To prevent annoyance with Chrome's persistent "Page(s) Unresponsive" popup, I've disabled them using .   However, this has the effect of allowing a true webpage hang to simply hang forever. It simply refuses to close unless I force-quit using task manager (which is not a good idea as many other tabs will end up getting killed along with it).  Is there a way to make the "Page(s) Unresponsive" popup show after a very long delay, for example after a page has hanged for 10 minutes or more?

I want to change the default timeout in Chrome. In Firefox I can set the value of network.http.connection-timeout in about:config - but how can I do that in Chrome?

I'm a normal-sighted person and I would like to view pages at 100% all the time. I use keyboard shortcuts that involve Ctrl a lot, so about twenty times a day I accidentally hit Ctrl at the same time that I'm scrolling, which results in the page being reflowed and repainted. This is annoying because it can take up to 30 seconds to fix the issue, depending on how complex the site layout is. On sites with dynamic layout such as Google Docs the problem is more serious; accidentally hitting Ctrl+mouse wheel corrupts the display and forces me to refresh the page entirely, sometimes causing me to loose information in the process.   I would like to either decouple Ctrl+mouse wheel from zoom, or disable zoom functionality altogether. This is  by using about:config; is there a similar way to edit detailed settings in Chrome? Would I have access to the detailed settings if I used Chromium instead of Chrome? I'll probably jump ship back to Firefox if I can't solve this problem.   There is a superuser question that asks basically the same thing I'm asking, but  exclusively. Other people on the Chrome forum have had related issues, but none have the same problem. "" had "something with laptops and Windows 7", not the feature built into Chrome. Other people have had PDF specific issues, which doesn't concern me.   I've also tried searching for extensions that allow you to disable the scroll; I had hoped that "" would have the ability to lock the zoom at 100% and prevent Ctrl+scroll wheel from distorting the display, but it doesn't work for my use case.   I am using Google Chrome (version 9.0.597.84 (Official Build 72991)) on Ubuntu 10.10.

There are times when the Firefox responds reluctantly. And it is not only when I have opened many tabs. But there are cases when I have opened as many as 20 tabs and Firefox is working fine and there are cases when I have opened just 5-6 tabs and Firefox behaves lazy.    So, I guess it do not depend on the number of tabs and there must be a specific tab which causes the problem. Isn't there a way to find that tab out and close only that instead of closing Firefox completely1? Is there an addon for that, or a script?

I want to open a tab and nothing but a tab. So far, I have used  and specified a blank redirect URL, which becomes about:blank. But when I press CMD/CTRL + T it gives focus to the location bar but puts the cursor after about:blank. Is there a way to either clear about:blank entirely or select all the text, so I can start typing straight away and not have to CMD/CTRL + A and backspace/delete?  EDIT:  I tried :  html {     display: none !important; }   With the  for URL chrome://newtab but it didn't work.

I'm running Google Chrome. When I do anything that'll save a file to my local filesystem - right-click and "Save As", click a download link, save an image - nothing happens for a good 20-30 seconds, and then suddenly the operation proceeds as normal.  The browser remains responsive whilst this is going on - I can navigate to other pages and so on - but the delay is infuriating. Especially since it often looks like nothing's happening, so I'll hit the download link again - and again - and then suddenly end up downloading four copies of the same file.  Any ideas?

Since I've left Chrome as my main browser, every time I use it as secondary browser, Chrome enters in an eternal loop requesting my password to access each keychain bundle of my system. No matter how many times I click "cancel" it just keeps asking access to my passwords.  Is it possible to just make Google Chrome stop asking for my keychain? Once this start, browsing is not possible. The whole window is blocked with the repeated pop ups.

This is a follow-up to : ulimit and cgroups are not user friendly, and besides, wouldn't work with applications that spawn separate processes, such as Chrome/Chromium for each new (group of) tabs.  The simple and effective solution, used by Windows 7 actually, is to warn the user that the OS is running low on memory. This simple warning pop-up has prevented me from having any low-memory-caused system freeze in Windows, while I kept running into them on Ubuntu distros that I was testing live (where the RAM-mounted disk would eat up 2GB alone).  So, is there some way to automatically warn the user that the available RAM is nearing zero, without the user having to keep an eye on some memory monitoring gadget? Surely  could be configured to do that?

I am getting "Google Chrome didn't shut down correctly" twice a week - it becomes a very annoying problem -  I always fixed this issue by removing the chrome's default user profile and re-opening the chrome, but doing this will remove all my extensions / apps / bookmarks / settings.   but this is happening more often and I keep losing settings   is there a way to end this madness? I am running Win 8.1 / latest version of chrome

I tried the following code to get an alert upon closing a browser window:  window.onbeforeunload = confirmExit; function confirmExit() {   return "You have attempted to leave this page.  If you have made any changes to the fields without clicking the Save button, your changes will be lost.  Are you sure you want to exit this page?"; }   It works, but if the page contains one hyperlink, clicking on that hyperlink raises the same alert. I need to show the alert only when I close the browser window and not upon clicking hyperlinks.

What is the best way to detect if a user leaves a web page?  The onunload JavaScript event doesn't work every time (the HTTP request takes longer than the time required to terminate the browser).  Creating one will probably be blocked by current browsers.

I'm looking for a solution to forbid links in Google Chrome to open new tabs (in most cases it is a target="_blank" issue).  So, I want all links to open pages in currently active tab, not in new tab.  I tried a wide range of addons (for ex. "Death to target=_blank") and greasemonkey scripts that are supposed to remove target=_blank attribute but none of them worked.  It is extremally anoying when I want to switch between accounts in GMail or navigate from GMail to GDrive. I always get the new tab opened and I need to close last tab manually.

I need to disable SSL browsing completely in Chrome.  If not completely, at least disable  and force  to load, FOR EXAMPLE (FB is just an example - i understand that TODAY it does not permit non-secure browsing).

I used to open many interesting questions from Stack Overflow (10..80 tabs) in my browser and then read them slowly over weeks. My browser (Opera) knows to reopen the last tabs but I'm afraid it has an aggressive caching mechanism.  By that I mean it shows me I'm still logged in but when I try to post a response or a comment I'm given a strange error message (for example: Cannot add comment because the answer has been locked or deleted) when all that is wrong is that I'm no longer logged in.   Refreshing the page prior to posting (along with re-logging in) solves the problem.  My issue is: shouldn't the error message state something along the lines: "you're not logged in suckaa..."?

I am using Google Chrome. I re-installed it today as it was crashing when I start it. I guess may be that this was due to any of my Extensions or Google Update. I disabled my extensions but it was still crashing. Now I installed an old version of chrome from . However, Chrome automaticallyuppdates itself (although Windows asks me before installing and I don't grant it permissions, its still annoying to get Google update asking me permission after a couple of minutes.   I saw the question at  however, it doesn't seem to hlp me. i disabled the service and I stopped it as well, but the problem still persists. I also tried to look into the registry according to the following link:  but the "Policies" section of my registry doesn't contain any folder called "Google". I use Windows 7 - 64 bit Home Premium Service pack 1.  Could anybody help? Thanks a ton!

When I click "Start a Bounty" I get the dialog asking me to choose how many points to offer, but when I click Next nothing happens (the dialog stays, no points are subtracted, no bounty is added). Clicking X or pressing ESC will clear the dialog, clicking cancel jumps to the top of the page but the popup is still on the screen.  Tested on several SE sites, on both questions posted by me, and questions posted by others.  This is on the latest version of IE, 11.1358.10586.0 on Windows 10. Tested on two machines (a desktop and a MS Surface).   Both are in the same corporate network, so I suppose that could be a factor, although I can't imagine that firewall settings would prohibit that one specific action, while I can do everything else on SE sites.   EDIT: Still broken. Proof? Had to use Chrome to add a bounty to this question.

Possible Duplicate:          I'm not sure what the proper term for the window outline is (chrome, I think?), but it keeps disappearing.    As you can see, theres no File->Exit or buttons that allow me to minimize or close this dialog. So instead it stays on top of everything else (unless I 'Switch To' another window). There is also no Processes tab or anything.  Since you cant right click the toolbar or bring up another instance of Task Manager, the only way to actually kill this dialog seems to be restarting. However the next time I bring up Task Manager, it will still refuse to go away.  Anyone know whats going on? I'm running 32-bit Vista SP1.

I am working on a web application that is using redirects (for pretty URLs).  I am trying to debug logic in the way the redirects are working. However Google Chrome keeps remembering the redirects and even after I change the code, redirecting the same way.  This is making it very hard to troubleshoot.  For example if I redirect /this to /that, then change my code to NOT redirect /this anymore. Google Chrome is still redirecting to /that. Like the redirect is cached or something. Is there a way to turn this off?
