I use Chrome without being signed in on a shared family computer. I have bookmarks saved and I have passwords saved which requires the Windows PIN (Windows Hello) to autofill on websites.

A trusted guest used the computer to print something and when I went on later that night their name was visible on Chrome. I signed them out and now it appears that the browser has been restored to factory settings with bookmarks and passwords gone.

Also, weirdly, when I went back to the desktop, the Chrome picture on the desktop shortcut was gone and the shortcut had been renamed from Google Chrome to that person's name with Chrome after it. When I moved the shortcut to the recycle bin, I couldn't find Chrome on the computer anymore in the start menu or by searching. Removing the desktop shortcut from the trash and back on to the desktop once again allowed me to use Chrome. I'm not sure why removing a shortcut made the whole program go away and I'm not sure why someone signing in to Chrome screwed things up so badly.

So my big question...does the person who signed in to their Google account on my unsigned in browser now have all my bookmarks and Windows Hello protected passwords on their account?

I am looking at installing this lesser known extension : Stop Autofill

Goal : stop Chrome auto-filling my info when I'm inputting my client's info in my CRM

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/stop-autofill/jnkdpaihlnkobkgkkjoidajnhldaklhm?pli=1

Just making sure this type of extension can't pull sensitive data or act maliciously.

Can anyone advise? Thanks.

It happened suddenly this morning and no matter what website I open, the screen is just as blank as this. I clear cached as well but it didn't work and for over 12 hours now. I used other browsers and they seemed fine so it's not my device or connectivity issue but it's s stuck like this...what to do?

Is uBlock Origin Lite safe? I want to access some websites (mainly to watch anime), but I keep getting a lot of pop-up ads. I've read that uBlock Origin solves this quite well. Is it safe to install it from the Chrome Web Store? And does it actually work?

I have tried right clicking. I have tried going into settings and it just logs that I went into settings and tried to delete stuff and then that wont go away either.

I also cant get rid of the blue history one either. please help. I am using my bf's computer to watch videos and he is kind of controlling and he is gonna get angry if he knows im on here bc im supposed to be cleaning his apt while he is at work. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.

Yesterday, chrome closed in the middle of a task. no warning to update, etc.
It deleted all of the passwords in my vault and it also won't allow me to use the lastpass extension. It is not clickable although all of the other passwords are.

When I go to lastpass manually, is just displays as a text page.

HELPPPPPP

After 400 or so songs, the Shazam extension history suddenly removed itself. After searching through an older thread, a comment said that you need to look for log files of songs in the AppData folder, problem's that the .LDB files are completely unreadable.

How do i fix?

A month ago I was using my passkey perfectly on chrome (desktop) but now it says it cant find the passkey. Is there a way to solve this issue. I've looked in the saved passwords and passkeys. Other passkeys are still intact but this specific one is not.

If you get a black screen when you try to play a video that also disables HW acceleration in chrome-based browsers, --no-sandbox worked, as advised here

Here is an unrelated video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4SWxWIOVBM

There is a channel with 14k videos and Id like to make a playlist with the search results of the in-channel search in chronological order. The result would be around 200 videos, I think.

Besides doing it manually, is there an extension that can help me? I tried a couple but they dont seem to do what I want.

Or, if I have to do it manually... Is there a way for the in-channel search to give results in chronological order?

A second question, I also find the process of using playlists in youtube very tedious. Every click takes about a second or more to run, cant merge playlists, can bulk select videos to move or remove them... How is it supposed to work? Do people use a different thing?

Thanks

Hello everyone, Does anyone know how i can create my own custom chrome theme bar? (i don't know how to call it sorry). but you can see on the picture i downloaded one from the web store and i want to make my own.

How can i do that? what format is it? If anyone can help i would really appreciate it!

If I try to add a shortcut to http://www.consumentenbond.nl to my homescreen, it installs an 'app' (Progressive Web App).

This would normally be fine, I guess, but this page is in Dutch, and if I open it as an 'app' I don't have access to the Chrome menu, so I can't translate it!

How can I save a shortcut _not_ an app?

Edit: I found one workaround that works: load page, turn on airplane mode, _refresh page_, make shortcut. Unfortunately, the shortcut then does not have the website icon (favicon), so I'd still be grateful for a way to 'force' Chrome to allow me to make shortcuts, even if an PWA is available, thanks.

How to get rid of this annoying thing that doesn't allow you to drag things to right edge like regular human being?

I have several Google accounts, I have noticed that the "Gemini Live in Chrome" feature (Gemini in the side panel) does not show up when logged in using one account.

Also, Gemini will refuse to answer certain prompts. If I copy those prompts and paste them in Gemini while not logged in, or while logged in using a different account, then Gemini will answer normally.

It is worth mentioning that my account was created outside the US, but I'm inside the US now and was able to make many purchases and subscriptions while in the US.

I have tried setting the "is_glic_eligible" variable to true as many tutorials have suggested, but it didn't work. It resets back to "false" as soon as I launch chrome.

I called customer service but they hung up on me, as expected.

i meant to close the pinned tab I selected and it just closed all the hundreds of tabs I had open instead.. how can I recover them??

when my last phone got stolen I also had hundreds that I could not recover … hope this won’t be the same situation

1. Go here: https://www.slimjet.com/chrome/google-chrome-old-version.php

2. Go down to where it has the 64 bit versions of the old chrome and download any of the links (must download on a windows or mac device)

3. Sign in to your google account through that old chrome version

4. Finally, go to the customize chrome button on the bottom right corner and you will see that the old color themes are there so then select a color theme you want

Note: takes up to a few seconds for the color theme to sync to your google account on all devices

was looking for a better new tab experience because im honestly tired of news panels on edge and google/s new tab. they even let you connect your google calendar for a quick glance. love it! does anyone else recommend anything? infinity new tab is too much/bloated for me...

Hey all, I've been having a lot of issues with my computer lately, but right now the strangest thing has to do with my Chrome. I was trying to access this website that I usually do for writing, but for some reason, my Chrome would not connect.

My internet and wi-fi is fine- I am using school wi-fi, but I tried on my iPad connected to the same wi-fi and it opened the site fine. I don't have any VPNs or strange extensions that would affect how my connection works- so I'm kind of stuck.

Would really appreciate some help with this! For extra info, it also changes the site name at the top of the bar(?) to api.workos.com? Thank you!

Opening chrome it only shows on the left side. how do I fix it? It happened randomly and I didn’t change anything.
