No issues here. As a last resort you might want to go to %LOCALAPPDATA%/Google/Chrome and backup the User Data folder (export bookmarks within the browser itself, and move User Data to the desktop) while Chrome is completely closed. Then reopen Chrome with a new profile and see if the setting is enabled or not.

How did you get rid of the black bar that is appearing for me?

Umm… dunno? Your title bar is transparent which means you're using "Material Hybrid" as opposed to just "Material"… right? That's what I'm on.

Which black line? The line under the address bar? You can't.

But if you look at my screenshot you can see that I don't have it.

 

And if I get it I will… probably do nothing except get very annoyed.

But are you on beta or Canary/dev? there might be  difference :s

Just Material but I did try Material Hybrid.

 

Are you on a retina mac? It's not as noticeable on my retina machine at home but it's still there.

I am, yes. Strange, I don't have any black lines at all. I remember seeing others complaining about it, but completely forgot since.

Google Chrome Adds Anti-Tampering System to Fend Off Quantum Computing Attacks company is now including a project called New Hope into Chrome

 

New Hope is a re-implementation of the Ring-LWE encrypted key-exchange protocol used with OpenSSL, specifically hardened to fend off quantum computing attacks. New Hope is included with Google Chrome version 54.0.2791.1, a.k.a. Canary SyzyASan.

"We explicitly do not wish to make our selected post-quantum algorithm a de-facto standard," writes Matt Braithwaite, Google Chrome Software Engineer. "To this end we plan to discontinue this experiment within two years, hopefully by replacing it with something better."

Until then, users can recognize if a website is using a quantum-computing hardened version of TLS by going to the Google Chrome Security Panel inside Developer Tools [press F12] and looking for the CECPQ1 label in the Key Exchange field, as pictured below.

CECPQ1 label for HTTPS connections

Curious to hear if any of you are aware of Google implementing a Reader View-mode anytime soon? Firefox and Safari each have their own. I like both implementations of those browsers but the Chromium browsers does not feature any built-in Reader View-mode?! I don't think that using the Readability extension is all that great but it's what I must use.

Updated to "54.0.2840.59 m" and the tabs in the tab row suddenly got relatively massive. What is the reason and any way to change them back to being "slim"?

Oh gawd, they aren't going the route Firefox did with it's cartoonish tabs are they?

Well with Material design the tab height is around the same as the toolbar below it for me (which is a little bigger than pre Material design) it's not too distracting.

You haven't updated to the same version as I have though, have you? When I updated, as if by cruel magic, everything in the tab/address/bookmark bar was suddenly padded with lots of empty space at the top and bottom and the tab icons grew by a lot.

Nah, I am on 54, but in the beta channel. I can't go higher because it always causes problems with the CKEditor that we use in our CMS.

Whoa, something else going wrong there? I am on the exact same version :s

I use Slimjet 64 Bit as a secondary Browser, it is built off of the Chromium base. It runs well and has never crashed. Something I cannot say about Firefox. But Fx 50 is better. I tried Chrome once and did not care for it although it was very fast.

Indeed, though @Zlip792 posted a screenshot with lots of space a couple of months ago. Still, do not understand why the tabs now appear to be very "tall". It's as if they are trying to make things easier for touch-screen users...

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

      By +samw61 · Posted

      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.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
