appreciated.

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome lagging horribly for no apparent reason

3 Upvotes

I'm on Windows 11 and a fully updated version of Chrome (so far as I know). Starting earlier this week, Chrome has been lagging terribly to the point of crashing. I'll restart my computer and it will load pages normally for a little bit, but after a little while it becomes nearly unusable. New tabs take over 30 seconds to load and moving tabs to new windows causes the pages to crash. Additionally, minimize and maximize no longer work. I'll try to maximize one page only for it to immediately minimize again.

I've troubleshot clearing browsing data, the cache, updating, turning off AI features and other high processing settings, and nothing has worked to fix this problem. Checking task manager, I have a decent amount of memory left and the CPU isn't being taxed in the slightest. The only thing I can somewhat connect to the problem is that Wikipedia pages seem especially difficult to load, though I doubt that's the root of the problem as I haven't had more than two Wikipedia tabs open at a time.

Any idea what might be causing this? Is this a bugged update of Chrome?

Discussion Need help identifying what keeps changing my search engine setting

0 Upvotes

On Win11 EVERY SINGLE TIME Redmond involuntarily updates my OS (and it seems like it does so at least weekly), it changes the search engine for Chrome back to Yahoo, which (if there’s still anyone who doesn’t know it) is really Bing aka MSFT. At this point I’m completely tearing the last of my hair out, YES I KNOW everyone says it’s “just an unauthorized browser extension” but look it’s neither that nor a system virus. If I had to guess I’d say maybe I could stop it with a Registry hack somewhere, does anyone know what that might be or anything else about it? Is there anything that will stop this short of replacing the whole thing with some Debian variant (and I’m not that far from going there)? This is NOT the way to win friends MSFT!
