Chrome latest v68 zoom page using ctrl + scroll - google-chrome

Today I update the Google Chrome browser version to 68 and Now I couldn't zoom in or zoom out a page by using Ctrl + Mouse Scroll action, Do they have changed the page zoom In/Out shortcut keys on Chrome 68 ?
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS

According to this discussion, the issue is not getting fixed. However, there is a chrome extension mentioned there, which solves the problem. Here you can find how to install it, if you never did this.
Edit: It's now available on the chrome web store
I did not write this extension, all credits to the original author.

My chrome is running on Version 68.0.3440.75 (64-bit). I'm not facing the same. Its working properly for me. Just restart the browser and check again!

Good to see I'm not the only one.
I have 2 Fedora 28 systems: a laptop with a touchpad, and a desktop with a mouse. Both are on Chrome 68. The laptop lost the ability to zoom with CTRL + the simulated mouse wheel. The desktop can still zoom with the CTRL + the real mousewheel.
I'm going to try plugging in a mouse to the laptop and see what happens.
I submitted a report through Help -> Report Issue. I would recommend you do the same.

Google Chrome: strange image artifacts (pixelated, broken)

I recently encountered a strange behavior in my Google Chrome browser.
Images appear pixelated and broken, but they appear on screenshots and get scrolled so it must be the browser and not my laptop. For example, google search:
Search icons get something like...distorted? Has anyone encountered that and maybe knows how to fix this?
Here's a work around: go to chrome://flags and disable GPU Rasterization.
You can use this link: chrome://flags/#enable-gpu-rasterization to get there.
Thanks to https://piunikaweb.com/2022/02/24/google-chrome-images-distorted-pixelated-after-latest-update-for-some/ for the tip
Same here. Not only icons but some large images as well
Ctrl+refresh seem to solve it

Select 'Disabled' right side of 'GPU rasterization'.
Restart browser.
Turning off hardware acceleration
Go to chrome://settings/system
Move switch off 'Use hardware acceleration when available'.
Restart browser.

Google Chrome freeze on wake up touch screen, not reponse until touch outside the web or mouse move/click o keyboard key press

I have been fatal for a few days with this incident. After the latest Chrome updates I am left with a headache.
We have ASUS v161 touch screens (although it happens to us in more models), and we open the chrome in kiosk mode. The power configuration is high performance and we only turn off the screen after 15 minutes (no sleep). We have also tried disabling anything that turns off the hard drive or usb without success.
We have tried to activate all the touch flags, we have deactivated the hardware acceleration, etc ... But it is happening with the last 3 updates.
Chrome version: 88.0.4324.150 (Official Build) (64 bits)
Windows version:
Windows 10 Pro Edition
Version 20H2
Installed on 09/25/2020
Operating system version 19042.746
Windows Experience Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0
The issue is that when you return from the off screen, by touching with your finger, the screen turns on but the web content that chrome shows does not respond.
If we do not open it in kiosk mode, it does not respond until we touch anywhere in Windows or in the chrome address bar, then it begins to respond. But the web does not respond by itself if we do not touch outside of it. The web is frozen, te text cursor are freeze. (This also happens with Edge) It does not happen with Firefox.
If you hit it with the mouse, no problem, all return to be responsive
Video attachment: https://youtu.be/BH2abO6AXaM
In the video it is clear how the system activates the screen with touch, but chrome is frozen, the cursor does not move, it does not respond to any link, there is a moment where the screen goes blank, and at the end you see how it responds when I touchthe address bar. This happens right away if you hit the address bar or any other windows/desktop of Windows.
When Chome wake up all touch response are ok and the cursor blink again. If like's Chrome still sleeping until other event different than touch success.
Thanks a lot

I was having this problem too for a few months, but it went away with Chrome v91. Upgrade to the latest version of Chrome if you're still on a lower version.

Why can't I inspect elements in cypress.io

Why can't I inspect elements in cypress.io window?
I have installed cypress 3.1.0 and when I run a test I can see it open in the chrome window. I run the same code at work and in my window at work, I can right click and Inspect Element, for some reason I can't do the same thing at home. Odd indeed.
In Cypress it says I am running Running Electron 59.I totally can inspect in a normal chrome window. My chrome version is browser Version 70.0.3538.77 (Official Build) (64-bit). Am I missing something here?
* update, at work I found out I am using 3.0.2
* update, I also notice at home, I get a 2nd icon in the window bar for cypress at home, at work I get a 2nd chrome window icon in the window bar
Inspector is indeed hidden. Ctrl + Shift + D ( Cmd + Shift + D) will move its position to a visible area.
I'm having the same issue opening the inspector whether via shortcut or "click > Inspect" (Chrome 69, OSX 10.11.6, Cypress 3.1.0)
What is happening is that the dev tools are opened with a size of about 1x10 pixels on my top left corner, and I have to hide other windows in order to see the tools and be able to resize them.
Chances are that the Inspector is opened but hidden somewhere.
Hope that this helps

CRXDE Lite - Adobe Experience Manager 6.2 Chrome Version 51.0.2704.84 m

someone has a problem with CRXDE Lite panel properties in Chrome? When I open my Chrome browser this panel moves from the bottom of the screen up and at one point this panel is invisible on the screen. Any ideas?
Same happens to me. The zoom out may cause the problem in Chrome.
Try to restore your zoom in/out by clicking Ctrl + 0.

Chrome: Showing new window on top without giving it focus

I'd like to open up a new chrome window (not tab) and have it take focus in its address bar immediately.
It works when pressing CTRL+N to open the new window (presumably from the current process) but not when clicking the Icon in the quick launch bar or on the desktop (thus launching a new process).
Then it just opens up, comes to the front, cursor blinking in the adress bar, but it does not have focus there. Typing sends the input to desktop I believe since no open program seems to have the focus then. This is particularly annoying when I was working with a different program and want to have a new browser window.
My Chrome version is 23.0.1271.97 on Windows 7 x64, and as far as I remember it worked fine until version 17.
I just published a small Chrome Extension which aims at solving this bug! So far it worked great for me (on Window 7 64-bit).
You can find it here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-new-window-focus/opmhcfhkhiodgapmnaolhmekmfihmecp
Let me know if you encounter any issues!
Cheers,
