Is anyone else having issues with the "New Tab Page" and "Speed Dial 2"? For some reason, every time when I click on an empty space or outside of Chrome, a Google search page appears. Whenever I type in the search box, the "New Tab Page" or "Speed Dial 2" (depends on if I have SD 2 enabled) re-appear again.

Similar to this Google page?

seems Google are more serious about 64bit windows builds than Mozilla are with there lack of " serious 64 bit builds . what i mean by " Serious " atleast Google will atleast officially support the browser unlike Mozilla

i dont think there will be a 64bit windows build anytime soon made :(

Yeah, but it was all messed up in the Dev-build. It would appear whenever you'd click anywhere, either inside or outside of Chrome. It's odd that it happens even tough "Enable Instant extended API" is disabled :s

The new menu look from Zlip792's post above is in this build. Not sure if like.

wth? stick with native menus google!

It been several chromium snapshots and it is still showing and sticking with this menu style, so I think they ditched that old menus and I disabled many about:flags as well.

You can enable it. It's to do with touch sensitive interfaces flags.

If you override it it disables the funky menus.

Worry not ViperAFK.

Which flags enabled it, it is making my head fuzzy. Do tell me.

There is no way to disable the new-style menus as far as I can see.

For some reason my account was corrupted after a PC reboot yesterday. And now I can't seem to be able to log into my Google Chrome account. It shows me the account page and I login though it doesn't load the next page that's supposed to come up :s

Alright, fix it through the most obvious way: My account was still "signed in" but it asked for my password. I selected the option to sign in with a complete new account and re-entered my email and the corresponding password. Now it's logged in and all synced up again.

Edit: A question though. Has anyone had the Omnibox being part of a Google search page? Whenever I was searching on Google yesterday the Omnibox was part of the search page and the black bar of Google was gone (I hope I'm explaining this right). The Omnibox dropdown also looked a bit different and the "New Tab" page had a search field in it as well.

New menu look (might be some about:flags stuff (since I turned on many yesterday and feeling tired to find which one enabled it or might be work in progress):

This just landed in beta when I updated this morning. Still getting memory leaks and malformed pages after Chrome has been open all day. Seems there isn't a browser that can be open 24/7 and handle memory properly :/

Edit: by malformed pages, I mean just below the fold (visible area of the browser window) if I start scrolling before the web page has fully loaded, bits of the page will be "missing" showing only background. Text selecting the affected area makes that bit readable again. Fix is to close Chrome and then open it again, restoring tab sessions.

Maybe it's a known bug? I've had it for ages anyway. Bloody annoying!

In my experience Chrome is the worst of them all in this regard. Internet Explorer is by far and far the best browser in terms of memory management (for me), Firefox second and Chrome last. I haven't ran Opera or any other browsers in a while so couldn't say about them.

Yet Chrome is the browser I use... :/

Same mate, the lack of some of the add-ons I use for IE holds me back from switching :/

They should stick to native menus. I don't like inconsistency.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
