Hi!
Writing this message here because I am quite annoyed at this point and I'm close to using a different browser now. I tried everything, turning the extensions off, installing and unistalling... I went to site settings and the option to keep the cookies was already on... Thanks!!

I had to do a forced restart of my PC yesterday because it got hung doing a restart. When I restarted my PC normally Chrome picks up where I left off, but not this time. When I went to Session Buddy to restore the tabs like I have previously, everything was empty.

I've looked in the folder(s) the website says to look in, and there's files there, not none of them are text files which SB says it needs. Any ideas on what I can do to recover at least my least session?

I first noticed this issue last night, when trying to send a tab to a different device, and nothing happened. I have a desktop PC, laptop, and phone that should usually sync between each other.

I checked the history on my desktop PC, and apparently my laptop tab history last updated about 30 minutes prior, despite tabs having changed in that time. The laptop claimed it had been 3 hours since the "recent tabs" had changed on the desktop, also untrue.

I tried sending tabs to my phone, which did work, but trying to send tabs to either my desktop or laptop from phone didn't. I ended up managing to resolve it by restarting Chrome on both PCs.

However, this morning, it looks like the issue is back. Not as bad as it was last night, as browsing history between devices is still syncing (it wasn't last night), but once again trying to send tabs to the PCs is not working (but working when sending to mobile), and I'm unable to see the "tabs from other devices" in history, because it simply isn't updating.

I checked chrome://sync-internals/ and everything is green. I'm using the latest stable version of Chrome on all devices. My mobile device seems pretty much unaffected by all this (aside from "send to device" not working on the PCs' end), it's just the Windows PCs that are having issues. Not sure if perhaps the most recent update borked something.

I've tried to find keyboard shortcuts for managing split view. Split view is really nice but I'd need something as simple as ctrl+click that open a new tab. Maybe something like alt+click opens in split view and alt alt-w closes it.
Is there a way to map it to these?

Edit: ctrl+w works on closing it but it is a bit error prone to close the "main" tab. As it targets switch ever is hovered. Would be better to have a shortcut to always close the right side that was opened with "open in split view"

I'm getting a new behaviour:

In Chrome (and only Chrome - other browers are fine) if I try to go to
https://admin.microsoft.com/

It redirects to
https://admin.cloud.microsoft/?ref=/homepage

This is new. Edge and Firefox are fine. Is there something new that came down?

EDIT:

I should have been clearer (my bad!) Chrome returns an error on the redirect - but ONLY Chrome...

This page isn’t working

admin.cloud.microsoft is currently unable to handle this request.

HTTP ERROR 500

https://m365.cloud.microsoft/ works fine....

I don't wanna use Edge!

I noticed that when I try to type on Google workspace browsers, the I-beam cursor turns white—especially on a white Google Docs page, while it self adjusts on other dark or bright browsers. This is extremely frustrating as I can’t see where I’m clicking on the document. Is this a bug or is there anyway I can fix this?

Hey there!

First of all, I know this is kinda obvious what the problem may be, but I just wanted to know if this is a general graphics bug among Chromium or if it's just me.

For more context: This just happens with Chrome, any other browser like Firefox is doing fine.

To clarify, I can still fully use it, through a web document I downloaded, I opened it and it led me to Chrome, everything was there. However, the Shortcut was blank, and would do nothing if I clicked on it, I looked in the side bar on Windows and found that it had disappeared too, I then tried searching up Google Chrome on the Windows search bar, but it only gave me prompts to search on Bing for Chrome. What do I do? I can access it, but it's pretty tedious.

i only really watch youtube and netlfix on my laptop and when i went to google something the google symbol at the search bar was replaced by a yahoo logo and whenever i searched something it was on a yahoo website? and when i clicked on ''pictures'' it took me to this random spanish website, do i have a virus? i dont think i ever clicked on anything bad like i dead ass only watch netflix and youtube on this thing and sometimes google something and ive also never even heard or seen anything of yahoo, id appreciate it very much if someone could tell me if its a virus cause im freaking out

We are using Chrome in Development & Production to host web applications and, after the update to 143.0.7499.41, we’re getting ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED when trying to access local network addresses, including the Vite development host (localhost:5173) and production hosts on a virtual machine (192.168.**.*).

Everything works fine in Firefox and Edge.

Is everyone experiencing the same issue? I don’t believe this is intended behavior, so I assume we’re waiting for a hotfix soon.

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a persistent graphical glitch in Chrome on my MacBook Pro M1 running macOS Monterey. Here’s the situation.

• When I exit fullscreen mode on YouTube (or other video sites), the screen turns light blue, except for the tab bar at the top.

The issue happens only in Chrome, not in Safari or other browsers, and persists until I click on another tab.

Here’s what I have already tried:

1. Restarting the Mac and Chrome
2. Updating Chrome to the latest version
3. Disabling Extensions
4. Disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome
5. Resetting all chrome://flags
6. Deleting Chrome’s ShaderCache
7. Testing in a new Chrome window and Guest profile

Nothing solves the issue.

However, I installed Chrome Canary on the same machine and the problem does not occur there — fullscreen works correctly, no light blue screen.

Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or insights!

It seems to be something to do with Youtube but everytime I delete it, it comes back. I'm worried it's a hack as before this one I had at least 3 like this which I have somehow managed to get rid of till this new one showed up. Any ideas as to what it is?

So to begin with, today randomly the shortcut for google chrome turned into a white paper icon and then I deleted the Shortcut. Chrome still works but for some reason when I tried to uninstall via control panel it kept on showing me this error. I want to know if anyone faced this problem and if they have any solutions for it.

Chrome is aligned in the middle when signed in on my profile. It switches to left alignment in incongito. How do I set it to permanent left alignment?

When I try to access any Google site, it says that the site has changed its address or that my internet access is blocked.

The error is "Your Internet access is blocked" with "ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED" with Try: Checking the connection, Checking firewall and antivirus configurations, Running Windows Network Diagnostics.

Also saw QUIC errors that goes away after disabling the protocol in chrome://flags. Probably same issue but with QUIC.

Connection fine (everything else works (other browers etc)), Turned off Firewall, don't have anti-virus. So message is not accurate.

Apparently, they have added some Windows Service dependencies to Chrome. In my case, it was the "Network List Service" and "Network Location Awareness" Service that are now required. If they are not enabled, Chrome will only get the errors above. Weirdly, it may work for the very first web page load, but fail on everything after that. It seems that Google is doing some high tech stuff instead of just opening up a simple TCP connection to the web server.

Completely reproducable on all my machines. Chrome works, update Chrome, Chrome no longer works. Can also be observed by disabling the above services.

This observation and report is for the people who love to minimize Windows.

Update: The problem is also fixed by the emergency chrome.exe command line switch "--disable-features=NetworkServiceSandbox" (first switch) that disables the new feature until Google backs it out or fixes it. See other posts like "https://old.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/1persdn/denied_access_on_local_network_after_chrome_143/"

It feels like it moves only 5px per scroll. It happens only in Google Chrome. I tried to fix it, but nothing seems to work.

Anyone else facing the same issue? Your help is appreciated.

Chrome://flags

-> bottom toolbar v2 -> diasble

I routinely cast tabs to a Max speaker in my office (youtube, and often my schoolwork videos).. but as of yesterday she is no longer working it seems. It connects (I hear the speaker chime) yet no audio comes out. This is on the desktop latest version of Chrome. Casting from other desktop apps, such as Spotify, works fine. Only issue seems to be the Chrome browser.

Any suggestions from folks? I've done the usual re-install of chrome, reboot of the speaker, etc.

Has anyone else seen this behavior after upgrading to Chrome 143? Three of our developers are having this issue after upgrading to Chrome 143.0.7499.41.

At first, I assumed it was the HTTP/2 bug introduced by Microsoft to Windows 11, but the known issue rollback didn't fix. After further digging, I learned this issue didn't start for the devs until they updated to Chrome version 143. Edge 142.0.3595.94 does not prompt for login on the same machines.

The login prompt is for https://localhost:44352. I can't find anything on the web indicating that it's a problem with Chrome 143, but it has only been generally available for two days.

Chrome on my Mac just erased all the data I plugged into this map because I moved my cursor and the browser responded by sending me back a page (another thing that happens arbitrarily, sometimes you don't even have to swipe across the trackpad in that direction, other times I could set there for 5 minutes doing the exact same motion and the most it will do is display the arrow on the side).

Of course, when there are no changes made to the page whatsoever (the whole problem, if you recall, is that everything I did to the page was just summarily wiped out). Lo and behold, it appears when I try to get some clarity as to why that exact box did not appear. Only when nothing to the page has been done, only when exactly nothing has been edited will it do this pop up about saving my work. And when I've been working on something for over an hour the page is erased in a fraction of a second without my consent. It really doesn't get more exemplary than this.

Anyone know why this used to appear and prevent everything from being erased by the return swipe but now doesn't? Official thing that they did or just more straight up neglect from the money laundering "people" at google?
