#Chrome UI

[magnusbae]

Hello my dears, New day, new horrendous Chrome UI update. 🎉🎉🎉

Fear not, even while they removed the flags from the settings which permitted to disable it in previous waves, and really want you to use their new UI, and really do act like a bully who just doesn't accept the word 'no'— there's still a way to disable it :)

thanks reddit user diegounion 🤍

Basically you right click the icon of the chrome wherever you usually use it, this guide will be for taskbar, under the cut other locations if you need :)

1.CLOSE ALL CHROME WINDOWS!! 2.Right click the chrome icon on the taskbar:

2.right click the chrome line again and click "properties"

3.inside the tab "shortcut" on the target/destination line, you must add the disabling of the new update in the following manner:

You will see this written: "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" you will need to add, with a space, this: --disable-features=CustomizeChromeSidePanel It'll end up like this: "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-features=CustomizeChromeSidePanel 4.Apply and it's fixed, cheers :)

copy pasted from reddit for the other chrome shortcut locations:

If you have Chrome pinned to the start menu, open Windows Explorer and navigate here: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs When you find the Chrome icon, repeat the six steps. If you have Chrome on your desktop, you do the same, repeat the six steps.

so when you hover over tumblrs reblog icon theres this little window that pops up where you can add tags and queue/reblog without having to open the post, wait for it to load, click through 5 different options,etc

but like. for some reason it only works on chrome, so i have to open chrome (my default is firefox) whenever i wanna use it

which is whatever but today chrome told me uBlock origin isn't supported anymore and doesnt work which is a big red flag and makes me even more wary of chrome than ever.

is there any possible way i can make it work on firefox, or is it simply a chrome-only feature?? any help appreciated

[tevintersoldier]

just downloaded and set up firefox and i like it a lot more than google chrome already!! been putting off this switch for years, but it literally took like five minutes max to download extensions etc. and most of them got transferred over from chrome anyway. a very chill experience

[roseverdict]

hey why can't i switch back to the version of the app i'd been using before today

How to fix the new Youtube layout:

I got on Youtube and they had a new layout that I couldn't stand. So I found the solution on Reddit. The Chrome extension Youtube Enhancer reverts it back to the original look. Hope this helps someone!

[hopalongfairywren]

im so fucking upset.

[comradecowplant]

is my browser broken (oh because it HAS been broken irt tumblr specifically not loading properly/refusing to scroll back up/needing to refresh the page after reblogging, but that's not the point right now) or is there no schewpid april fools thing this year? hm the musicians sure have started playing from the life boat deck of this site huh

Does anyone have any mobile browser suggestions? I currently use chrome for some things, and Firefox as my secondary browser. I recently had to update chrome so now the tabs are in that tile format instead of the list-like format and it's almost unusable for me. Are there any mobile browsers that allow for the list format of open tabs (aside from Firefox)??

[camillechillin]

Every update to Chrome makes it look ever so slightly more like Firefox.

[hoodiedeer]

does that new rewritten whatever its called xkit have postblock. ill consider going through the trouble of setting it up if it has postbloc kbecause im fucking SICK of not having postblock not having postblock fucking sucks dude

If this can actually work without any chance of data being de-anonymized, this would be a good thing. (Assuming that the ad industry is willing to adopt this, which isn't a given.)

But Mozilla did kinda fuck up the communication on this one and the reasoning for their opt-out approach on this one is really fucking ironic considering that they don't apply that same reasoning to their privacy features (especially the stricter ones), which are usually opt-in.

And I don't know about anybody else here, but I don't make a habit of reading release notes unless something breaks and I doubt I'm alone in that. So, without that first tumblr post I wouldn't even know about this experiment to be able to opt-out in the first place. And, yes, this is active in the unmodified test profile I just reset.

Whether or not the original article was misinfo or the linked support page from mozilla is completely honest or making bullshit smell like roses is not something anybody can judge without actually looking at the source code.

Which, incidentally I found linked in the comment section of the reddit post mozilla's CTO made to deal withe media nightmare this turned into.

So, if anybody who actually has the expertise to make that judgement wants to chime in, because I really don't, there are two links to the source code inside firefox and two with the source code of the other half of that equation in that comment.

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol

I need to use Google Chrome at work. Both the three-dot menu and Settings are such a mess of options and whatnot now.

Every time I need to go look for something in either after an update, I have to take a moment to figure out what is where now among all the new things added.

The selectmenu Element is No More…Long Live select!

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/the-selectmenu-element-is-no-morelong-live-select/

The selectmenu Element is No More…Long Live select!

I was looking over an older article Patrick Brosset penned for us introducing <selectmenu>, a new proposal at the time for a more style-able cousin to <select>. From there, I clicked the linked-up <selectmenu> explainer and got… this:

OK, link rot is a thing and happens all the time. Perhaps the site needs a little URL designing? But no, it’s not that at all. I searched a bit and found Jared White’s post saying that <selectmenu> is no more, which came by way of Una’s post over at the Chrome Developer Blog seeking feedback on a “customizable select”. And Adam Argyle’s got a wonderful demo dedicated to it, no surprise there.

I’m only sharing the links for now but plan to spend some time with it and jot down notes on Open UI’s new page for the Customizable <select>. I enjoyed looking at the boilerplate from Adam’s demo as a first glance:

select &, &::picker(select) appearance: base-select; &::picker(select) transition: display allow-discrete 1s, opacity 1s, overlay 1s allow-discrete ; &:not(:open)::picker(select) opacity: 0; &:open::picker(select) opacity: 1; @starting-style opacity: 0;

I see the ::picker(select) there that’s driving all of it. If I sneak a peek at Una’s post, I see that there are more ways to select different <select> parts, including:

<selectedoption> (the current selection)

<option> (which now accepts HTML in between the tags!)

option::before

option:checked (a little confusion here with the selected option)

<button> (the little chevron arrow marker thingy)

So, perhaps Chrome is more of a fan of extending the native <select> with additional CSS features for selecting the existing parts rather than moving forward with a completely new element. That’s cool, as one of Una’s demos shows how we still get the default <select> behavior even if a browser does not support the new selectors.

also i hate the windows autotiler cause it absolutely does not work how i want an autotiler to work (biased cause i use hyprland on my personal setup) and just randomly moves windows from a different monitor even when another window is present in the other tiled position
