How to deactivate Chrome`s lookalike warnings - google-chrome

Chrome constantly gets on my nerves, when visiting a site, where Chrome's heuristic thinks it might be a lookalike version of something other, it found in my history (if I understand the principle correctly), e.g. www.nameofcity-supermarket.example gets a warning if Chrome sees me visiting www.nameofcity.example some times before, and such.
How do I get rid of these warnings?

Chrome devtools, remember expanded element and selection on refresh

It is very difficult to program when you are trying to inspect an element, say:
Then you refresh the page, and chrome throws you back to:
Forcing you to open the path all over again.
Not very nice or productive use of my energy.
Now, I have mentioned this in the past and even filed a bug report and I remember it being taken care of at one point, but it seems to be back now. I can not find the old info to link to.
All chrome has to do is reselect the previous selected element after a delay ( which I assume must be defined statically in order to guarantee that at that time the element do exist again).
Ideally, chrome dev tools would allow us to programmatically allow us to select any NODE to do this selection programmatically, but i don't think we will get there.
This is very frustrating to deal with.
Any tips? Is this possible in other browsers? Firefox, firebug, safari?

Chrome extension taken down under "single purpose Chrome extensions policy"

I have made a chrome extension with the name Newsprompt : Personal Breaking News(gcajgpbafhkbkdpbaaipjoiajnangjhp) is recently being taken down stating that it breaks "single purpose Chrome extensions policy". It shows the breaking news in new tab and keep learning about user preference to push the articles(not news) user is interested in. No adds, no hidden functionality. That is all the extension does. Since it has been taken down, I have constantly been following up with
chromewebstore-dev-support#google.com and removed a lot of features (personalization being one of them) but all they come back with exactly same copy pasted lines from the docs https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/single_purpose that it doesn't comply with their standards. It feels like talking to a bot whose only response is "it doesn't comply with standards". So my question being:
1. Has any developers faced the same issue? (I have seen a couple of developers complaining on google groups but no one getting a solution). If yes how did they solved/escalated the problem (It felt like wasting 6 months of my team's effort for nothing).
2. I have tried https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/contact/developer_support but no response.
3. Any further leads will be appreciated.

How can I block myself from time-wasting sites, particularly with Google Incognito?

I have a bad habit when I'm waiting for code to compile or a database query to run, I may pop over to a news site for a minute.
I have a Chrome extension that blocks certain time-wasters, but now I'll just go to incognito mode and that's a 2-second way to get around it.
Is there another option to make it more difficult for myself to go to certain websites?
I know nothing is fool proof, obviously, I just need a slightly more annoying barrier. My apologies if this question is off-topic; I consider it a technical question.
You can enable the extensions which block these websites in incognito mode.
Simply go to Settings > More tools > Extensions and check the Allow in incognito boxes.

Chrome console keeps getting stuck in a quirky state

The console gets stuck in a state where every two page refreshes a new closed instance of my indexedDB is displayed. They are all closed except for the one on the top and everything within the application still seems to function normally, however other strange things occur when using the console.
When I click on a table within the database it shows the data, but when I try to filter or go to the next page it all disappears. I have to completely close the browser tab and then reload.
Sometimes when I enter in console commands they don't do anything, don't return anything (not even undefined), but when I refresh the page it alternative between working and not working.
Let me know if you need some more information. I haven't a clue what's causing this. I'm using the latest version of Chrome 35. Any thoughts?
Saw this once. Try a fresh install, and if that does not work, try upgrading to dev channel 37. I did both those things (for other reasons), but have not been able to reproduce the bug since. Trudging through Chromium's list of open issues or changes might also help.
Also, it looks like your question is not really about programming so it might be closed. There are other 'something.overflow' sites to post this type question.
Edit: also, regarding the disappearing issue, I actually reported this bug on Chromium. It was recently fixed!

Major Bug in Today's Chrome Update - 1000's of Web pages Display Improperly

Starting this afternoon, with the introduction of Chrome 31.0.1650.48, many web pages are displaying with random formatting errors. I've confirmed this on both Mac and Windows machines running the most recent auto-updated Chrome release (31.0.1650.48).
This problem is affecting thousands of pages, and to immediately rule out our server generating different information, you can try this to reproduce the problem:
Visit this Google cache page with Chrome version specified above: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:nt70v_rn5BwJ:alaskanmalamute.rescueme.org/Idaho+&cd=61&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
Notice what dogs are displayed and where they are.
Reload the page several times and observer closely.
You will randomly see one dog listing in the middle of the page, then two dog listings, the dogs move around, the menus around the dogs move around. Each time the page is reloaded Google is corrupting the source code in different ways, resulting in major formatting issues. (NONE of this code is generated outside of Google's cache.) All the pages on the www.RescueMe.Org have this problem, I'm using a cached page on Google's server in this article for an example since it proves it is not a server issue.
This sample page should remain the same every time, and be formatted correctly. It isn't.
Google Chrome (when viewing source) seems to be making random changes to the page (Chrome is dropping < or > at random places in source code) causing major display formatting issues.
Can someone reproduce this? Hopefully the folks at Google know about this issue, or someone here can escalate it with them?
Best wishes,
Jeff
can confirm - it seems to mostly be an issue with iFrames.
VisualForce iFrames in Salesforce break the entire layout.
Version 31.0.1650.48 on Mac, all addons removed.
In case someone else runs into this issue, I've narrowed it down somewhat. Chrome/31.0.1650.48 will randomly scramble the placement of tables on a page if the following two things happen:
1) You start the page like this: and do the reverse at the end: (doesn't have to be face=arial, any font setting or even just does the same thing).
2) Include some tags within the page containing various tables.
3) Magic! (not good magic, though) Each time your tables will randomly move about the page. Here's an example to try: http://server1c.rescueme.org/testb (Reload this page several times in in Chrome/31.0.1650.48 on Windows or Mac to see the tables jump around.)
THE SOLUTION: Start the page like this instead: and do the reverse at the end: (in other words, reverse placement of the center and font tags). Here's the "fixed" version of the page above with just those tags reversed: http://server1c.rescueme.org/testbfixed
While this is a Chrome bug, I feel this is worth keeping in Stack Overflow because this bug is breaking a lot of major sites, and programmers may want to know how to reprogram their HTML so those who have affected versions of Chrome won't have a confusing experience.
FYI... There are other ways to cause and solve this problem, but I'm trying to present here just the simplest method I found.
