Chrome 81 NotAllowedError when accessing microphone - google-chrome

Chrome Version 81.0.4044.138 (Current release) fails when trying to access to microphone using navigator.mediadevices.getUserMedia(). Default pop up to allow microphone is never shown on screen. Someone with the same issue? Thanks

Look at chrome://settings/content/microphone and chrome://settings/content/camera . You may have denied access already, in which case Chrom(ium) won't prompt again. You can also click on the https lock in the Location bar.
Also, you MUST serve pages using gUM from https servers. Because cybercreeps. If your pages / javascript can be static, both github and gitlab offer ways to serve them without having to muck around with certificates and servers.

Chrome request not making it to server

I have a Windows 2016 Server with IIS 10.0.14393.0 installed that is maintained within an isolated VM environment. (The entire VM environment is isolated from the real-world.)
The web server is configured with three websites through IIS, and each website is assigned a dedicated IP. The contents in each of these websites is a single "hello world" html page that can be accessed via a browser from from my development workstation using Microsoft Edge, but I cannot access these pages using Chrome. The simple hello world html page was created only to assist in troubleshooting this issue.
The error received in Chrome is ERR_TIMED_OUT and based on the IIS logs, the request is never reaching the web server. IIS logs do indicate the request/reponse when accessing using Edge.
From my workstation, I can successfully ping the web server, traceroute output does not indicate any unexpected hops, etc. From all indications, the problem appears to be isolated to Chrome and only when accessing the sites on that server. I have other servers (W2016 and W2019) in the real-world with a similar configurations and real applications deployed there that work as expected with any browser.
I am using the latest Chrome Version 105.0.5195.102 (Official Build) (64-bit) and can access other web based content within this VM environment using Chrome, just not on that one server.
I am almost to the point of deleting that VM instance and starting over so any ideas/suggestions are appreciated.
The error received in Chrome is ERR_TIMED_OUT
This is a communication problem indication that there is a problem with the user's local network connection. It can appear when your internet is too slow or your connection is taking too long, or the page or website you are visiting may be too busy, or when the website in question is not set up correctly, or even if the website is trying to perform more than your server can manage.
I'm not sure if you've seen the following methods, but you can try.
Method 1: Browse in Incognito Mode and Remove Extensions.
You should first browse the website in incognito mode to check if you
can open the website normally, if so then the culprit of the
ERR_TIMED_OUT error may be your plugin or extension. Therefore, you
need to enable extensions one by one to check for errors, and if there
is an error enabling an extension, you need to remove it from your
browser.
Method 2: Delete the Default Chrome Folder
Press Win + R keys at the same time to open the Run
Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\ in the box and click OK.
Close your Chrome if it is opened.
A new window pops out, find the folder named Default. Backup the folder anywhere else, then right-click the folder to choose Delete.
After you have deleted the folder successfully, open your Chrome and
then visit the webpage again that you searched before to check if the
error still appears.
Method 3: Update Network Drivers
If your network driver is out of date, you may encounter ERR_TIMED_OUT
errors. Here's how to update network drivers.
Right-click the Start button to select Device Manager.
Scroll down to find Network Adapters and click on it to expand it.
Right-click on your network device and select Update Driver.
Select Search automatically for updated driver software option to start to search and update your network driver to a new version.
After that, restart your computer and open the sites again with Chrome
to see if you can open them.
Method 4: Disable Firewall & Antivirus Software
Sometimes, your firewall or antivirus software may cause trouble.
Therefore, you should try to disable them and check if the problem can
be solved. If you find it helpful to disable these programs, you can
check the firewall settings. Allow Chrome to connect to public or
private networks. If it doesn't work. Permanently delete these
programs, and then use other antivirus software or firewalls.
Method 5: Check Hosts File
When you meet the ERR_TIMED_OUT error accessing a specific website,
you can check the Hosts file to see if the website has been blocked.
Here is the way to do that:
Press Win + E keys at the same time to open File Explorer and then go to the Local Disk C: > Windows > System32 > Drivers > etc.
Open the host file with notepad. If you see the web address that you cannot visit, delete that entire line from the host file and save.
After that, open the Chrome and see if you can open the specific
website.
Method 6: Reinstall Chrome Browser
If none of the methods above fix the ERR_TIMED_OUT error, then you
should try reinstalling Chrome. Here is the tutorial:
Press Win + R keys at the same time to open the Run box, then type appwiz.cpl and click OK to open a new window.
Find Google Chrome in the list, and then right-click it to choose Uninstall.
After uninstalling Google Chrome successfully, you also need to delete its leftover files. Open the Run box again, then type %appdata%
and click OK to open a new window.
Find the Google folder and then right-click it to choose Delete.
Go to Google Chrome’s site to download the latest version of the browser, and then install it.
The above methods are from the web article. To avoid link being unavailable, I have also presented the details. I am not sure if the above methods can help you, but I hope you can solve the problem soon.

Cookies are erased when opening dev tools on localhost

Anytime I have dev tools open on localhost my cookies are deleted and I am redirected to the login page on every page load which means I cannot use dev tools to debug or get insight into my site. I have localhost setup with a valid SSL cert (self-signed) and the site works normally until I open dev tools. How do I fix or disable this new "security" or setting in chrome?
After lots of issues and trying out many different things I came across this post/answer
When adding a Javascript library, Chrome complains about a missing source map, why?
Turns out that when I opened Dev Tools it would request a CSS map and the request was being sent to a different firewall causing my application to require me to re-authenticate every time this resource was requested. Turning off the CSS source map option fixed the issue

How to avoid the "Your connection is not private" screen when developing an HTTP2 site locally?

When I'm developing using Node's http2 library (which only supports HTTPS, not HTTP), when I open localhost in Chrome, I get a warning screen:
Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from localhost (for example, passwords, messages or credit cards). Learn more
NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
You have to click "Advanced" then "Proceed to localhost (unsafe)". It gets annoying having to do this during development.
I generated a cert and key for localhost use according to the instructions for Node's http2 module. Is there any way to generate them in such a way that Chrome would actually accept them for localhost? Or is there another easy way to get rid of this warning?
(I'm aware of the option of launching Chrome with --ignore-certificate-errors but I'd prefer not to do this for all websites.)
Try the following:
In Chrome, put in chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost in the address bar.
Enable the option that says "Allow invalid certificates for resources loaded from localhost".
Restart Chrome, and it should allow the site.
You can also type thisisunsafe once you put focus on the website
There are two options you can use to get rid of this annoying thing, which are:
Temporarily Disable SSL Warning
You can go to Google Chrome, input chrome://flags in the address bar and press the Enter key to access advanced settings.
In the next step, find the "Allow invalid certificates for resources loaded from localhost" option and enable it. This method is the same as using --ignore-certificate-errors attribute on your Google Chrome shortcut. It disables the SSL warning for all sites.
It's just a temporary solution and I wouldn't suggest to use this frequently.
(I'm aware of the option of launching Chrome with
--ignore-certificate-errors but I'd prefer not to do this for all websites.)
Install SSL On Your Localhost with OpenSSL
You can install SSL on your localhost with OpenSSL. By using this method, your localhost can run HTTPS without any issue at all. The tutorial is quite long with detailed instructions, you can read it at here.

I tried too many techniques but nothing works at last i find it while i was learning Webapi.
i was unable to visit to any side beacuse of showing the Error "Your Connection is not Private"......
THE REASON IS You have to enable SSL on your Browser and how you can do it let me share the link..

Chrome & Firefox keep asking for authentication when going to localhost

I'm having a problem where Chrome & Firefox have both started bringing up a popup window saying authentication required when going to localhost (401 page).
If I am on the network I can put in my usual network username/password and it works fine, but if I'm offline (the very reason I'm using localhost) that authentication fails and I get sent to a 403 page.
This does not happen in IE and was not happening a few days ago, my network settings are set to ignore Proxy on localhost and auto detect settings is switched off.
Any ideas?
Problem is the permission of your site directory. If you put the folder under your home (~), then this problem will probably occurs. Try to give your home folder a wider permission. Especially read permission for Others.
sure, if you browse the localhost pure directory you need apache / server authentication
Check your server authentication credentials (user and pass) and this is normal!
while if you browse localhost/mysite you will need not an auth ;)
also be sure your localhost/myproject folder has 755 chmod permissions
finally check if in your localhost/myapp/ there is a .htpasswd file and post it here
I also encountered a similar problem and reinstalling chrome to older version, changing proxy setting didn't help.
I have started using other browsers, however i use the below workaround in case I need to work in chrome.
1.) Click on login without inserting any username and password .
2.) Click on (X) to close the window.
The window would disappear. However, it will reappear if you open any other site or window.

Unable to fetch iOS webapp files on manifest update. 401 unauthorized

I have a HTML5 webapp which is running perfectly when served via the IIS without authentication.
Is is using a cache.manifest file.
Both when running in safari, and as an "add to homescreen" fullscreen app, once I update the manifest file on the server, and the app will update.
When I turn on authentication on all files except the cache.manifest, then I only see the update when running it in the safari browser.
If I add it to the homescreen, I am not able to make the app update the cache.
If I wireshark the traffic on the server, I can see the manifest file is fetched without problems, but all the files in the manifest file hits a 401 Unautorized error.
Any idea how I can fix this? Running it in the safari browser is working..
Any help is highly appreciated.
Safari is much more aware of HTTP Basic Auth, but web.app (the home screen web app handler, which is basically a UIWebView wrapper) isn't as full-featured and doesn't appear to support basic auth.
It seems you may need to work around this with either a server-side solution to append an authentication key to the filename (such as application.css?longhexkey) to bypass basic auth, or go with a more traditional login form (which may require significant changes to your app)
