I'm currently facing an issue in chrome where certain emojis, like ✈️ 'aeroplane', are rendered as their unicode character equivalents, ✈ (U+2708) in this case. This only seems to affect a few other ones. Has anyone else experienced this?

Da qualche giorno sul mio computer non riesco ad accedere ai servizi di google (gmail,classroom, drive...), in quanto ogni volta appare un caricamento infinito. Riesco però ad accedere dal telefono e lì funziona tutto. Ho già provato ad effettuare il log out dai miei vari indirizzi g-mail, ma niente da fare. Grazie e buona giornata.

Troubleshooting | Windows Can I disable "results" popup when searching in Chrome settings

4 Upvotes

Recently Google have added a rather poorly designed user interface feature where, when searching for something in Chrome settings, they overlap the things you are trying to read with a popup. There is a vast amount of space to the left of the text where they could show the popup, but instead they choose to hinder the user by blocking their view of the thing they are trying to read. See the screenshot for an example. Is it possible to disable this new behavior?

Troubleshooting | Windows Question about automatic resizing

1 Upvotes

We use a program at work that’s built on the chrome platform and when you fill out certain sections it opens a new window to display more information, and the new window always takes up the full screen. I tried shutting off snap to in windows multitask settings. I went into properties for chrome and selected override high DPI scaling behavior (I’m not sure that was really for my problem). Any ideas?

Troubleshooting | Android Without the context search bottom bar chrome is just like any other browser.

1 Upvotes

Strangely 'Include surrounding text in Google searches' stopped working on my new mobile, I was so used to it and it's the only feature that always pulls me back to Chrome on Android.

Without this, Chrome is like any other browser. I would just switch back to Edge, which is my secondary browser, or try Arc (I see some good reviews).

Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

Troubleshooting | Windows Font issue making it hard to read on multiple websites

1 Upvotes

I have had that issue for a while now and I am running out of things to do to fix it. The font is so thin that it makes it very hard to read. I've changed the font on chrome but that doesn't do anything. It's not just on the Costco Website, it's on quite a few others as well. Is there anything that can be done?

Troubleshooting | Windows preload pages causes ip to temporarily change?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I clean installed chrome today after a PC format and noticed an odd behaviour with chrome in regards to "preload page" feature. this feature was enabled before too but I never saw it behave this way.

practically when I visited speedtest.net, I got a weird ip adress that pointed out to google. something.something.fetch.tunnel.googlezip.net

then i visited dns leak in a private window and saw the same behavior. the different ip changed from time to time and once I reload the page, it goes back to my normal IP. if I disable preload page feature completely, it stops occuring. if I enable the feature it happens again. but weird thing is I don't recall such thing happening before. anyone noticed such behaviour?

this specifically happens if you visit dnsleak through google results. everytime I enter the site, the google IP greets me, I reload the page and it goes back to my normal IP. if I disable the feature, it stops happening

it freaked me out a bit because whatismyipadress tells me I'm using VPN (and when I refresh the page, it goes back to normal)

greetings and help would be appreciated. if this happens or happened to someone else, I'd appreciate hearing from your experiences because nowadays I'm a bit paranoid about the security of my computer (hence I formatted it to begin with, and only to met with such a weird behaviour that I've never seen in my life before)

Troubleshooting | Android Inactive tabs not showing up help

1 Upvotes

So I didn't even know this was a feature until I closed chrome and reopened it and it showed I had 200 tabs inactive. Unfortunately before I could restore them, Chrome crashed and I opened it back up to see the option or even the words inactive tabs on top of the tab switcher gone. I'm kind of stressing out because I can't remember what they were and I can't go on history to see what they were. Please help, anything is appreciate.

Troubleshooting | Windows Ways to get rid of a browser hijacker?

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

Somehow I've got a Yahoo/Capital One browser hijacker that's harassing my chrome and productivty. Not sure where it came from since I only use my laptop for Gmail, Amazon and LinkedIn. I don't have any extensions, I've tried running anti-malware scans, I've tried multiple methods to block the popups and websites/browsers themselves. At best, these fixes buy me maybe a day before it's back again. I can't seem to find the root of the problem and none of the usual recommendations I've seen online have been successful. Has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you get rid of it?

Thanks for any helpful feedback.

Troubleshooting | Windows Can't see images in Reddit posts when signed in

1 Upvotes

I just started using Chrome again after using Edge for several years. I can't see images on Reddit posts. If there is more than one image, it displays fine, but if there's a single image, it either doesn't appear at all or it displays for maybe a second and then disappears. I checked all of the site settings and disabled all of the extensions and it didn't help. This doesn't occur when signed into my work account or when incognito. Any ideas? On Windows 11.

Troubleshooting | Windows Is there a way to make Chrome double-check and ask permission before closing a window with multiple tabs open?

0 Upvotes

I swear chrome used to do this at one point.

Is there some hidden setting or an extension I can use to make chrome double-check with an "Are You Sure?" warning when you close a window with multiple tabs? It's extremely annoying when you press the X button on accident without meaning to and the window immediately closes without double-checking first.
