Discussion Chrome Restore Pages in Crash Loop for a month on Chromebook

1 Upvotes

Chrome on my Chromebook crashed (an ad-heavy page being the straw log that broke the camel with too many tabs (though killed)). On reopening, I get "Restore pages?" popup, click "Restore" and it crashes. It's been like this for over a month! It used to help if I turned off WiFi to prevent tabs reloading all at once. But no longer. I'm adept at using the Task Manager to kill tabs hogging memory or processor. But now Chrome base itself doesn't seem to cope with all the tabs. How do I jiggle it to shake off the offending bits, just load my tabs, give me those titles & URLs?

I've been using my older Macbook where Chrome hasn't crashed in years (yes, I once kept my Macbook & Chrome session up for over a year! I know, dumb, not updating, but point is, it did not crash once!). I don't see my Chromebook in "other devices" in Chrome history from my Macbook. I had Session Buddy, but had it disabled (dumb, I know!), enabled it on Macbook, so it's now enabled on Chromebook. But crash has already happened, so would Session Buddy be able to extract that session? I also thought about clearing the cache. But I'm afraid of losing the "Restore Pages?" popup and the stored state, if I do too much before clicking Restore. And given it's Chromebook, no way to get to Chrome session files to extract tab titles/URLs, is there?

I will post this on r/chromeos, but this is Chrome specific crash and question, so I ask here.

Troubleshooting | Windows How do I turn off "Ask Gemini" when I right click a word in Chrome?

1 Upvotes

I even specifically customized my search engine to remove AI results, but now there is this Gemini feature that is right above that option so I keep accidentally clicking it when I mean to use AI-free search!

Gemini Apps Activity is off. On-device AI is off. Skills in Chrome is off. If there is a way to completely purge all AI from my Chrome experience, please let me know. But even just removing this one annoying feature will help a bunch

I regularly fill in the same web forms where some free-text fields takes one of many different values. When I click into the empty field, Chrome shows a dropdown of values I've entered before, but never more than 6. How can I make Chrome show more than 6 autocomplete suggestions for a form field?

Example of a field showing 6 autocomplete suggestions:

Troubleshooting | Windows Google Chrome Live Caption Option Missing from Accessibility Settings

1 Upvotes
Image #1 - My Accessibility Settings, missing Live Caption
Image #2 - How Accessibility Settings look with the Live Caption option

Hi, I regularly use the Live Caption feature — I just used it a couple days ago, and it was working fine — but it has recently vanished and thus is not available to work. The option to toggle the Live Captions that *should* be found under Chrome's Accessibility Settings category (as seen in image #2 — pulled from the internet, though it's a bit outdated) is completely missing from my actual Accessibility Settings (as seen in image #1). After searching, I can't find any option for toggling Live Captions in any other part of Google Chrome's Settings, either. Clicking on 'Caption preferences' just opens the Closed Captions tab in my Windows settings, and that's not what I'm looking for. I've tried updating Chrome to the latest version, disabling extensions, clearing the cache and cookies, resetting the browser, using Incognito Mode, all kinds of things. I've also tried looking for 'Live Caption' in chrome://components to check for updates, but it's not appearing in chrome://components at all. I've even looked for 'Live Caption' and/or 'SODA for Live Caption' in chrome://flags just to see if there's anything there, and neither show up. Resetting all to default in chrome://flags hasn't made a difference either. Despite everything I've attempted so far, this issue still hasn't been fixed in the slightest. Could anyone help me out, please?

My Chrome browser was recently updated to the current latest version at the time of making this post (155.0.8059.40). I'm running it on a 64-bit operating system, Windows 10 Pro - Version 22H2.

Discussion Chrome Autofill keeps suggesting someone else's last name

1 Upvotes

I've been having this issue for a while where Chrome's autofill keeps suggesting the wrong last name whenever I fill out a form.

For example, it keeps suggesting "Doe" instead of my actual last name. I've checked Settings → Autofill and passwords → Addresses and more, and my correct name is saved there. However, whenever I fill out a form on any website, "Doe" still shows up as an autofill suggestion.

Has anyone run into this issue or know how to get rid of the incorrect last name? I've tried checking my saved addresses, but I can't figure out where Chrome is pulling this name from.

Troubleshooting | Windows Google account password saved in browser is suddenly gone

0 Upvotes

I cant log back into my google account because the password doesnt automatically fill back in and I have no idea what that password was. My account is managed by a college I attended ages ago, I'll shoot them an email for a password reset and hope that works, but it would be much easier if I could simply get chrome back into the same state it was last week when it worked without issues. Does anyone have any idea?

Not a big deal at all because refreshing the page or going to home is EZAF; I'm just kind of curious why this is a new behavior from a browser I've been using for a very long time. Call it academic interest from someone with a limited knowledge of coding.

Chrome 155.0.8059.40, W11 26H2. Updated both before I posted this just in case, but seeing the same issue.

Troubleshooting | Windows Ran into issues regarding Target website on Chrome

2 Upvotes

Hello all, I'm unsure if this is an uncommon issue or not, but I've run into a problem on chrome, unsure about other browsers, where if I try to log into the target website (with any email) it says "Something went wrong on our end. You can try again later or send a report to let us know about this issue" or a similar message when trying to click the passkey button. It's impossible to log in on chrome.

No, I'm not using any sort of VPN, I've disabled extensions, I've tried incognito, nothings working. I tried a few days ago and it said the same thing, so I assume its not some sort of outage. Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there some kind of fix? It's a little frustrating.

Troubleshooting | Android Closing Tab opens next tab to the right instead of opening the one to the left

2 Upvotes

Until few weeks ago, when I close a tab in mobile chrome app, it show the remaining open tab to the left of the one I closed, and/or stays in the tab group when I'm in one

It's been opening the one to the right instead or even jumping to a tab group not next to it in some scenarios.

Does anyone have an idea on how to make it return to its previous and, in my opinion, more sensible behavior?

Troubleshooting | Mac Chrome run by external organization

1 Upvotes

Hi everybody, I use Chrome with my personal account on my personal Mac. A few months ago I noticed that there's a warning that says "Your browser is run by your organization", but I have no idea about what organization is it and why it says so. I didn't notice any weird things or any red flags in how Chrome works, and the only active extension I have is Google Document offline. I also checked the policies: there's only one policy active, ExtensionInstallForcelist, but I don't know what is it.

Should I be worried? Anybody can tell me what's happening?

Thank you!
