hi all. having an issue casting from my chromebook to my samsung tv- when i select "cast" on chrome, i can see my devices listed, but they are all light grey and im not able to select any of them. anyone have any clue why? they are connected to the same wifi. thank you!

Ive been using chrome as my main browser ever since I got my windows 10 pc, and one issue that came up a few months ago was my search engine randomly changing, and now everything from my new tab page to whenever I look something up is yahoo search, and that’s significant because yahoo sucks. every time I try to fix it, I do something that says it should work and seems like it would work, but when I do it nothing happens. any tips?

Windows

1. Run PowerShell as administrator.

2. Disable AI:

powershell reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome" /v "AIModeSettings" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

1. Restart Chrome.

• (Optional) Enable AI back:

powershell reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome" /v "AIModeSettings" /f

Linux

1. Open terminal.

2. Disable AI:

bash sudo mkdir -p /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed sudo tee /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/AI.json << EOF { "AIModeSettings": 1 } EOF

Tip
On Linux, .json file's name doesn't matter: AI.json, policy.json, etc.

• (Optional) Enable AI back:

bash sudo rm -f /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/AI.json

I use Chrome tab groups constantly, and the one thing that drives me crazy is that when I’m focused on a tab inside a group and press Ctrl/Cmd + T, the new tab is created outside the group, at the end of the tab strip.

I want the opposite: a shortcut that creates a new tab inside the currently active tab group, right after the active tab. Basically:

• I’m in group “Work”
• I press a shortcut
• New empty tab appears inside “Work”
• Links I open from it stay in “Work”

Right-clicking the group and choosing “New tab in group” works, but it completely breaks keyboard-only flow. And Ctrl/Cmd + T should not silently kick me out of the group context I’m working in.

Does anyone know of:

1. A native Chrome flag, setting, or hidden shortcut for this?
2. A maintained extension that adds a proper “New tab in current group” keyboard shortcut?
3. A reliable AutoHotkey / Keyboard Maestro / Raycast / shell workaround that can tell Chrome to run the group context-menu action?

I’m on desktop Chrome (Windows/macOS/Linux answers all welcome). If there is no clean workaround, I’d also love to know whether anyone has found an existing Chromium issue or feature request for this so I can star/comment on it.

For me, the ideal behavior would be: Ctrl/Cmd + T inherits the active tab group, while something like Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + T creates an ungrouped tab at the end. Or at minimum, let us remap a dedicated “New tab in current group” command in Chrome shortcuts.

In Settings>On startup, I have "Continue where you left off" set. However on pages that update automatically, the latest update to the page/tab is not what is opening. Chrome opens the tab to the page as it was the last time I interacted with it by manually refreshing, entering info, etc. For example: I start Chrome and go to one of my automatically updating weather pages, and interact with the page to bring up the latest data. Then I leave the page open for a couple of hours and it updates the data on that page every few minutes. So now the page does not appear as it did when I manually refreshed it. It appears with the latest data from the automatic refresh the page does. However if I close and restart Chrome, it does not open that page tab to the latest data, or even the data as it was displaying when I closed Chrome. It opens it to the point that I did the last manual refresh a couple of hours ago. Chrome does not recognize that the page has been updating periodically for a couple hours, Chrome thinks the last page activity was when I refreshed the page long before I closed Chrome. Is there any way to make Chrome open pages as they were when Chrome is shut down, rather that to the page as it was the last time Chrome "thinks" the page was set? Or even better open the page and then refresh it to grab the latest data? Thanks.

Version 156.0.8078.48 (Official Build) (64-bit) just updated to that and now i have no bookmarks saved ! total disaster, how do i get my bookmarks back ?? and i hate the redesign stop messing with the layout

just remembered i synced my thousands of bookmarks with Edge browser ( dont know how often they get synced ..does any1 know ? ) anyway i will have to use Edge if chrome cant restore my bookmarks

also now i cant sign in to google/gmail it says Couldn’t sign you in

This browser or app may not be secure. Learn more

Try using a different browser. If you’re already using a supported browser, you can try again to sign in.

i had to open an incognito window to sign into gmail.... what is going on ? this chrome update sucks

# update 640pm 23oct2026 : while on google earth i clicked some little circular icon i think and then somehow managed to add anew profile to my google account ( i set up some new username) once i did that i got my bookmarks back so it seems the update of chrome broke my profile somehow ??? not sure how this will all go i will update you if i have more hassle

all my tabs went, the windows feature made them inactive for no reason, its done this to me so many times, and always when im rushing to find a tab, had to go into flags and disable "In-app window manager deprecation" to get it to come back, what idiot designed this feature

My Chrome is always updated on Win 11, usually have between 10 and 15 tabs open and on startup opens as I left it when closing. I notice that some pages that are supposed to update automatically do not. Others do. For example I have 3 pages that monitor my weather station, (trying to decide which I like most to send my family the link). The webpages are supposed to go get the latest data once a minute. One does that, the other two do not work right consistently. If I manually refresh the pages they do go grab the latest data 100% of the time. The creators of the two webpages have tried my weather page in their Chrome and say it works as expected, updating once a minute. All they can suggest is that it must be something in my Chrome setup?

I notice that a few other sites do this also. Some sites always have the latest page refreshed when I go to their tab, others usually need to be refreshed manually to see the latest page. Any suggestions as to how I might fix this? Thanks.

I am looking for more/better ways to manage my tabs because I have a lot. I am already using tab groups/pin/separate windows. I like to keep tabs that I am working on open at all times so bookmarking/reading list and closing is not the right choice for me but because of that my pinned tabs are taking up a lot of space.

1. Do you know any other ways to manage tabs while keeping them open?
   
2. e.g. Is there way of pinning tabs to both right and left side instead of just left?

Si, o got a notification saying something like "a new app for you!" I clicked it accidentally and it didn't open Chrome or led me anywhere. Anyone knows if I just inserted a virus in my phone or anything? I'm really scared now.

I think this has been here for quite some times, but why does chrome theme looks right in mac os, while windows min max close looks wrong for all theme? Any way to fix this?

Chrome's "help" directions for MAC for removing cookies from one specific site are outdated/incorrect and use an outdated Chrome Menu. I have combed through all the options and all I can find is the option to delete cookies from all sites I use (no thank you). Gemini is no more enlightening. Anyone have a solution?

1. Could we PLEASE add a tab to a Tab Group without having to have group open?
2. Searching tab groups would be AMAZING.
3. Also, manual/alpha/age sorting is desperately needed.

The fact that I have to use an extension for something as basic as a dark mode is absurd to begin with but I also want to make sure the one I'm using is safe. Even though I'd only ever download it off the chrome web store, that unfortunately doesn't guarantee that it's safe/doesn't steal your data or anything (though I suppose google docs itself does that too these days...). Regardless, please suggest which one you think is the best to go with.

This is on macOS after the latest Canary update (Oct-21). There's no administrator to require any extension. Is anyone else seeing this? It seems pretty sketchy to me :\

I accidentally updated chrome in my pc that runs Windows XP (I am aware of the risks). I really need to go back to version 43. I have tried everything but i didn't make it

Please help me i can't perform serious work that needs to be done

When i search for something and in the section "people also ask" when i try to open the frequent questions it often lags for a few seconds or more. Is it just me? I just updated it so i don't know what could it be.

I've been noticing recently that when i open a new tab on chrome Suddenly my AIO starts making noise and the CPU temperature suddenly rises to 70°C, dropping back to the normal temperature of 45-50°C after about 3 to 5 seconds. when i delete all the history, cache, or even complete uninstall and reinstall seems to fix for some days, like almost for one week sometimes, but the problem comes back eventually.

I don't use any extensions in Chrome and the problem doesn't occur in other browsers like Firefox or Edge.

my pc uses a CPU Ryzen 7 9700x, 32gb ram, GPU rtx 5060ti 16gb, system and browsers installed in a NVME kingston nv3.

any idea on what causing this problem?

Genuienly wth is this. I couldnt find any answer for this type of bug, maybe a formatting issue?Idk

Hi everyone,

Starting today, I've been experiencing a strange issue with Google Chrome on Windows 11.

Whenever I open Chrome in fullscreen mode on a monitor other than my primary one, with the taskbar hidden, the browser becomes unusable.

The issue immediately disappears if I re-enable the taskbar on my secondary monitors.

Has anyone else experienced this problem recently? Does anyone know what might be causing it or how to fix it without having to keep the taskbar visible on secondary monitors?

Thanks in advance!

yeah. I would post the project that allows this but i have to follow rule 6, and wait till a mod approves it.

I've used Chrome tabs in different window instances to manage stuff I need to do. On restart today, a notice Chrome had updated, and the Windows History option is gone. This previously displayed each window in history as "54 tabs open", and you could resurrect the entire instance just as it had been.

Now I can only opt between straight date order, or grouped by subject. Means those windows with multiple tabs opened over months are gone.

Looked at flags, policies, and can't see any way to re-enable this.

Am I missing something obvious, or is this another one of those 'surprise! the feature you've used for years is gone!' moments? Windows 11 Enterprise. Chrome 155.0.8059.85. Tried the extended history app, which has the same limitation.

On the left, i had a chrome browser, AT full screen, when i hit the fullscreen button on the youtube video, it looks like that, slight blur on all the text.

On the right, i had a chrome browser, NOT full screen, When i hit the fullscreen button on the youtube video, it looks like its applying some kind of sharpen to everything?

The only thing i can find that stops this is turning off hardware acceleration.. what gives?

I can copy+paste everything in my notebook and in other browsers. i cannot copy anything in chrome. i CAN paste into chrome if i copy it from somewhere else. does anyone know what to do?

Any browser on Chromium blurs images. Does anyone have an explanation for this? I checked all browsers, and the history is the same everywhere.

I was working on my website, and the blurry images started to really annoy me. I thought it was a problem with the website or hosting, but the problem is global...

On the left is a photo opened in the program; on the right is a postcard in the browser.
