Can running Firefox and Chrome at the same time cause problems?
Sometimes when I switch from FF to chrome, where I have many more tabs up, the pages on chrome refresh slowly (1 second?), from top to bottom.
I have Chrome open most of the time in the lower right corner of my screen and work mostly with tabs. Sometimes I need a new Chrome window (instance) and hit cmd-n.
Now the new window always opens up in the upper left and I have to center it.
Is there a way to automatically center new chrome windows (or maybe maximize them..)?
I'm using awesome as window manager for a small surf&info terminal. Chromium is started directly after login on the first workspace and should be displayed fullscreen. I've set the layout of all workspaces to awful.layout.suit.max and followed Awesome FAQ so that Chromium and all other (automatically) started programs will be shown on the right workspace. All programs except Chromium will start correctly in fullscreen mode.
I tried
{ rule = { class = "chromium-browser" },
properties = {floating = false, tag = tags[1][1]}}
and
{ rule = { class = "chromium-browser" }, properties = {tag = tags[1][1]}}
but Chromium will always start in floating mode. This is a bit annoying as you still see awesome's panel at the top.
I set up a Microsoft Exchange account on my iOS device to sync my Gmail contacts. But Microsoft Exchange is ignoring phone numbers that are labeled as 'iPhone' or 'main'.
For example, John Smith:
On Mac and Gmail:
John Smith
main: 123-334-1212
home: 123-330-1002
work: 123-330-8211
iPhone: 123-778-5556
On iOS device (via Exchange sync):
John Smith
home: 123-330-1002
work: 123-330-8211
I'd like to sync my contacts from my Mac to iCloud and Gmail, but you can't do both:
Is there a solution to sync iOS and Gmail contacts without using Exchange? Thanks for any help!
Office for Mac 2008 just asked me whether I wanted to update. However, on continuing with the update, a Window popped up saying that I needed to close Chrome before the update could continue. I find this rather suspicious, since Office should not need to go anywhere near Chrome.
Any idea why there might be a legitimate reason for this, or alternatively, just what is Microsoft trying to sneak on to my computer?
EDIT: I did look at the download details on Microsoft's website, but aside from the general guff about closing all open applications, it doesn't mention anything about Chrome or any browser plugins.
I like to use the Ctrl or Alt + Number shorcut to jump quickly to a specific tab. Problem is: When you have a lot of tabs open it is hard to look at them and quickly know which one is tab number 7.
Is there a way (extension possibly) to show a tab's number in its title?
This way each tab would have a number added to its title right beside the favicon. This way you could immediately tell which number you need to press to jump to a specific tab.
I use both Chromium and Firefox, so I'm accepting answers for either one (though I'd prefer both =) ).
Guidelines for answers:
ONE feature per answer.
Note a mail client that has the feature (if more than one have the feature, just pick one)
Summarize the feature, and describe why the it would be beneficial. (Include links and/or screen-shots where appropriate.)
i'm doing some research on how browsers support TLS-SRP (RFC5054).
I know that TLS-SRP is implemented in GnuTLS, OpenSSL as of release 1.0.1, Apache mod_gnutls, cURL, TLS Lite and SecureBlackbox.
I don't find any fresh source of information, only this from 2011: http://sim.ivi.co/2011/07/compare-tls-cipher-suites-for-web.html
I'm testing them manually at the moment, but as far as i know nobody seems to support it.
My interest is then in understanding if browsers are planning to support these ciphersuites in the future, apart from the current state.
Actual findings (i'm sorry i can't include more than 2 links):
Firefox: BugZilla bug id: 405155
IE: Microsoft connect Bug ID:788412 , date:22/05/2013 (closed)

Any other help?
I am a Student at Northeastern University. They use G-Apps for email ids, so whenever I need to email someone, using university Id which ends with husky.neu.edu. I have to go Gmails compose mail, They have some LDAP Setting by which I get all the email ids using AJAX in
"To" as soon as I start typing.
I want to configure same in Thunderbird, I contacted university but they are not able to help me. Is it possible that on my G-Apps Gmail Settings those LDAP Parameter needed for configuration are presents?
Can anyone help me? I want to configure a directory reference in my email client thunderbird, I dont know the parameters to use, it is possible I can get it somehow?
Ok i've tried a couple and they've been miles out.
I don't need anything automated or any json / xml etc just a good website where i can paste in an address, receive co-ords and then paste elsewhere.
anyone recommend a good one?
I frequently save pages as PDF from Chrome on OSX. The page is apple-P then click the PDF button and the "Save as PDF.." menu item. I always use the pre-filled filename and save in the default directory.
Is it possible to save this as an automator script? If that is possible I woulld sure like to add this as a button on Chrome somewhere so I can just "save this for reading later"
Thanks for any help.
Hi Im trying to print a php generated document in chrome, on the browser it looks fine But my printer will not print any coloured backgrounds.

As the end user will print this off I do not want to find alternatives like a screen grab or save file etc I want to find a real solution to this .
Can anyone offer any suggestions please ? Thanks
On Windows, I can add Gmail as a faux application to the Taskbar, by using something like "add to task bar" in the Wrench-Tools menu. This promotes it to appear as a native application in the task bar.
I notice that the same menu item isn't there for Chrome on Mac - at least, not in the same place. I'm looking for a "Add to Dock" function.
Can this be done on the OS X version of Chrome? If so, how? I'm sick of having my email client hanging out with the other browser tabs.
Fortify.net is a service that displays what's the currently encryption key used by your browser in a https connection.
If I browse this site with Chrome 4.1.249.1042 in WinXp SP3 the key used is
RC4 cipher, 128-bit key
This encryption is weak, and it's the one used by old browsers like IE6.
Chrome works fine on Fedora9 and it uses
AES cipher, 256-bit key
as more modern browsers do (i.e.Firefox)
I consider this a security issue. I'm considering to switch back to Firefox in Windows.
Do you know if it's possible to change the default encryption key in Chrome?
I upgraded from Karmic Koala to Lucid Lynx beta, was working fine for a while (was even rebooting). But, after some time, it is not booting and i cant find a solution.
I have tried installing the grub again, doesn't help.
Well, the problem is all my settings, bookmarks and passwords are blocked in that partition. I cant find where the Chrome stores bookmarks in Ubuntu.
Can you help me either getting my system rebooted or getting the bookmarks ?
Thanks.
p.s. I am currently on liveusb.
Is there any way to pin Chrome applications to its jumplist on Windows 7? I'm currently running v4 from the beta channel.
I've been able to pin the pages I'd like to the jumplist, but I'd like to have them open as Chrome applications rather than as new tabs.
I often have 6 or 7 separate Chrome windows open, often with 5-10 tabs in each. When I look at Windows Task Manager, I see each chrome.exe process, with some using a large amount of memory. How can I find which particular tab the process refers to? I want to know which one uses the most memory and close that tab instead of having to close every Chrome window. Is there any way to get this information? This is on Windows Vista, but it is the same on other versions of Windows as well.
Hello there,
A friend of mine (who is not a geek) asks me how to stop her little brother from playing web games on her computer. She is currently using Chrome and IE, and I have never done that before, even on FF.
I would prefer a solution that is simple and does not require additional applications. Although it seems unlikely, is there a solution that works for all browsers (i.e. do it once and I never have to fix it for a new browser)?
Thanks.
Facebook becomes unresponsive after a second or two when I open Chrome. This problem happens every few weeks or so, and it's incredibly annoying. I've disabled Chrome's internal pepper flash:

I've also tried disabling all extensions, and even tried it in incognito mode. Facebook works just fine in Firefox, but it's totally unusable in Chrome.
The problem goes away eventually, but it returns every now and then and it's super annoying.
Chrome version: 30.0.1599.101 (Official Build 227552) m
How can I fix this?
I have access to Firefox but not Chrome under XP. I would like extensions to make it more Chrome-like: in particular,
1: A tabbed theme that works like Chrome.
2: One address/search bar that will go to URLs and submit search queries appropriately.
(I have already installed "Download Statusbar.")
I am looking on a relatively superficial level; I'm not hoping to simulate V8 or Chrome's screaming render times. But I would like a setup that minimally breaks the illusion for someone accustomed to Chrome.

I'm having difficulty connecting Chrome to TOR. I started trying yesterday. I started Vidalia and the TOR Browser and then followed the advice at http://lifehacker.com/5614732/create-a-tor-button-in-chrome-for-on+demand-anonymous-browsing - downloading Proxy Switchy and setting it up as stated.
This resulted in Error 130 (net::ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED) (in Chrome, when I tried to load a webpage). So I looked into Vidalia's settings and noticed that it appeared to be using port 9051, so I set that instead of 8118 as everyone on the internet seems to be suggesting.
Then I got a new error: Error 111 (net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED). Digging a bit, I found that Tor should be set as a SOCKS proxy, not an HTTP proxy, so I unticked "use same settings for all protocols" in Proxy Switchy and just set localhost:9051 for SOCKS. That got me Error 7 (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT).
And that's when I came here for help. I typed up the above question, but then at the last minute decided to do a bit more reading and found someone here suggested using some command line arguments via a Windows shortcut:
"C:\snip\chrome.exe" --proxy-server=";socks=127.0.0.1:9051;sock4=127.0.0.1:9051;sock5=127.0.0.1:9051" --incognito check.torproject.org
And that worked perfectly. Yesterday. Today it doesn't, so I'm having to post this question after all. check.torproject.org gives me a "no" with Chrome, but a "yes" with the default Tor Browser. I tried closing Chrome and restarting it (yes, with the correct shortcut) after Vidalia started, but still nothing. The port number hasn't changed or anything. What gives?
EDIT: I realized I had a "non tor" instance of Chrome running and that possibly the was causing the command line args t be ignored when I started the new instance. Closed all instances of chrome and ran my Chrome Tor shortcut, and it did get rid of the "not using Tor" message -- because I got another Time Out error instead. Vidalia's bandwidth graph didn't even blink.
