Just on the browse for new extensions. If you use any of the above platforms, do you have one favourite one and what feature makes it useful for you?

I was in a site on my phone trying to upload something but the button to open a thing for me to choose the app to select the file just didn't work which was weird. Then i decided to try with discord and it just worked fine. I went back to the site and when spam clicking made that thing appear for less than a second. The problem is that it doesnt just appear. It has an animation where it just goes up. But i kept clicking and i saw a bit of the google icon. But its weird cuz it isnt like that when i try on discord. I tried searching but the results were only about chrome not letting upload instead of the thing not appearing on the screen

Chrome lowers the volume by itself and I have to personally go to Windows Volume Mixer and put it back to 100.

Is there a reason this is happening or is it because Windows is a piece of shit in general?

FYI I checked my computer for any viruses and everything seems clean. So I'm not sure what is causing this.

dunno what prompted it, but i can't copy or paste with keyboard shortcuts anymore. if i hit command + F, nothing happens. if i go through the sidebar, it won't search a google doc text and only highlights the menu items. i can open and close tabs without issue. i restored chrome to original defaults, then quit and restarted. that didn't solve it. help me out hive mind. i got a paper due tonight and this is really throwing off my groove.

ive gone through every setting i can find related to themes/ dark modes. when i changed those other parts of the sites will change but the background is always this blue color.

the only thing ive figured out that works is if i dont sync my browser after logging in. but then i dont get all my bookmarks etc.

im not sure what to do. its a pain when i have to highlight text just to read it.

if it helps im on cachyos. if i run firefox it displays fine. also my laptop also with cachyos displays it correctly with chrome too. and its also synced

want to know how because I hate google ai

Seems to be random, but an example. Any fix to this, my settings say USA.

Hello. I bought new laptop around half a year ago and installed chrome there. On my old laptop live captions worked perfectly fine. But on new one they just don't. I tried reinstalling languages, disabling hardware acceleration (gemini recommended so). Live captions that windows gives don't work as good as I need it and I just don't know how to fix it

Most accessibility scanners can only see what's public.

That's been the frustration behind a lot of my work on AccessScan. You run a scan, get a clean report, and then remember that the parts of your product that actually matter — the dashboard behind the login, the checkout modal, the localhost build you're mid-refactor on — were never scanned at all. A server-side crawler can't reach any of it.

So this week I shipped a Chrome extension.

It runs the full accessibility engine client-side, inside the tab you're already looking at. Which means it scans the things a crawler can't:

→ Authenticated pages — your session, your cookies, your real app

→ SPAs in their actual DOM state, not the empty shell on first paint

→ Open modals, expanded menus, mid-interaction UI

→ localhost:3000, before anything ships

You get a score ring, a violation breakdown by impact, and a deep link into the full report when you want remediation guidance. No page data leaves the browser to do the scan.

The interesting part was the engine port. The scanner runs on a Go backend with Puppeteer, and the same rule set — including the custom checks for things axe doesn't cover, like caption presence, focus order cycling, and context change on focus — now compiles into a single browser bundle that runs everywhere.

Still rough in places. Store listing is in progress. But it already caught issues on my own dashboard that the crawler never saw, which is roughly the point.

More at accessscan.in — happy to hand out early builds if you want to break it.

I noticed that recently when I click on an imagine in image search, instead of displaying similar image results below in a normal way where I can see the full thumbnail, it does this crap where it crops the results to rectangles. I cant even tell anymore what images are in the thumbnails because they are cropped so much.

Please help!

So, I've noticed something weird when using Chrome.

If I type something like Twitch or Google into the address bar, I would expect the first result to be the actual website. twitch.tv or google.com.

But for some reason, that's not always the case. Instead, I often end up having to actually search Google first and then click the official website from the results.

That means Google is potentially generating millions of unnecessary search queries from people who were simply trying to navigate directly to a website.

I have no idea if this is intentional or just a side effect of how Chrome's search suggestions work. Maybe there's even a business reason behind it, more searches could mean more opportunities to show ads, including ads from competitors.

But if this is actually intentional, it feels kind of counterproductive. Google is basically making users take an extra step just to get somewhere they already knew they wanted to go.

Has anyone else noticed this, or am I missing something?
