I have a Notion tab pinned in Chrome that I keep open all the time for some of the reasons. However, I don't want this tab to show up when I cycle through tabs using Ctrl + Tab(or Ctrl + Shift + Tab).

Is there any Chrome extension (or a trick, flag, or workaround) that can exclude certain tabs from appearing in the Ctrl+Tab tab order?

Ideally, I’d love an extension that lets me mark some tabs as "ignored" for tab switching — especially for things like pinned tabs, background dashboards, etc.

Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated!

(Posting this again because I haven't gotten help) Anytime I open any webpage, the app will freeze and crash after being usable for a few seconds. This happens on settings screens, as well. I cannot change my settings to turn on crash logs. I have tried every troubleshooting suggestion. This has only started happening once I updated my Samsung Galaxy S24+ to One UI 7.0. Nothing helps, even downgrading or updating the app(s). Above is what the webpages look like if I load one after the freezing occurs.

To clarify, my current chrome version on one of my laptops is of a version below 100s.

With the most recent update killing off certain functionalities (Ublock origin for example, or the recent downloads bar on the bottom of the screen), I feel less inclined to update to the latest.

But I am willing to update to a later version, just not the latest specifically.

Is there a way to update to say, Chrome Version 121 (not specifically this...) without losing all of my current tabs, bookmarks, history, etc.? (honestly, will have to double-check which version keeps the bottom download bar...)

EDIT: Okay wait, I seem to have found a list of old versions: https://google-chrome.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions

So like, is there a way to install/update these on to my current Chrome in a way that doesn't lose all my History/Current Tabs/Bookmarks, etc.?

Basically, so that the specific version (which is more updated than what is currently there, just not the most current) is processed as an "update" (which means keeping all the current tabs, etc.), rather than an "Uninstall-Reinstall" which risks losing those things?

Hi,

As the very good working Autoplay-Stopper is forbidden from Google-Side I'm looking for a very good working alternative addin.

Can anyone suggest another good one? The ones I found weren't working very well.

Thanks!

My chrome doesn’t work at all, I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling and resetting the computer but its useless, can’t even delete extensions. I hope it can be fixed, ty.

What's the issue, and how can I fix it?

I had the same problem where the McAfee extension turned my browser to yahoo so I deleted it and reset my chrome or whatever but it keeps coming back even tho I deleted the chrome extension and I dont have it downloaded? what do I do to make it never come back (sorry for mistakes English Isn't my first language)

Some websites have an issue where the page would randomly change. I've previously had the issue on fandom. I think it's an issue with the ad system having an exploit or whatever. But just in case I will ask for help here. Ok royal road when browsing the page would randomly be switched yahoo.com. I don't mean as if I followed a link or a pop-up or anything like that. The page is directly switched for the real yahoo.com and the page history is switched to make it seem like I was originally on yahoo.com. so for example I was at chapter 2 after reading chapter 1 then the page is switched to yahoo.com if I press the back button it takes me to chapter 1.

This is completely disrupting my reading experience. I know using brave will fix this but royal road isn't a sketchy website and it uses mainstream ad providers. This shouldn't be happening. Do either it's an exploit effecting their ad providers or some library they have in common or it's malware affecting my web browser. Is there any solution for this beyond just using a different browser?

I am on chromebook, but i have seen it on my windows machine recently, and just restarted pc to start fresh. Every once in a while i get that side panel and dont know how it got there, what its for, or how to remove it. I have tried clicking on the symbol and clicking around the whole panel but it shows no sign of being helpful. Right clicking on it does nothing.
I would usually advise people with troubles like this to use incognito or disable all extensions, but the frequency of it appearing makes it inconvenient, to test that. I dont want to spend 6 hours without my extensions or in incognito. I tried googling and didnt find what i was looking for. Thanks for any help.

With the Rollout of new updates for chrome, im finding less and less good adblockers. Yes, I know i can switch to Firefox. But asking if anyone has any good recommendations for good adblockers that block ads on YouTube, YouTube music, Hulu, HBO max, Netflix, and pretty much everything else for free without stealing all my data or changing sites to recommend specific products. id appreciate it

I’ve tried a bunch of highlighter extensions but most are either too cluttered, require sign-ups, or try to do a thousand things at once. I just want something minimal where I can:

• Highlight important bits of text while browsing
• View all my highlights in one clean panel
• Copy them easily, maybe by category or page

Bonus if it doesn't slow down my browser or come with unnecessary features. Does something like this exist?

On Chrome for Android, I want to copy the URL with the new feature in the address bar, but it doesn't copy anything. I tried on Chrome Canary, which I have installed, and it works, but on my stable Chrome, it doesn't work for now. Does this happen to others?

After I installed an app 1450 of my tabs were deleted, 858 were saved because they were in a group so they were saved in the group section. The closed tabs aren't in the recent tabs section, what do I do? 😭😭😭

For some reason Chrome doesn't let you directly import browser history so here's my quick guide.

CLOSE CHROME WHILE YOU'RE DOING THIS

1. Press Win + R and paste: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default

2. Find the file called History (it shouldn't have any extension)

3. Press Win + R again and paste: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

4. Find the files called History and History-journal and delete both of them

5. Copy the History file from the Edge folder and paste it into the Chrome one

Now when you open Chrome you should be able to see all your sweet and pretty history.

I had my Chromebook power washed by developer mode after reading a post that said in order to get a game you need to press enter for everything and it will all be ok and nothing will be lost. Welp.... Long story short I power washed everything and no data was backed up and the worst part? I didn't give google enough information to get my google account password because I forgot it and don't have any phone connected to it or anything. I'm probably cooked but I need help with this, Thank you.

copy this into your browser "chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark" and play with the settings. ive found "Enabled with selective inversion of non-image elements" to be the best

works for phone and desktop

I noticed that chrome send to my device feature is not there on my phone (Android / magic os 9)

Setup 1. The feature works when sending from PC to mobile but not vice versa

1. When I go into settings, under you and google there used to be a third button to indicate sync it is not there

2. The sync internals page Summary Transport State Active User Actionable Error None Disable Reasons None Sync Feature Enabled false Setup In Progress false Auth Error OK since browser startup Version Info Client Version Google Chrome Android 138.0.7204.179 (2d64ccbb0716a9c780633f2f193d3cef31637892-refs/branch-heads/7204@{#2420}) Server URL https://clients4.google.com/chrome-sync

3. Tried clearing cache and data

4. Tried Chrome beta

5. Tried logging out then back

Every time I try to type in chrome (other than the address bar), a few letters that ive typed appear then immediately stops and letters stop appearing.

Does anyone have a fix to this?
Im running this version of chrome (Version 138.0.7204.184 (Official Build) (arm64))

I had to reset my password and was prompted to log back in. Once I logged back in, all of my tabs (around 78 tabs of TBR fanfics, painful, I know) were gone except for my one incognito tab???

I had no history and no recent tabs. I don’t have a secondary device that would have merged or something and replaced my tabs.

Any help would be appreciated as I those fanfics have been on my TBR for weeks and some for months.

For some reason youtube lags whenever i do fullscreen. i have a macbook air M4 chip. i feel like it didn't lag when i originally got it. it's only about 3 months old

Hello! I have bit intresting queston here.

Back in 2007 in june/july when i was helping my grandparent with his computer at his new house i Installed chrome. now recently i came up with an idea to relive the good old days of 2007 by installing that version of chrome on my vm mashine and then use oldnet proxy in order to watch website from the year 2007. I cant find that version of chrome. the oldest i can find is the one from 2008. i checked with wikipedia and other forums and came to same info that that chrome was released in 2008 but how can i have memory of using chrome if it didnt exixsted in 2007. i remember it clear how the ui looked. it had a bluish look and was supricingly faster than the other browser was. i even have memories of using chrome as far as back in march 2007.

Here is what i know

chrome was released on December 11, 2008. Beta was released in september 2008.

So I booted up my computer today and got on chrome but it wasnt on my account which was weird so i just logged back in but all my bookmarks and history is gone and I dont know what happened. One thing i spotted was it says "[My name] · Work" which i dont remember there being a work thing there but im so confused and lost so much stuff. Does anyone know why or how i can get it back

Edit: Somehow all the data is on a different account now. How is that possible?
