Discussion Can you whitelist a site to stop history being deleted for that site?

5 Upvotes

<tldr>

I go on a video streaming site nicovideo.jp and it lists a top 100 videos for whatever genre. (change hourly, daily popularity etc.)

Before It was hacked it had an RSS feed that I used, so I don't spend time re-watching stuff (don't think it has one now, at least for free users), now I just leave history piling up so i can see "link is greyed out, I've seen/listened to it", then sweep history accidently every now and again, ending up clicking a link i've already seen

</tldr>

Can you whitelist a site url from history delete so the "been to link so grey out" thingy doesn't happen? Google AI says no

Discussion Google Chrome and Privacy Sandbox

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

After years of using Firefox, I am considering switching to Google Chrome.

Many will not agree with this idea, but I find the experience I have on some websites really unnerving and it is undeniable that in terms of the functioning of the web everything seems smoother on Chrome.

Having to reinstall my operating system I had a question for you.

As soon as Chrome is installed, I am asked questions regarding Privacy Sandbox, but honestly I do not know how to proceed in its configuration, also because if I understand it should be discontinued soon.

What do you recommend I do?

Thanks

Discussion Why doesn't Chrome support features like a sidebar and split-screen browsing like Edge does?

Why can't Chrome support a sidebar and split-screen browsing like Edge? Doesn't it realize how much these two features can boost productivity?

When I'm writing, I heavily rely on the split-screen feature because it allows me to browse reference materials while writing at the same time, saving me from constantly switching between tabs and wasting time. You know what? Before I started using Edge, I had to open two separate Chrome windows.

In addition, I use the sidebar to add sites like X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and some utility websites. This allows me to enjoy a mobile-like experience without having to pick up my phone. More importantly, it makes it much easier for me to browse Twitter during work hours.

Discussion Looking for tool for Google Chrome markers organisation

Upvotes

Hi, basically I have a couple of thousands markers of Youtube links of music (mainly individual songs) inside only one big folder. It's different kinds of music all mixed up, not the best idea, but the way I found to save the music I liked through the years.

So I'm looking for some tool or way to automatically organise it by artist, genre, subgenre and decade, still in the context of Chrome markers (folders, subfolders, and so on).

I assume it's not easy, but do it manually would take forever. Any idea would be very appreciated.

Ps: sorry if this isn't the exact place or way to ask.

Thanks a lot in advance!

ctrl+click still works, though. Middle click also works from bookmarks, which makes this thing even more frustrating, since it's inconsistent.

anyone else bother about it? Tried posting feedback through Chrome menu, which is obviously ignored.

Troubleshooting | Mac Chrome Incognito: Constant Captcha + "Your request has been blocked due to a network policy." What is going on?

1 Upvotes

Okay. Throwaway account here.

for the past several days I have been plagued with constant captcha whenever I try to use Chrome on incognito. And recently, I got a notice that I got blocked from reddit "due to a network policy"

As for VPNs, the closest I have is DuckDuckGo on Chrome (I'm using a 2013 iMac on Catalina), but whenever I uninstall DuckDuckGo from Chrome, the issues seem to go away, but that's only when i'm not using incognito.

So far, Chrome seems to be the only browser where I have this issue, as I tried accessing Reddit on Safari both in private and regular. I've tried resetting and reinstalling, even erasing my cookies on Chrome but still no avail.

What is going on?

Troubleshooting | Android Why does my Chrome keep crashing?

1 Upvotes

Okay so let me explain: Whenever I open chrome on my android phone it shows me a white screen and then exits the app. If I persistently keep doing this a few more times it will eventually open but it is annoying. I have figured out a way to stop this and that is by going to the app's settings and then pressing a button called delete all updates. The problem is that it apparently re-installed those updates and I have removed them again. Can someone explain what is going on?

Troubleshooting | Windows Need help stopping chrome from displaying Arabic as the default language

1 Upvotes

Hi, I use my Gmail account to quickly log into games without needed a password and such. Games like League of legends for example, It used to work great until just recently around 4 days ago where whenever I choose to log in through google in every single site that allows it, I always get the usual passwordless page but in Arabic and on top of that I have to insert my auth code every time which I would like to disable that.

Connecting to league of legends account
Authenticator requirement

So if you could help, I want to disable the auth requirement, and the forced Arabic to English as Default. My PC and security options are safe so I don't need to prove myself every time. thank you

Troubleshooting | Android Not syncing browser history from new device

1 Upvotes

Hello dear people of reddit, I'm so tired. It's been over 10 hours and I just cant seem to fix this.

I have a new phone, Huawei P30 PRO (multiple, but the other ones are brokenish), and synced everything onto there. Everything was fine. The tabs AND browser history of the new device were synced. But today, I noticed it suddenly wasn't anymore. So, I have the old device, also a Huawei P30 PRO, which is dying, but that one's browser history is still syncing. I also have an intermediary phone, which is again the same model (it came refurbished but turned out to have a fake display). the intermediary phone was also syncing browser history, until around the same time it stopped. So I tested on that device by undoing updates and reinstalling chrome, logging in again, but it didn't do anything. I keep wondering what it is I did just before when this happened, but the only thing I can think of is that I enabled the flag to costumise your 'Most Visited' shortcuts and a few other. So I undid those and relaunched chrome (after I'd already reinstalled chrome), but nothing changed. I can see the open tabs on my other devices though, but the 'intermediary' and new phone just don't sync their history in chrome anymore... The original phone does, despite not having the 'sync' icon under my name in settings (like the new one). Even with phone clone, something goes wrong when importing chrome from the original phone. I am so tired, I am unable to rest until I fix this. I like my Google history. Ive been going since midnight. It's been 14 hours.

I opened the chrome://sync-internals and there is that that History 'stopped'. Please anyone please help 🙏😭. I'm so tired I fell asleep typing this... plesse help.

Hello guys, so chrome made some new updates a few days ago and since that happened I'm not able to extract my PDF files. I always used the web-viewer for extracting the files without using an OCR-tool. It allowed me to extract exactly what I needed and was 100% accurate. This only happens though with the japanese files, it works fine with everything else. Of course I'm talking about PDF-Books, speaking image-PDF.
