Grammarly browser plugin not working on web-based Jupyter notebook files - google-chrome

The Grammarly browser plugin provides useful editorial hints when editing a text area on the webpage; for example, I am getting help while typing this question here.
However, when accessing a notebook file hosted on the Jupyter Lab server on the localhost, the Grammarly browser plugin does not engage. While access any other website with the same browser is OK.
I have tested with Chrome and Firefox, and the result is the same.
I followed the Firefox troubleshooting steps on Grammarly's official website, but all checking results came back as OK, which means Grammarly was not disabled.
So, I wonder whether I am missing something about Grammarly usage in this scenario. I appreciate any hints or suggestions.

Dev Tools Crashing on Chrome Version 50.0.2661.102 m

So i have the following problem.
Any time i click on a request to view the headers/payload/response
i receive a not responding window.
If i wait ~2 minutes it works.
So what i receive here is a developer tools not responsive status when working on local machine.
I tried to re-install chrome. Nothing changed.
Current Version is: Version 50.0.2661.102 m listed as up to date.
Is there any possibility to get some logs or did anyone faced the same problem?
I think it can be relevant if i show what extensions i have installed.
But i tried to enable/disable them and nothing changed.
And i get the same comportment in incognito mode too.
Later edit: I somehow identified the problem. Idea is that chrome is trying to display the cookie (request headers) which was 18k characters long and it looks like this is slowing a lot developer tools and sometimes make him crash.
I just saw that in Mozilla cookies are limited to a couple of characters (display perspective) and after that they show ...
I can't find any known issues regarding this crash, so here are a couple of steps you could take:
Use the Chrome Cleanup Tool and see if that helps.
Fully clean and re-install Chrome (including deleting user folders). If it works after that, you can slowly add extensions and plugins back and see if any reintroduce the problem.

Slightsearch hijacking google chrome reset not working

I recently got malware installed on my PC that contained software that infected my google chrome, by hijacking my default search engine. I tried:
Removing newly installed programs from PC, using windows utility.
Using Microsoft essentials and hitman pro to fully scan my computer (removed 3 malware of which one was a program and the other adware)
Removing the newly created extension in google chrome.
I tried to change my search engine back to default but I states that the administrator of the program has rights to change the search engine. I then:
Reset my chrome, and restarted my PC. Didn't work.
Then went to registry and deleted all traces of slightsearch and any keys relating to default search engine of chrome.
Restarted PC and nothing has changed at all. My home page is working as normal and I can search google when searching using the URL bar then it redirects to slightsearch.
Lastly, this malware even stared showing me ads on my desktop, when not in Chrome. Scanning and removing the malicious files solved this issue, but the search engine issue still exists.
Please help me solve this issue. And with all due respect, please do not give me the usual tips for removing popups or adware, because as already stated I have done all of these steps. Will appreciate any new solutions.
Regards
Ok so I eventually fixed the problem.
I had to delete files under c:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicyUsers
Checked all the files contained in GroupPolicyUsers and then deleted those that related to chrome and that was messing with my Registry.
Restarted chrome and now all is fixed!

IPython Notebook crashing Chrome tabs

I'm doing some work in an IPython Notebook session, and I now have a large-ish notebook containing code, some plots, and some embedded videos (of plot stacks; it seemed like the easiest way to be able to scroll through a sequence of plots interactively in the Notebook view). I'm working in Chrome (Mac, 32.0.1700.102) since H.264 encoding worked best (Vp8 compressed out shading detail in the plots that I needed), and Safari and Firefox don't render the videos.
Recently, this notebook has started crashing Chrome tabs every couple minutes (showing the 'Aw Snap' page). It's become basically unusable. I can work, saving very frequently, but saving the notebook causes the Chrome tab to crash about half the time (which makes me wonder if the random crashes that occur when I'm working are caused by the autosaves, but I don't know).
Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone know how to fix it? Is there some more information I can provide to diagnose the problem? Thanks for any help.
I had the same problem in 32-bit Chrome on my Windows 8.1 Enterprise PC. Chrome often crashed while running a large jupyter notebook (~100 MB on disk). It got a bit better after upgrading my chrome to the 64 bit version. However, jupyter still complained about the size of the notebooks, crashed once in a while, and my notebooks could not be saved. This issue was discussed here:
https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/650
The quick fix proposed here was to increase the value for self.max_buffer_size in env/Lib/site-packages/tornado/iostream.py (line 154, in case of version 4.4.2 of tornado). I changed the value x10, and now a notebook larger than 130 MB runs without any problem.
I was experiencing the same issue. Actually I found this is related to chrome extensions installed.
Try disabling all the extensions and re-enabling them one by one. You'll find which is crashing your tab. In my case, crashes were due to the Evernote extension.
Alternatively, you can open up an incognito window, which has all the extensions disabled by default, and try opening your notebook there.

Allow multiple instances of Google Chrome?

Disclaimer: This may be a better question on SuperUser, but my use
case matches SO.
I'm trying to develop an Angular app on my local computer; I'm not yet ready to set up a webserver or anything like that. I'm loading some JSON configuration files from the same directory, and I'm running into Origin Policy issues (which was expected).
I know that programs like gChat can run multiple instances with the /mutex flag (I think that's it, it's been a while since I tried that). Is there any such provision for Google Chrome? Basically, I'd like to run Chrome as my main browser for everything I do, and then open a separate instance with lowered web security for testing purposes.
Thanks!
You can bring up a development web server, serving data from the current working directory, using:
python -mSimpleHTTPServer
This doesn't directly answer your question, I know. But hopefully it's even better than a direct answer. :)
I found a solution to this - although Chrome won't let you run multiple instances, you can run Chrome and Chrome Canary side-by-side simultaneously. So now, Chrome is my main browser, and Chrome Canary (with the --disable-web-security) flag is my testing environment. So far, I haven't had any issues with discrepancies between the browsers.

What's the syntax to run an executable from an html page in a browser?

Of course the page will be on my pc not from a remote server. I just want to create a launch page for my most used software. I find windows program start menu too much a hassle and cannot find any freeware that does really a good job.
Don't tell it's not possible because I had already done this in the past with javascript referencing a file:/// but I don't remember what's the exact syntax.
Will it work in Google Chrome ?
If you use file:///, then the browser will download the file. Even IE's option of "running" the file is really just downloading it to a temp directory first, then running it. So no browser truly just runs an exe, as browsers weren't designed with that in mind.
You could run a local web server with a little bit of code that does "when user clicks this link, run this program". It would be the web server running the program, not the browser, but it'd have the same effect.
