I have a high end PC which is able to run games at very high fps with high resolution, as well as a very fast ethernet connection.

The only issue I have is chrome's memory usage exploding when I begin watching a YouTube video.

Note that at this time I only had one YouTube tab open (despite the (20) after YouTube).

Has anybody else had this issue before? Is this some sort of memory leak on YouTube's end? Any help in resolving the issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone. I’d like to know if anyone has experienced something similar or has any idea what might be causing it.

My phone was idle and not being used. When I picked it up, I noticed a notification in the status bar that came directly from Google Chrome (I verified this in the system settings). The notification said something along the lines of “New app for you.” When I tapped it, it opened a webpage that was trying to imitate the Google Play Store and prompted me to download a casino app.

A few important details about my situation:

No websites have notification permissions enabled in Chrome’s settings.

Chrome does not have permission to install apps from unknown sources.

I never install apps from outside the official Google Play Store.

I regularly use Malwarebytes, and no malware has been detected on my device.

My phone was idle, with no apps open, when the notification appeared.

Does anyone know how Chrome itself could display this kind of notification without any website having notification permission? Is there another way a website or some other source could trigger a notification like this?

Edit: - A few hours prior, I was browsing some websites using Chrome's Incognito Mode, but I actively closed all tabs right after. - I checked Chrome's Site Settings > Notifications immediately after the alert appeared, and the allowed list was completely empty. - The page opened a fake URL delivering an APK, but I closed it instantly and did not download anything.

It randomly showed up how to make it end?

We all have a dozen extensions installed and forget half of them (or more). I'm more interested in the ones that actually survive.

What's the single Chrome extension you open or rely on every day, and what does it do for you?

Not your whole list. Just the ONE you'd reinstall first on a new laptop. Bonus points if it's something most people haven't heard of. Single use cases and niche extensions are really welcome as those could be truly interesting.

I'll start: uBlock Origin Lite.

Every page loads faster and cleaner, and I notice immediately when I'm on a machine without it.

Ok, now your turn...

After my bank account got hacked and was notified. My Gmail account notification alerted me about someone changing my password. So I quickly changed my passwords, signed out of all devices and updated new passwords, did a selfie recording, went into settings and managed my saved passwords and stuff.

I still see that in history, their device is still on my history log. Was wondering if the hacker is still possible using my account? Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Recently updated chrome on iOS and I’ve noticed that the bookmarks button which i use to save shows and books to go back to later disappeared anyone else noticed this and have any workarounds?
