###### me, Chrome doesn't support scoped CSS. :(

Up until Chrome 36, you could enable it in chrome://flags by enabling experimental Web Platform features. However it was removed due to high code complexity: https://www.chromestatus.com/features/5374137958662144

 

Looks like Firefox is the only browser that supports it.

That took me some time to figure out and very suprising. To think something so trivial not being supported.

Finally the epic thing gonna happen and will be really glad on this - https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!msg/blink-dev/qSC0Mrh_GnA/vwq_gDnz66gJ

 

No more weird text selection (only in Visual) and finally similar to Firefox and IE.

 

For reference:

Google is experimenting with Material Design language in Chrome as well.

 

- In New Tab Page tiles

- In PDF Reader

- Throbber for tabs loading

- Progress bar in Downloads

- Button on about:flags

 

and now in Settings:

 

Turn on this flag:

chrome://flags/#enable-md-settings

and visit this - chrome://md-settings/

Little subtle adjustments on New Tab Page tile styling:
 
More depth in shadows and edges to make feel like embedded:

video downloadhelper beta is now available for chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-downloadhelper/lmjnegcaeklhafolokijcfjliaokphfk/related

 

You can download videos from a huge number of websites but not youtube due to chrome's webstore policies. Just tested it, works nicely :)

Regarding the new required Chromium permission as of 0.9.8.2: About the required permissions: change your privacy related settings. My answer to someone pointing out at all the slew of negative reviews in the Chrome store:j

Try a clean install of the extension? That might help.

i did something better,i removed it an went back to just plain ublock, but reading this https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock i dont think a fresh reinstall would have made any difference

I had no problems with the new version, I opened chrome ublock origin disabled itself and prompted to be re-enabled for access to the new permissions, I re-enabled it and then restarted chrome and its been working fine on subsequent launches of chrome.

So is there no way to get rid of the ugly user switcher menu up by the close/min/max buttons now?

 

If so that's annoying. I'm the only one who uses my computer I don't need it nor want it.

 

Edit: I found this, and it seems to work but my guess is this will probably be temporary:

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
