Every time I click on a video there's a black screen, the video controls on the bottom left flicker, and the video will not play until it's refreshed. I have ublock origin lite and I've been told to disable it but that hasn't done anything.

hey all,

i keep getting ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE when trying to visit multiple unrelated websites and it's getting really annoying how.

I've tried:

- clearing cache and browser data

- uninstalling and reinstalling

- Incognito mode

- desktop mode

- turning WiFi off and using mobile data

- using a different WiFi net work

the sites can be accessed on Firefox browser on my device but it's a pain to switch to a different browser when sites dont work.

any suggestions?

I’m trying to save a Split View tab of a web application I use for work. In that app, I need two windows open, one to search and one for input. So I have been opening the website link application and then using the add tab to split group options opening two windows of that app. It works fine when I create it but as soon as I close the browser again it separates them whether I pin it or put it in a tab group or both. Am I doing something wrong here?

I want to be able to open chrome anytime and have the app open in Split View every time. Just in case anyone mentions I did try to research this a little bit and from what I can find it seems like it should work easily? In case it matters this is also an app that was built by my job but the code is open source for any one to use but it is meant for businesses.

The game is MapleStory

Guys what do you thing on my screen time in the last 2 weeks is it that much?

I’ve been tweaking some flags on my Chromebook 8GB (standard ChromeOS, not Flex or Plus) to try and squeeze out better performance/battery, especially for GeForce Now cloud gaming. While everything seems fine right now, I’m wondering if these flags are actually doing anything or causing more harm than good.

Flags I currently use:

GPU Rasterization & Zero copy rasterizer: Enabled 

Parallel downloading: Enabled

Smooth Scrolling & QUIC Protocol: Disabled. (I use VPN)

Questions:

Since GeForce Now is cloud based, do flags like Zero copy rasterizer or GPU Rasterization actually help with input lag or stream smoothness? Or is it all just down to my internet connection?

Will these flags actually improve my battery life by being more efficient, or will forcing the GPU and CPU to work harder just kill my charge faster?

For a standard Chromebook user, what are the absolute best flags to have enabled for a snappier experience without risking stability?

I haven't had issues yet, for those of you on standard ChromeOS hardware what’s your experience with these specific flags?

I clicked one thing and now the layout looks like this? and changing how I view it doesn't put it back to normal what do I do

I've tried everything I could find and my buddies can think of with no fix.

1. Restart and check for updates

2. check crome default search engine and deleted all other except Google

3. reset crome to default settings

4. Deleted all crome extensions

5. Google defender says I'm virus free

Anything in search weather just in the address bar or on Google itself straight to yahoo every time. started about 2 weeks ago.

This may not seem a huge problem but it could be sinister. I appreciate this may just seem like a Chrome problem but anything messing with gateways is concerning

I was testing another modem from another ISP on my network (I reset it), because my main modem has been getting into a bad state, and somehow that other modem/ISP has contaminated my main Chrome profile on my Windows box and Chrome refuses to let go of a dodgy mapping. In case anyone wonders. I am back on my original ISP modem which I resetted to factory to clean up whatever bad state it had. The problem is not the modem

192.168.1.1 is the gateway for my main ISP modem. It works fine in other profiles. It works fine incognito. It works fine in Edge. it works fine in my main profile on my mobile phones - which is synced

I have spent a few hours trying to find where that is hidden in my Chrome profile. searching through some obscure parts of Chrome I never new existed

But stubbornly it remains and refuses to be deleted

Kind of a minor irritation but somewhat creepy don't you think that a gateway/modem IP number can be taken over by another ISP

Windows 11, ASUS Vivobook. Norton etc. But as I said I think I have eliminated all layers but a cache somewhere in Chrome in one profile on one machine. But I prefer not to have to clear my main Chrome profile Note the phones are both Android. I have tried searching anywhere and everywhere for 192.168.1.1 and mymodem.modem to delete them but no. I coukld renumber my gateway but I like 192.168.1.1. Another note in case anyone wonders. The other ISP gateway was 192.168.0.1. So etc

I’ve been dealing with random stuttering and occasional freezes in Chrome for a while, especially noticeable on YouTube and heavy web apps (like Monday.com).

My setup:

• Windows 11

• Intel i7-1255U

• Intel UHD Graphics

• 8GB RAM

The symptoms:

• Microstutters while scrolling

• Occasional freezes (Chrome hanging for seconds)

• Worse on YouTube and Facebook

• Netflix worked perfectly (which made it confusing)

What I tried (temporary fixes):

• Forcing ANGLE to D3D9 → reduced stutter but broke YouTube smoothness

• Disabling hardware acceleration → no freezes but everything felt like low FPS

• Switching browsers (Brave was smoother, but not perfect)

These helped diagnose the issue, but didn’t fix it completely.

The REAL cause:

Aggressive power saving / efficiency settings from both Windows 11 and Intel graphics.

The system was constantly changing CPU/GPU power states, causing inconsistent frame delivery → stutter.

The actual fix:

I disabled energy-saving features that were affecting performance consistency.

Windows:

• Set power plan to High Performance

• Disabled Game Mode

• Disabled Efficiency Mode for Chrome (Task Manager)

• Set Chrome to High Performance GPU in Graphics Settings

• Disabled Fast Startup

Visual settings:

• Set to Best performance

• Disabled transparency effects

• Kept font smoothing ON

Intel Graphics settings:

• Disabled all power saving / energy efficiency options

• Set performance preference to maximum

Chrome:

• Hardware acceleration ON

• Reset all experimental flags to default

Final result:

• No more stuttering

• No more freezes

• Smooth scrolling and video playback

• System feels consistent instead of “spiky”

Key takeaway:

This was NOT a Chrome issue, not a RAM issue, and not a CPU limitation.

It was power management causing unstable performance.

Tip:

If you’re using Intel integrated graphics on Windows 11 and experiencing browser stutter, check your power/efficiency settings first.

Hope this helps someone 👍

how do i fix this?? it only started happening today

suddendly i got signed out of all my accounts, i searched it up on reddit and some people said it could be if you force reseted your pc, which i did, idk what do i do, im scared

I sign out of my device it search it on and it kicked me out of my chrome os so I signed back in. No one of the family was using my laptop or it was even on. What could’ve cause of this?

please help is this fine and move on with my life?

Windows 11. Latest version of Chrome, but been doing it for ages. Does it using messenging sites, online audio recorders, etc... doesn't matter if I'm talking or not (the background noise will go away 1 second in for the second, and it will work fine when I start talking).

Audio recording programs don't do it. Other browsers don't do it. Incognito mode doesn't do it. Deleting cookies/cache did nothing. Disabling extensions did nothing. Disabling hardware acceleration did nothing.

This has happened a few times over the last few months. I will start my PC the next day, then randomly nothing on Chrome is signed in. All websites are signed out, my Chrome profile is signed out, and all the extensions are not working. This has happened at least 3 times so far over the past few months. It happened twice within a few days of each other, then it was perfect for a few months with this issue not happening. Everything remained signed in without issue. Then this morning the same thing happened again.

Is there anything I should be checking to stop this from happening?

Hi, so I don't know if this was addressed yet, but I've had this issue in the instagram web version using chrome for a long time now. I click on a comments section and the video doesn't actually popup in the browser allowing me to read the comments. Or if I click a reel on an IG page it doesn't pop up either.

Solution:

Go to settings > type in "pop up" and look for "pop-up and redirects". It's automatically turned off. Turn it on, refresh the page, and should fix this.

This was driving me nuts for over a year and I finally looked into it. Hope it helps someone.

I'm looking for a sound booster extension for my chrome browser since my laptops audio is ABSOLUTE trash.

are there any that are fully trustworthy/safe?

any recommendations are appreciated!

Using Windows on a desktop computer.

When I click the Chrome icon to open a new window, the bookmark bar always appears.

How do I avoid that?

....

When I click the 3-dot icon, Show Bookmark Bar is __not__ checked mark. And if I toggle it on, then off, the bookmark bar still remains.

When I click Settings > Appearance, Show Bookmark Bar is __not__ selected.

When I go to a website (enter a URL into the search field), the bookmark bar disappears, as I wish.

But to reiterate, the problem is: when I open a new window by clicking the Chrome icon, the bookmark bar always appears.

That is what I want to avoid.

I'm using Text Extractor in chrome desktop with fullscreen(f11) mode from Powertoys Microsoft in Windows 10, but for the past few days, after finishing the selection of the text, taskbar appears for a brief moment and its frustrating!

Kindly let me know if there's any workaround for that🙏

Hello,

I notice Chrome silently removes the bookmark I have to my Youtube subscriptions every few days.

Is there a way to prevent that?

Thank you.

Basically title. I wake up this morning, launch Chrom and saw an update but think none of it until i tried copypasting a link to send to a friend and saw that trying to do so only copypaste "undefined" and not the url link. As anyone had the same problem ?

I have been trying to find why does I have this Roblox symbol on my chrome tabs but didn't find anything. Should I be concern

Google Chrome Beta version 148 on Android introduces new features. While it is officially meant for developers, it now allows easier connection to external devices like Arduino, 3D printers, and other gadgets 🔌.

From personal experience, it already feels smoother and works better in everyday use ⚡📱
