updates Meet the browser: Chrome Next

[Boo Berry]

###### 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.

Smooth Scrolling is back on Windows with the latest Dev build. Also it seems no longer possible to hide the user switcher dropdown in the title bar.

 

 

Edit: This versions seems to have a few more broken flags, so this might just be a general problem.

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/

- Button on about:flags

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.

Google ditched their Visual Bookmark with Chrome, so now its back to classic.

 

New look of Developer Tools..

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:

I disagree with their decision to this without opt-in, but it's just for "Ok, Google" at least.

Was a bug anyway. And it *is* opt-in if it works as intended, should only download it if Hotword detection is enabled, and that is off by default.

Nice scrolling improvement - stop sending mouse position updates while scrolling
