I've been using Chrome's built in bookmark sync which seems to work well.
Is there a way to force Chrome to do the sync as opposed to waiting for the alloted 'sync time'?
I am in the UK and my firm has an outsourced webscanning service which routes our traffic through either Germany or The Netherlands.
Whenever I do a search using Chrome's Address Bar I get either the .de or .nl results page.
Is there any way to force Chrome to use the .co.uk ignoring the location it thinks I am in?
Internet access is very locked down so alternate proxy suggestions will probably not work.
After updating to the latest version of Chrome (33) on my Gentoo Linux box, certain sites such as GitHub have started rendering with ugly, pixelated, non-antialiased fonts. Small text is now basically impossible to read.
Before this, GitHub had looked the same to me on Windows, Linux, and Mac computers. So what has happened here and how can it be fixed?
EDIT: Appears to be fixed on the stable release of Chrome 34.
Hi,
whenever I turn on Chrome, it crashes after a very short while (less than a minute). It started happening about a week ago for no apparent reason. I didn't install any new software, update or uninstall anything (as far as I remember), it just crashes. It doesn't matter wether I even open any page or not, Chrome just dies, period.
Doesn't anybody have an idea why might that be?

When I catch up on tweets, I like to click interesting links and carry on reading my feed, while the pages linked to load. That worked fine in Firefox, but now in Chrome, whenever I click a link on a tweet, Chrome grabs the focus. This is driving me crazy. How can I stop this?
I'm running XP SP3
I was curious if there was an equivalent technique in Chrome to do address bar param string replacement like you can do in Firefox. If you create a bookmark and put a %s in the bookmark URL/address part, and set a keyword for the bookmark, you can do things like
URL: http://php.net/%s
Keyword: php
Type in browser: php fopen
End up at: http://php.net/fopen
Is this making its way into Chrome or is there a way to do it?
Firefox has this massively useful plugin called EmailThis by LazyRussian. It allows you to right-click on a page and just kick off your webmail compose page and email it.
But...Firefox has become a dog, so I now vastly prefer Chrome.
Is there something similar to EmailThis for Chrome?
I would like to be able to change the default CSS used by chrome, such as removing the underlines for links, etc. However, I cannot find the default CSS file used by Chrome. Does anyone know where it is?

I was looking in chrome://gpu which told me that "Rasterization: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled." and further down "Accelerated rasterization has not been enabled or is not supported by the current system."
Is there a way to enable hardware acceleration?
Is there an easy way to add an RSS feed in Chrome to your Bloglines account?
There are add-ons for IE and Firefox that let you do this. Haven't seen anything for Chrome.
When I try to put Google Chrome in the Windows (Vista 64) startup folder, the browser launches with a blank page and then stops responding. Manually launching Chrome works perfectly well.
What is causing this and - more importantly - how can it be fixed?
Is it possible to let the Chromebrowser prefer all DNS resolvable URLs over a search?
Everytime I use a local name not matching a usual domain scheme, I got search results for it.
I first thought that no nonsense DNS lookup is made if the URL seems to be a search keyword, however Chrome always detect this condition and asks me if I like to go to my domain instead. So the DNS lookup is made anyway.

Sometimes you may want to undo your choice of "Never for this site" when Chrome asks if you want to save a password. But on the mac clicking on the "Show saved passwords" in the Preferences opens the Keychain Access app and you have no way to remove that site from the exceptions list.
This is obviously a bug.
I suppose that deleting all saved passwords will do but I don't want to delete them all. Is there any other workaround? (Chrome 6.0.472.63)
There seems to be a problem with google chrome and this wordpress theme here:

I must refresh several times (3 or 4 times) to have the site displayed correctly. The first time there is a big margin at the top.
Is this a weird bug of Google Chrome or is there anything to do with css to prevent this ?
I installed Java as requested by Chrome's "missing plugin" prompt. But after restarting Chrome it is still not shown as installed, even though if I try to install again it detects an existing installation.
What can I do?

Situation:
1. Need to Set the defualt browser to IE via cmd(problem)
2. Need to do a citrix login via IE(amounts to loading a url) beause it
wont run in google chrome
3. then set default browser to chrome
Environment:
Windows XP, no admin priv's
no admin priv's mean I can't touch registry
Basic Steps I'm Doing:
In a bat file:
1.Set default browser to IE
2.run a citrix SSO login via IE (not compatible with chrome)
3.Set default browser to Chrome
4.kill IE
5.live long and prosper
So i have it all running except "Set default browser to IE"
I can set the default browser to chome by using portable chrome's cmd line argument
--make-default-browser
but I can't undo that process.
If I launch IE, it pops up that 'make ie default browser' window which stops the SSO process.
So If I can disable that check via bat file, that would also work for me.
Things i've tried that didn't work:
shmgrate.exe OCInstallReinstallIE
We are using IE8
Maybe someone can find a chrome switch that undoes default browser:

I followed the steps here on how to create a sandboxed web browser using Sandboxie. So that you won't have to right-click a shortcut everytime and choose run sandboxed. And so that I could set a keyboard shortcut for the sandboxed web browser.
I am using Iron browser, but when I try to execute the shortcut created by sandboxie. It doesn't have extensions in it. What do I do in order to load the extensions along with the browser

How should browser detection be done now that jQuery 1.3 has deprecated (and I'm assuming removed in a future version) $.browser.msie and similar?
I have used this a lot for determining which browser we are in for CSS fixes for pretty much every browser, such as:
$.browser.opera
$.browser.safari
$.browser.mozilla
... well I think that's all of them :)
The places where I use it, I'm not sure what browser issue is causing the problem, because a lot of times I'm just trying to fix a 1 px difference in a browser.
Edit: With the new jQuery functionality, there is no way to determine if you are in IE6 or IE7. How should one determine this now?
Hi, I am writing a chrome extension and from the content script I want to calculate the absolute position of a DOM element. But from within content script, if i try to access offsetHeight, offsetWidth, offsetTop, offsetParent, etc, I get null. I guess content scripts don't have access to those DOM properties.
Is there a way/workaround, i can find those properties?
I have a webpage I want to use with YQL. But I need the xpath of a specific item. I can see it in the debug tools area for google chrome but I don't see a way to copy that xpath.
Is there a way to copy a full xpath or an extension to do it?
Thanks,

How to start an external application from a Google Chrome Extension?
So basically I have an executable file which does the job when you launch it. I need to be able to start it without a window (it is a console application) and pass the current URL to it in an argument,
http://steph.net23.net/work.php here is my test link. This page has a jquery script in it that adds a class to the first image. This works in all browsers except Chrome. It's like it adds it and then the image disappears. Anybody know why?
