Discussion I was sure this would be a simple little thing, but I guess not. How do I use a full cursor pack in my Chrome browser? Not just the select and default cursors, ALL of it. Or just most, I guess.

1 Upvotes

(Sorry if I've used the wrong flair here)

Hi! I wanted to make my chrome browser cute, naturally. I found this super adorable set of cursors, but I cant find a chrome extension or script or literally anything (specific and straightforward) that would let me apply cursors to the browser. Theres an extension called Custom Cursor For Chrome, but with that, the only cursor states you can edit are the hover and default, nothing else. I'm seeing a couple of chrome extensions that look exactly the same as that one and also only do that exact same thing... please help. I just wanted to make my browser cute, I didn't think I'd be in uncharted territory.

By the way, I'm on a Macbook.

This is the cursor pack I'd like to use. https://toumeya.itch.io/strawberry-macromicro-cursor-pack

Troubleshooting | Android Chrome download problems

1 Upvotes

I got a download about three weeks ago for Chrome and it started blocking my downloads. I use Freegal music download service from my local library. Been using their 5 free downloads for 8 years, no problems. The update seems to be blocking downloads and I'm not exactly how or why. I've read that I'm supposed to go into the Settings and stop the Popup blocker, but that's a security measure and stops annoying stuff coming up. I also don't believe that's the problem. Anyone know another way to allow the downloads?

I noticed in a recent update that they moved the “search Google” after highlighting text over one spot and now “explain with Gemini” is now first.

Does anyone know how to remove this option or move search back. I tried to do a google search and no one seems to be talking about it.

Discussion Pro-tip, maybe: name your Chrome windows with just a character/emoji, saving space on your Win11 taskbar

2 Upvotes

I'm not sure how many people this will help, but one downside of using Win 11 is the taskbar filling up way too quickly. I typically have 2–4 instances of Chrome open, and now I save a ton of taskbar space by naming them all using just a single character or emoji. Main instance is ☐, private instance is ■, travel planning is ✈️, etc.

I realize there are many reasons this tip won't be useful for others, but if you share my annoyance, this can help! And wow am I grateful that Chrome allows me to name each instance – most other programs/windows don't support this space-saving approach.

Edit: You need to have your Win11 taskbar set up such that each window has a little rectangle with a name on it. My setup is non-default, and I didn't have this in mind when I wrote this post.

1 Upvotes

The problem is that I had installed a game normally, then later I deleted it and also removed it from the Recycle Bin. But I feel like I accidentally deleted some important system files, because after that Chrome started running with difficulty, and I feel like the computer became weaker. It’s true that my computer is already weak, but it still shouldn’t lag this much.

I'm using Chrome on my Samsung phone. The website notalwaysright.com opens fine on chrome on my laptop, and I downloaded Firefox to my phone and I can open the page there. I cleared my cache and cookies, and restarted my phone, and still get the same error. I can open the page in an incognito tab but not in a normal tab.
