###### 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.

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/

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 :)

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:

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
