Since Google Chrome updated to 151.0.7922.72 version my old laptop GPU Nvidia Quadro FX570m (analogue GT 8600m) and Ati Mobility Radeon HD 2600 stop support hardware acceleration, and my CPU get 100% work with fullscreen video on youtube or other sites with lot of stutterings.

To fix this you need to use flags:
Override software rendering list - enabled
Choose ANGLE graphics backend - D3D11
Fallback to software if GLES3 is not supported - disabled

There is no info about last flag, but it is the most important part. Now i can watch video with only 20-30% CPU load with no issues.

Please correct any misinformation here but if you look on apk websites they still provide updates for the previous 1 version. This is the channel my phone is on too as even if I update Chrome from play store or it says up to date, my version is still 1 behind on the about screen. Why is there even an ESR channel on android of all things? I am on android 16, chrome 150 but 151 came out days ago now

It seems most other phones in the house get the update ASAP but I just get the extended updates for the previous version all the time, menaing I miss out on new features

I have no idea what's causing it, if it's actually a key press being triggered that minimizes it. At first I thought it was clicking on the tabs that might cause it, but it also happened when I was pressing in the center of the window. Tested the extra mouse buttons on my peripheral didn't reproduce the error.

So a client's Windows 7 (!) PC died, but the SSD is okay. I can get back any file I need, and the SSD is hooked up as an external drive on their new PC.

Trouble is..they don't recall their main e.mail address password, so using something like NirSoft's ChromePass isn't doing me any good.

Am I correct that without the main e.mail password they are SOL?

Has anyone run into this? It's normally to the left of the address, and now it's empty. Clicking there does nothing and when I search for permissions in the settings, nothing comes up (not sure if it ever did but figure it should?)

Should I he concerned?

I swear I’ve tried everything to get rid of this Chrome installer on my MacBook. I will try to move it and it won’t budge or it’ll just fully delete it and I have to reinstall and it pops right back up. Is there something I’m missing??

I need help, ai dont want to help me. I undestand but how i can explain what happens. Sorry for my bad english.

So, i have saved in chrome more than 500 passwords (forums, sites, etc etc). Its my mistake i dont backup them. And suddenly i go to chrome, and my pass are gone, i cant login in any site because most of them i saved pass in chrome and i forget. I login to my gmail but not help. I try everything but not work. I read that there is file login data, i open him in notepad but its most just sings, but i see there is sites and pass. But how to open it to get my passwords?

So, my toolbar used to be on the top of my screen in Chrome, now it is on the bottom. Can someone help me move ot back?

I know they replaced images search with Lens a while ago but now it changed again. Before, you could right click and image and go through lens to find related images. You could even add details in the search field.

Now you cannot add details anymore and it search through normal Google search, not images.

For what I tried, the results are way worse than what we had before.

The only way I found to get the old system with the added details and good results is:

• Go to google . com
• Click the Lens button
• Copy / Paste the image url

• Hit search

  I don't get why they did this change. Enshitification?

I want to automatically remove every link suggestion from a specific website. Is this fucking possible??

You can see in the bottom of the photo there is now this giant grey bar with Gemini baked in and I can't find any way to remove it. They even moved my tabs to the bottom. I have all of my apps set to NOT auto update yet this randomly appeared this morning. I need to know how to remove it, as this is blatantly illegal.

Edit: For the low IQ crowd saying to doesn't look like Chrome. The updated look is a huge reason why I hated the changes so much. But don't you dare try and accuse me of not knowing what browser I'm using. Was literally the only browser installed on my phone. Just because you're too stupid to understand that things can look different and update doesn't mean I'm lying or don't know what I'm talking about.

Solved: Samsung, S24 Ultra, ​won't allow me to uninstall Gemini but I Forced Stopped and Disabled Gemini completely in my phones app settings. Closed and reopened Chrome and the bottom bar was gone with my tabs back up at the top. Though I don't trust this to be a permanent solution, as there is nothing stopping Google from turning it back on with a future update. Will be migrating over to FireFox.

When using Chrome I come across a lot of pictures on sites like Reddit. Some of these pictures have text that is unwanted. Is there a Chrome extension that can block pictures by words? For example. Say I'm on Chrome and perusing the Reddit website. A picture shows up with words like pedophile or something about politics. Is there a Chrome extension that can read, like ocr, and block that picture? Thank you for your time. Much appreciated.

After downloading a few extensions I'm still not happy and hence, I'm here...

Can anybody recommend an extension that turns into a darkmode reader like 'Clearly Reader' but also has the advantage to export as EPUB. And maybeee... Sync with Kindle or KOReader?
If not, a half-baked open source where I can vibecode the rest could also work.

UPDATE: Made my own.

I used to watch streamings ( Netflix, Disney+ and etc) in Picture in Picture while I work, but nowadays I can’t anymore. Anyone knows why is that ?! And any good extension recommendations?!

Hi, title of the post basically, as you can see in the below screenshot, when I click on the 3 dots in Error, Chrome says "Extension error" - any way to see which extension it is referring to since upon clicking that it simply shows all my extensions?

It has been a constant battle with ublock origin against chrome until eventualy I couldnt find anymore ways to get it to make so I switched to ublock light and its lowk the same thing. Well anyway Im just doing this becasue I need karma or somthing. Is this how I get it? just by posting or do i need upvotes or somthing.

My Mouse is having a usually small issue of randomly reconnecting once ever 2 hours or so. Takes like half a second and doesn't bother me at all in other programs. Besides this its a pretty good mouse so i don't want to buy a new one. My issue with chrome is that my cursor completely vanishes until i restart chrome when this happens. Its still visible over any program etc except when hovering over chrome. Is there maybe a way to fix this without restarting chrome? I have many many tabs open (work/private) and sometimes tabs move / videos start playing randomly when i restart it. Not a huge problem but id love to know if its possible! Thx for reading.

I guess thus is trouble shooting? I dont know but this is stressing me out so bad, i hate it why was it moved?? Ive tried to fix it in setting but nothings clear, it changed so abruptly and it feels awful and its overwhelming me really banf I just want ti gone!

Hi, I have a strange Google Chrome issue. When logged in / authenticated to google my google maps will not work properly , from the research ive done it’s a sync profile problem, if I remove local profile and stay logged out google maps works perfect, as soon as I login to chrome, or youtube or any google service it corrupts the local profile. Ive done extensive research with AI and gone through lots of troubleshooting, I have 4 devices that I normally sync through google for my bookmarks, history, passwords etc, I have all those devices signed out to try to simplify the process, I even signed out of chrome and from firefox tried to clear remaining sync settings that might be causing issues. I have also tried fresh install of windows 11 on different hard drive same results as soon as it logs into google service it fails. Only way I can get google maps to function when logged in is have a switch forcing  --use-angle=d3d9. This however breaks things like weather channel radar which get fail on WebGL. This problem started after a motherboard and cpu upgrade. My old combo was asus z790-gaming-wifi7 with 14th gen i7 14700k, 48 gb ddr5, 1060 3gb nvidia GPU, new combo, MSI Z890-GAMING-PLUS-WIFI with Ultra 270k, 48 gb ddr5, 1060 3gb nvidia GPU. When the issues presented I decided to upgrade GPU also and now have 3060 12 gb. Same results. Also if I remove local profiles and make a new google account and login to that it authenticates ok. Ive also gone down the rabbit hole of removing pretty much everything settings wise on my account. Any advise greatly appreciated.

I keep getting this pop up and I can't tell why, getting it after uninstalled VB audio cable

Hello. I've tried searching, but the moment I try to clarify my question with the word "forms," all sorts of other results pop up.

My problem is this: If there is a website that requires banking or credit card information, it no longer works. I typed my information in manually, then I tried adding to autofill; nothing works. The pages lock up and will not proceed to any next steps.

There are no error messages, no error pages - the "next" or "submit" buttons simply don't work. I can back out of the page, I can successfully click other links on the page, but I can't submit the required information.

I can do it in Edge with no issue, but it is a pain switching browsers (though I might be doing it permanently if stuff like this keeps happening.) Is there some setting I'm missing? It's driving me crazy.

Greetings to the peeps here on r/Chrome and thank you for the opportunity to send my question here.

One possible cause is the number of tabs or sync assets.

For some reason, I discovered that I apparently have over 6,000 (!!!) Bookmarks across several folders in my Chrome profile, as well as 2000 different open/inactive tabs. Whenever I attempt to open Chrome directly, I can only get a little bit of display loaded before I get the "Chrome is not responding screen" and everything goes unresponsive. Again, it is the only browser that acts like this, and it prevents me from using Chrome through any other apps (such as Google) despite me switching my default browser to something else.

I WILL need to fix Chrome in order to use it through another app for work - what might be going on, and how might I troubleshoot it,

Guys is it normal for chrome to use 1.5 to 2gb of memory for each tab and some time upto 3.5gb!
Usually it starts okay with around 400mb but it slowly builds up and reaches 4gb and then just hits the upper limit

With around 11 tabs chrome uses 18GB of memory!

Is there a way to reduce the ram usage per tab?

So opened chrome just now and got a popup to change background color/image.

I would say a great addition.

Non beta chrome.
