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.

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...

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

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
