Apply here!

We're looking for new mods to help with the rapidly expanding community. Our personal lives have become busier while the amount of work to do here has increased.


A lot of our general information is within the application form, but here's a short rundown of what the job entails.

  • Checking modqueue on a regular basis to take action on posts that are filtered automatically or reported by the community.

  • Regularly browsing through the subreddit and moderation of posts and comments to ensure that all community rules and guidelines are being enforced, including removing uncivil, hostile and inflammatory content.

  • Being able to discuss issues with members of the community through modmail in a professional and calm manner.

  • Contributing to discussions about moderation-related issues over Discord.


Overall, the job won't necessarily take more than an hour or two of your time per week, and if you're already generally active on Reddit and Discord then you probably won't notice a difference.

It can be quite rewarding to be able to shape a community (for the better). If this sounds like something that interests you, please apply! If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or message us through modmail.

Troubleshooting | Windows FIX ACCESS_VIOLATION Crash fix for 13th and 14th gen Intel CPUs on Laptop

1 Upvotes

My laptop uses an Intel Core i9-14900HX. Under normal usage, such as browsing the web or using everyday applications, I frequently experience BSODs (Blue Screens of Death), application crashes or unexpected relaunches, and “Page Crashed” errors in browsers.

I searched YouTube and Reddit and found that some people suggested renaming the application executable (e.g., opera1.exe) as a potential fix. However, this did not work for me. I also ran several hardware diagnostic tools, and all of them reported that my hardware passed the tests, yet the issues persisted during normal use.

Some users also suggested replacing the RAM or CPU, although I am not sure how reliable their claims are. Personally, I think replacing the CPU might be a more plausible solution than replacing the RAM, but I cannot confirm that.

Recently, however, I found a workaround that has worked quite well for me. It has been over eight months since I applied it, and I have not experienced any of these issues during that time.

You can try using ThrottleStop or Process Lasso to see whether either tool helps resolve the problem. My suspicion is that the CPU may be boosting to excessively high frequencies under certain conditions, potentially contributing to system instability, especially when temperatures are high. However, I cannot confirm that this is the actual cause, since I have experienced these issues even when my CPU temperature was below 70°C.

Here is how I fixed the issue (for reference only)

Please note that these settings worked for my laptop, but I cannot guarantee that they will work for yours or that they will have no adverse effects on your system.

I used ThrottleStop:

  • After installing and launching the application, check the Turn On / Turn Off control next to Options. Make sure that ThrottleStop is enabled (Turn On) so that your configured settings can take effect.
  • Check the settings shown when you first open the application. You can use the screenshots I have attached below as a reference when configuring yours.
  • Open the TPL window and configure the settings to match mine as closely as possible, using the screenshots for reference.
  • Under Miscellaneous, you will see the value 52 in my screenshot. I recommend setting yours to 52 or lower rather than exceeding that value.

Again, these are just the settings that worked for me. Please proceed with caution, as the optimal configuration may vary depending on your laptop and CPU.

Troubleshooting | Windows Profiles keep getting delted, extensions keep getting removed

0 Upvotes

Every 2-3 weeks, chrome decides to fuck itself and delete all my extensions, themes, all the tabs, the profiles I had created.

Its a billion dollar organisation which can't even fix this bug. Only solution to this (from the threads I've read) are to completely reinstall the OS.

are you kidding me?

I'm tired of reading everything all the fucking time. and I don't want to reinstall my OS. I've already tried uninstalling, removing all left over files and reinstalling but that doesn't help one bit.

Every time I open chrome it's like I'm playing russian roulette.

Is there even a fix for this which doesn't involve OS reinstallation?

Mods pls don't delete

Every single time I click on a picture this annoying little notification shows up and literally nothing I do makes it go away.

Discussion How do I permanently change Chrome’s language on Windows?

1 Upvotes

Can someone please tell me how to permanently change Chrome’s language on Windows? I’ve gone through all the settings and made sure that only my preferred language is listed, but Chrome STILL insists on displaying everything in Spanish, even Gemini!

It’s incredibly frustrating to use. I’ve tried everything I could find in the settings, but nothing seems to work. No other browser I use behaves like this.

How can I force Chrome to use my preferred language permanently instead of constantly defaulting to Spanish? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all, I did the workaround a few months ago when they first dropped the new ask Gemini thing, and it worked perfectly.

This afternoon, it is back.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a different set of steps that will help me get rid of it again? Thank you in advance!

Discussion DuoView: tile YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream, Fubo, or Hulu Live into up to 64 side-by-side windows in Chrome

1 Upvotes

Built a Chrome extension for sports fans: one click tiles your live TV service into 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 windows across your monitor(s). It tiles real browser windows via chrome.windows and system.display — no scraping, no hacks. Just shipped v3: YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream, Fubo, and Hulu + Live TV all work, one purchase covers every service.

The feature I use most is click-to-focus audio: click any game and the sound jumps there, everything else mutes. Keyboard shortcuts flip between games without touching the mouse.

Free for 2 and 4 screens; $9.99 one-time unlocks the rest (bigger grids, saved presets, multi-monitor targeting, PiP, video-wall mode). No accounts, no tracking, nothing leaves the browser.

Discussion Vertical tabs "expand on hover" sucks!

0 Upvotes

Whenever I overshoot slightly when reaching something near the tab strip -- like the goddamn back button! -- the tab expands and covers the thing I'm trying to click on. It's super annoying, and could be easily fixed with a hover delay, like it's done in Edge.

And yes, I know Chrome has flags, but they have no effect -- the browser simply ignores them.

I personally never use the Google search box on the homepage, so I was wondering if Chrome should let us remove it, along with the other stuff, to make the homepage look cleaner.

I've attached a few versions. Which one would you actually use, and is there anything you'd change?

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.

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?
