Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome History now collapses different URLs with the same title into one single entry

1 Upvotes

An issue I've only discovered recently, it was very confusing at first.

Using Tumblr as an example, the main feed is tumblr.com/dashboard, and the setting pages are tumblr.com/settings/account and /settings/privacy, etc. All of these pages have the same title, just the single word "Tumblr". So if you visit several of these pages at different times, or if you keep these pages open in different tabs at the same time, Chrome's history tab would only save one single entry for Tumblr, with the URL being based on which page has been loaded most recently. I just want it to go back to normal, saving based on different URLs instead of titles.

Tumblr is the most obvious example I could think of, and there aren't many other websites I visit that have the same title for different URLs. But I've confirmed that this issue isn't exclusive to Tumblr, it happens with Pixiv too, so this has to be an issue with Chrome.

Discussion Looking for a non-agentic, context-aware writing assistant for Chrome

1 Upvotes

I recently moved back to Chrome after spending quite a bit of time using ChatGPT Atlas. Since Atlas is being discontinued, Chrome makes sense for me, especially because I can use ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini directly from the sidebar.

But there’s one Atlas feature I miss, and I haven’t found a good replacement for it.

In Atlas, you could focus any text field, trigger a shortcut (cmd + E), and get a small prompt bubble. You could ask it to write (or rewrite) something, and it would use the full context of the current page. It wasn’t trying to be an agent or run a workflow, it was simply a very good contextual writing assistant.

For example: “Write a concise, friendly reply to this email,” “turn this into a Reddit post,” or “reply to this WhatsApp message.” It understood the page and gave you text you could use immediately.

Most Chrome sidebars seem to handle this poorly. They try very hard to become agents: creating drafts, scanning inboxes, analysing things, launching multi-step workflows, etc. That can be useful sometimes, but it’s slow and overkill when all I want is excellent contextual writing help in the field I’m currently typing in.

Has anyone found a Chrome extension or workflow that gets close to this? Ideally:

  • Works from any text field via a shortcut
  • Understands the current page’s context (very) well
  • Lets me give a simple writing prompt
  • Returns text quickly
  • Is not agentic / doesn’t start heavy workflows

I’d love recommendations

Troubleshooting | Windows Is there a way to retrieve Chrome tabs from a corrupted OS

0 Upvotes

My laptop died and is no longer able to boot up (Critical Process Died error) the repair shop said they believe my hardware is fine and the OS is corrupted and will need Windows reinstalled. I have a ton of tabs still stored in Chrome, about 100. How can I retrieve those tabs if possible before or after the reinstall? Thanks.

Troubleshooting | Mac Chrome drops focus to desktop wallpaper when toggling full-screen mode on YouTube (macOs)

0 Upvotes

After a certain threshold, whenever I press F or click the full-screen button on YouTube in Chrome, the browser window temporarily disappears or drops to the desktop before/after full-screen transitions.

This behaviour is seen when I am using twitch on brave. I have purchased a new macbook. And it is very annoying can you help me diagnose this issue?

Is this a known Chrome GPU rendering bug or a macOS Space transition glitch? Any fix recommendations?

Please find the screen recording of the same here: https://youtu.be/Gj1fHE3-u0o

Thanks

Troubleshooting | Windows Why doesn't Chrome update automatically?

Upvotes

AI is finding hundreds of vulnerabilities every month. I read that Chrome is supposed to check for updates every 5 hours, but it's been longer than that and most of our systems are still on version 150.0.7871.129. We're not being prompted to update to 150.0.7871.182. How often are you prompted to update?
