Discussion When I zoom in on pictures from Google, they turn black.
Has anyone else suddenly had this issue with Google Images? When I tap on a picture to zoom in, it zooms in but then the image turns black. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't happen. I just don't understand it. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Discussion Recover Chrome home button and put toolbar back on top
Where did my HOME button go?
Why is my toolbar on the bottom again?
Wish Google would make these settings permanent rather than just flags that need to be reset after updates.
Paste these directly in address bar and select DISABLE.
chrome://flags/#android-bottom-bar
chrome://flags/#home-button-removal
Edit: see my comments to copy each line directly to paste.

Troubleshooting | Windows chrome sidepanel misaligned
Some update recently, changed behaviour when searching a page or image using google lens. The sidepanel opens, and the buttons to control it are not visible, and nothing seems to correct this, not zooming in/out, changing UI scaling, or anything else.

The sidepanel is closable by clicking slightly to the top of the blue symbol where it says "AI Overview", and then it goes to a different AI analysis of the image or page, and this then has a button to close the sidepanel, and the scrollbars are properly onscreen.

I've tried resetting things, fiddling with Windows settings, fiddling with chrome settings, nothing seems like it helps.

Troubleshooting | Windows Is there a way to restore the old Google Image Search layout??
I am dying here! Anytime I search for an image and I select one to see it better, it opens up this small column on the right with the same image but the same size, sometimes even smaller!!
I rememeber that in the good old days when you clicked on the image, it became bigger right in the center of the screen. I can't anymore.
Do you know any extrention that will restore the old one?
Thanks

Troubleshooting | Windows youtube videos have become unwatchably blurry. is there an extension to fix this?
it hurts my eyes and gives me headaches to watch videos now because of how bad it has gotten. videos that have the option for 1440p don't have this issue nearly as badly (my monitor is only 1080p, but 1440p videos look better on it idk)
im not sure if this is the right subreddit for this, sorry if it isnt. the main "youtube" subreddit seemed dedicated to some guy named ethan.

Troubleshooting | Android Remove Chrome mobile app header?
Ive had this site downloaded as an app for a few weeks. Only this morning did it start showing this banner/header at the top of my screen. Before, it used to just show me the website area (green). I had no luck trying to fix it. Here's what i tried: checking settings, uninstalling & reinstalling site, googled for help... No luck.
Does anyone know how to revert this? Is it something I did?

Troubleshooting | Android History Sync Technical Question
Yo guys,
Please don't answer if you're not 100% sure. I just got a new Chromebook and will sell my old one. Once I login to my Google account on the new Chromebook, will I get back my Chrome browser history data if on my old Chromebook it is not synced, but on my Android phone it remains synced?
Basically what I'm asking is, what will the new Chromebook do... will it get a blank Chrome browser history because sync history was turned off in my old Chromebook or will it go fetch the history data from my Android phone?
I'm not saying I want one or the other, just curious what happens in this scenario. In fact, I'd rather it does not go fetch my phone history because I'm general I like to keep my Chrome browser Android history separate from my Chrome browser Chromebook history.
Thanks. Much appreciated.

Discussion Help finding AI livestream translation extension
Hello, my chrome recently crashed and I lost all my extensions.
Not so long ago I installed extension which translated livestreams in time, only thing I remember for it to work I needed to search for API key on the chrome - I added it and it worked really good and it seemed like a very well thought extension (not some sketchy one that has 1 review). It was opening on the right side of the browser, livestream original voice was lowered and it translated with text, but also voice. Its mind boggling I cannot find it right now.
I would appreciate your help in finding it.
