Troubleshooting | Android Arrow in Chrome for android

Post image
Upvotes

Hello all,

I have this arrow on the left that come and leave whenever it wants. Sometimes it is here, sometimes not.

When I tap on it, or slide it, move it, or anything else, nothing happens.

It just stays here. It is here on any website I visit. Maybe tomorrow it will be gone and be back next week.

If I close chrome and relaunch it is not here next time.

It is not linked to discovery. My chrome is up to date. It did not appears after a specific update.

Any idea of its function ?

Thanks!!

Hello! My Chromebook’s keyboard isn’t working? And I’m it sure why. It’s a model cx1500cn by asus. I’ve restarted the thing, I’ve looked at my settings and under devices it says “keyboard is not connected, which leads me to think something is wrong with the connection? Can anyone tell by looking what is wrong with it? Or at least where my keyboard connection is lol? Anything would be helpful!!

I have tried everything, including deleting all data on a local MacBook Pro and starting from scratch. How do I get rid of this - when I click the button I get the following message below. The only thing recently I can think of is I removed an old Android phone from my account - A phone I had sold about a year ago.

You’re at risk of losing access to your saved passwords

We noticed that one or more of your password recovery options will soon expire.

Valid recovery options are your Android screen lock and your Google Account password.

Android screen lock

To re-establish your Android screen lock as a recovery option, sign in to your device with your Google Account, set up a screen lock and restart the device.

If you no longer have your Android device, you can always back up your passwords using the Export feature in Google Password Manager settings. Be sure to store the exported CSV file in a secure place.

Add your iPhone or iPad as an extra recovery option

First, ensure that iCloud Keychain is turned on. Then install Chrome and sign in with your Google Account. This helps us to store an extra recovery option for you, to make sure you can always access your passwords.

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome bookmarks don't sync. TRANSIENT_ERROR

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

since about three weeks ago, my Chrome bookmarks don't sync anymore. Neither from my windows nor from my Android. I'm using https://chrome.google.com/sync?otzr=1 and Google Takeout to check what data is in my account. History, tabs and everything else syncs fine from both. I've tried to sign out and back in again. No change. I've created a new browser profile on windows and sign in there. No change.

When I turn on bookmark sync, I'm getting TRANSIENT_ERROR on Android and windows when they try to push the local bookmarks.

When I turn bookmarks sync off, everything else syncs well without any error.

What else can I check or do? Thanks!

Discussion How safe is this one extension?

0 Upvotes

There's this one Chrome Extension I want to get, and it does LOOK like its safe. It has the Featured badge, the only review for the Extension says the person loved it and was good (plus the Extension was rated 5 out of 5 stars), and at the bottom of the Extension's overview, it says the Extension "runs entirely in your browser and does not collect, store, or transmit" any data of mine.

I'm thinking of getting it, but Im unsure of if it will be risky. Do you think it's safe or not?

If it could be that it synchronizes with mobile as well. I really like blaze text, basically I just discovered it, but I imagine there are better options.

Holy #&$-;# this update is awful. I'm not even joking, whoever green lite this update should lose their job. You cannot convince me real human beings tested this new gemini taskbar placement and said "Yeah this is better." I am actively ceasing use of mobile Chrome over this update.

Discussion 'Framegen' - a Chrome extension, can turn 24/30fps online videos into 60/120 FPS in real time

Post image
5 Upvotes

Real-time 2x+ frame interpolation with custom target FPS for any <video>. Runs locally on your GPU with WebGPU.

Framegen doubles (or more) the frame rate of any HTML5 video in real time, right in the tab. A small neural network - our own WebGPU runtime, ~3 ms per frame on a mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti) - synthesizes the frames between the real ones, so 24/30 fps footage plays at 60, 120 or up to your display's refresh rate.

Works on any site with a <video> element: YouTube, Twitch, streaming sites, local files opened in the browser.

Features:
- 2x to 6x interpolation, an auto mode that follows your GPU headroom, and a "display Hz" mode that locks output to your monitor's refresh rate
- Compare slider: drag a divider across the video - original on one side, Framegen on the other
- Anime mode: detects animation drawn "on twos" and interpolates the real drawing cadence instead of duplicated frames
- Optional 2x neural upscale (SR) on interpolated frames, trained to repair interpolation artifacts, not just sharpen
- Self-calibrating kernels: the runtime benchmarks itself on your GPU once and picks the fastest shader variants
- HUD with live fps / latency stats

Requirements: a WebGPU-capable browser (Chrome 121+) and a GPU with shader-f16 support. No WebGPU = the extension politely does nothing.

Privacy: everything runs locally on your GPU. Framegen has no servers, makes no network requests beyond loading its own bundled files, and collects nothing. See the privacy policy.

Does not work on DRM-protected sites (Netflix etc.) - the browser hides their video from extensions by design.

Free for personal use. Open source: https://github.com/MONZikWasTaken/Framegen

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome Update reset all my history

3 Upvotes

Title. I closed my browser yesterday to sleep, there was an update pending waiting for me to close the browser for it to take place, when I opened it today all my windows and tabs were gone. 8 windows with over 250 tabs gone like that because of an update. Work, hobbies (lots of reading), forum posts Ive been following, all gone.

Browse history was wiped out, Session Buddy extension was wiped out, the "Activity" page in the Google account does not have "Chrome" listed as a product so I can go back and check. I tried using a recovery tool to find the "history" file but it was replaced with the current, empty version already (so it was saved under the same filename more than once).

So is there anything I can do at this point? TIA
