Hi guys, I tipped my computer screen forward to access behind it, and it rested on my keyboard. The tab had youtube open. This image is 100% zoom. I restarted my computer and Youtube still like this. other websites are normal. How do i fix?
Most of the threads I've come across regarding old v2 extensions being disabled by Chrome/Brave have been locked since they're relatively out of date and none of the tricks they've suggested have worked out for me thus far, so I'm posting this as a Hail Mary of sorts.
Years ago I came across an extension called GrabAnyMedia which I used practically daily (in Windows 11). Most of its functionality was akin to things like VideoDownloadHelper or similar streaming video extensions, but the one function I relied on it for was the "Isolate Player" item from the right-click menu. Not only would it remove all of the garbage UI/other elements around a video but it also had the added benefit of bypassing some of those sites where you can watch for a limited amount of time (2-5 minutes) as a preview before it would stop, forcing you to refresh the window to watch another limited amount of time.
Unfortunately the author of the extension stopped updating it years ago as far as I can tell and did not respond to an email regarding its future, so I've been fruitlessly searching for an alternative or, failing that, a way of updating the version I have so that Chrome (or Brave) would accept it. Even though Chrome started blocking v2 extensions a while ago Brave was still allowing me to use it up until the most recent update in the past day or so which broke it completely.
In the absence of an alternative, is there a currently working method for forcing Chrome/Brave to allow outdated v2 extensions?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer and I apologize if this post is formatted incorrectly. I don't post frequently.
Every bookmark Icon is the default globe.
What gives?
Google Images was perfect, years ago:
I could click on an image and it displayed full-size. THAT'S WHAT EVERY USER WANTED IT TO DO.
Then I could quickly scroll through images which popped up full-size, just using the right arrow key. Which is WHAT EVERY USER WANTED IT TO DO.
I could click once on source links, and the page would just open in a new tab. WHICH IS WHAT EVERY USER WANTED IT TO DO.
Then the total idi0ts at Google decided to ruin a perfectly good thing. There was no explanation and zero attempt to restore it to its former function. Now the larger image display often shows a smaller image than the thumbnail. No thanks. I can open the image in a new screen, which eats more memory and demands more clicks of my battle-scarred RSI wrists. No thanks!
Now clicking a link leads to a thoroughly unnecessary irritating sidebar that just obscures the screen. Getting to the freaking site demands more clicks on my RSI-scarred wrists. Gross. Literally NO ONE WANTED THIS.
Because these developer idi0ts have shot themselves in the foot and ruined a perfectly good tool, I'm giving up on Chrome. What browser has an Images tool that just works like Google Images used to? I'm done.
Chrome 150.0.7871.47 on Windows 10, clears the favicon cache when deleting all browsing data including 'Cached images and files', never happened before but suddenly started presumably with last update. This is particularly annoying as I have a thousand bookmarks which only have their favicon redownloaded when reopen each site, I don't know of any way to bulk repopulate the entire favicon database and it would be cleared anyway next time I clear history as there is no way seemingly to separate favicons from cached images now. I know from the manager folders of bookmarks can be opened at once but this is awkward and doesn't solve the problem and is nullified next time the browser history is cleaned. Is this happening for everyone or is my install corrupted, seems a bad decision if its a real update.
I'm curious from user perspective.
If you regularly use Chrome extension, what make you decide to donate to developer?
For example:
I'm trying to understand how user actually think about supporting extension developer. I'd really appreciate honest opinion and personal experience.

please help me i cant find an answer to this problem
Hey guys, i really need your help. I'm trying to get some work done , and I used the eyedropper tool (extension on chrome) and suddenly everything is unclickable even when I click esc (even the close button, minimize button, etc...) so I can't do anything unless I close chrome from the task manager and re-open it.
At first I thought the extension was corrupted so I removed it. Then, I used the built-in eyedropper tool in my company's platform, and the same problem happened again. I checked whether chrome crashes even if I don't use the tool and it didn't. The problem only happens when I use the eyedropper.
Is there any way I can fix this? I need this tool for my job :(
Running the latest stable Chrome on Windows 11. "Ask where to save each file before downloading" is turned on, and the Save As dialog does pop up every time — but it always defaults back to my Downloads folder instead of the last folder I actually saved to.
I regularly download multiple files per project (usually from Google Drive) into specific folders like m, m2, mb, etc. Before, Chrome used to remember whichever folder I saved to last and default there on the next download. Now it resets to Downloads every single time, even within the same session.
My Chrome updated automatically today to 150.0.7871.47, and I noticed that the Ad Privacy settings area (formerly at chrome://settings/adPrivacy) seems to be completely gone.
I can't find anything about this in the release notes or on any news sites. Does anyone have any info on this?
As I am typing this even, chrome seems to just randomly freeze for a second and then get going again. It happens on all websites on chrome, and I dont know why at all. I also have a very nice pc with a 4060 , r5 7600, and 32gb of ram. Someone please help, it would be greatly appreciated. (also my pc doesnt lag like this on other apps, its just a chrome problem)
Hello, I'm looking for the chrome extension that completely takes away the URL search bar and tabs and makes the video take up the entire window. I found this extension suggested on this subreddit, and now I cannot find it at all. It's definitely not "fullscreen everything." It's called something else.
not brave, firefox etc. ?
For over 15 yrs, I have the chrome setting set to "ask me each time" where I want a document downloaded to. It will auto remember my last download location, so if I have 5 documents to download to one file it will make it easier to just keep adding files there. However if I want to move to a different file, I can change the location easily, since its asking me.
In this last week, I have noticed that its only auto remembering the back-up/default location. So if I have 5 documents to download to one file, I have to change it EACH time now. This just started in the last few days with the last Chrome update.
Any ideas?
Why isn’t the Chrome DevTools device preset list updated more often? Some devices are pretty old, and newer ones are missing. It seems like a simple thing to maintain.
Hi. Sorry to be boring, but I just want to know how to turn off these weird animations or extra bits that appear on results pages. I've attached an example - I googled the singer Rosalia, and on the results page I got an animation of song pages falling from the top of the page, and also these extra buttons/icons in the bottom right corner. Anyone know how to disable this stuff?
An extension or userscript that can save images with alt+mouseclick with custom naming patterns (page title, url, etc) ?
This extension has stopped working due to MV3:
For the record, ad blockers don't seem to work against this anyway. I know it's pointless to expect anything but downvotes, but without due diligence of stepping on the rake and getting hit by the handle I can't actually say I tried anything.
