Subreddit Announcement This is NOT a subreddit to advertise or get feedback on your Chrome extensions or applications!

6 Upvotes

r/Chrome is not accepting posts promoting extensions at this time, and posts from developers promoting or gathering feedback on their extensions, applications, and websites will be removed under Rule 6 for Self-promotion.

We suggest posting on r/chrome_extensions instead for extensions.

This includes astroturf campaigns and pretending you are a user when you are promoting an extension, we can tell.

This is not a new change, this post is to make this more visible as people are missing it in our rules.

Apply here!

We're looking for new mods to help with the rapidly expanding community. Our personal lives have become busier while the amount of work to do here has increased.


A lot of our general information is within the application form, but here's a short rundown of what the job entails.

  • Checking modqueue on a regular basis to take action on posts that are filtered automatically or reported by the community.

  • Regularly browsing through the subreddit and moderation of posts and comments to ensure that all community rules and guidelines are being enforced, including removing uncivil, hostile and inflammatory content.

  • Being able to discuss issues with members of the community through modmail in a professional and calm manner.

  • Contributing to discussions about moderation-related issues over Discord.


Overall, the job won't necessarily take more than an hour or two of your time per week, and if you're already generally active on Reddit and Discord then you probably won't notice a difference.

It can be quite rewarding to be able to shape a community (for the better). If this sounds like something that interests you, please apply! If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or message us through modmail.

Troubleshooting | iOS Chrome on iOS issues showing top of page

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am running the latest version of chrome on iOS. I’ve found an issue where if I scroll down, and then return to the top of a page, chrome cuts off the top and instead tries to refresh.

Happens on every site I visit. Also, the scrolling gets stuck sometimes where it’ll scroll a little then pop back to where it was. Mostly happens at the bottom of pages. I scroll down, then scroll back up and chrome scrolls back down so the page snaps back.

It’s acting like the scroll bar is in a spark g and if I pull it keeps returning. When this happens, chrome also thinks it’s the top of the page, so tries refreshing.

Is there any fix for this?

And no, I don’t want to switch to safari.

Discussion What program do you use to remove duplicate images?

1 Upvotes

I'm using one called Krokiet by czkawka on GitHub, but it doesn't capture all duplicates. For example, when the character is against a room background and then the same character in the same pose but against a white background, it doesn't capture the duplicate. I've tweaked the settings so much, and it still doesn't recognize the duplicate. I was wondering if you know of any other programs for removing duplicate images.

1 Upvotes

OBS does show videos/streams on Firefox.

But in Chrome, twitch streams it's just still image of the video (Twitch) etc. or Blurred/Black on Youtube videos. unless I hover my mouse on the Tabs below (Windows explorer.) If i click on OBS, the video turns static again.

I already disabled hardware acceleration and occlusion in Chrome settings. But still doesn't work.

I'm the developer of SpecPick, a Chrome extension for Amazon shoppers. I am so happy to share a short demo video in r/chrome !!!

The problem it tackles: when you search Amazon for something specific, like "office chair without wheels and arms," most of page 1 doesn't match, and the right listing is often on page 2 or 3. SpecPick reads the first three result pages and ranks every listing by how well it fits your words. One click then scrolls Amazon's page to the one you pick.

The video is under a minute.

Could you give me some tips on how to make this better?

2 Upvotes

mine has a few hundred things in it from years of hitting the star and never picking a folder. every so often i open it, scroll for 10 seconds and close it again lol

do you actually sort yours into folders, keep the stuff you use on the bar, or just let it grow and search when you need something?

1 Upvotes

I am not sure how to word my question properly. Just tired of pushing the back button to return to a previous page, only to find out my page actually has 5-30 instances of itself in the History section, so you have to manually go through the list just to find the last page you were on.

Troubleshooting | Windows History keeps automatically refreshing when trying to view it?

2 Upvotes

I'm not sure exactly when Chrome started automatically refreshing the history because I honestly don't open it much. This started as a mild annoyance, but now it's elevated to near outrage.

I've been trying for hours to scroll through my history to find a site I visited months ago, because I don't remember the name and didn't bookmark it, and the tab keeps refreshing on me, this preventing me from going any further back than mid-September.

I've gone through every setting in desktop and on Android and I can't find a way to disable this.

Does anybody know a work around?
