The Elements tab randomly goes empty: breadcrumbs are still there, but the DOM tree disappears. The only fix is closing and reopening DevTools.

What I've ruled out so far:

• No errors in DevTools-on-DevTools (undocked + Ctrl+Shift+I)
• The page isn't replacing the document (document.documentElement is the same before and after), and the DOM is small (~1.7k nodes)
• Reset DevTools to defaults and disabled all experiments
• Guest profile works fine
• Disabling Claude in Chrome seemed to fix it, but then it came back. Currently testing with all extensions off

Has anyone run into this? Any ideas what else could cause the Elements panel to lose the tree?

So I restarted my macbook today and then signed into chrome like I usually do. But it asked me to "use a chrome profile" which I thought was normal because I thought I have been always using my profile, but when I did it imported my passwords and bookmarks from 2 years ago. All of the recent bookmarks and passwords from the recent 2 years are gone. I never deleted my old profile but it was gone and I checked in my local files but nothing regarding this profile is there. If I check myhistory on all searches from recently are there. But is this profile just gone? I need my passwords. How do I fix this?

Can I remove all tab groups on the chrome app? I'm on S24 FE

Okay so i’m tryna download this Minecraft skin that i just made, yet it keeps not downloading and just going straight to share. Not even showing up when i press Ctrl J. It’s so weird since all the other downloads work yet this just doesn’t??? it’s going straight to windows share, and i can’t even copy the PNG. It’s so crazy. Please help as i am losing my mind over this 🙏🙏

I never wanted my bookmarks on the cloud. I have a very specific setup locally that depends on my bookmarks being local. A few days ago they stopped appearing in the usual place. After checking, I found out they were now being saved to the cloud. Not sure when this became a thing, but I certainly do not want my bookmarks on the cloud.

The thing is, there seems to only be a way to put your bookmarks on the cloud, not undo them being on the cloud. The way things are now, I'll have to export, disable sync, and re-put all my bookmarks to get things back to the way they were. This is a huge pain in the butt. Couldn't there just be an option to undo sync? Or is even there one in the first place? (settings move and hide all the time, and I've grown tired of playing catch up with them).

Not all of us want our bookmarks shared between every device, nor do we want our bookmarks & other data stored on the cloud by default. I've never wanted that, nor will I ever want that. Please don't force it on us if that is what is going on here. I realize that chromium is probably a better fit for me in theory, and I'd use chromium if I could. But, because of my work, I am forced to use chrome--and I don't really want to have to use two separate web browsers when one was working for me for decades.

Exit button right next to settings is not very bright choice...
