make clicking chrome notification bring chrome window to front? - google-chrome

Nothing seems to work. I guess it's designed this way to stop popups. But i really want to bring the chrome browser window ( say for instance behind firefox or word) to the front when the notification is clicked.
window.focus()
parent.focus()
do not work. I cant seem to find any way to actually move the chrome window to the front. Any suggestions?
Even if there was some way to make it request users permission once to do this, then do it automatically after that. I would be fine about it.

Google image bug, transparent after clicking on an image

I can't find anybody facing the same problem as mine.
Every time I click an image on google image, suddenly the whole page disappear, but I'm still able to click things just like everything is still there.
I already turn off all extension, use incognito mode, after finally I try to use inspect element, and found attribute stating "Opacity: 0" on the body. And after unchecking the box (Quick disable attribute in inspect element chrome) everything shows up again.
I'm so confused on why this is happening.
Does anyone have ever facing the same problem?
Or how do I fix it?
It's so frustrating, because I have to refresh the page, every time I click on an image, or switch between images
so I was having this one. in the end, it was a virus.
In my case, it was showing an AD screen on the main google page, and in the sources>gstatic.com it had a different source which also was in a [unknown] source.
dug a bit up and discover some adware was using gstatic as a proxy to show ads on all browsers.
I solved it by running malwarebytes, it found it pretty quickly and solved it for me.
Posting this here because I'm hoping it helps people who search for this issue in the future.

Html input of type "file" freeze the browser sometimes

i'm struggling with the classic HTML input of type file. I was using it on my angular application and i had freeze sometimes, the whole browser became unresponsive, and the only thing that works is the scroll.
You can't click any buttons, select any text or even change tab on the browser for about 5 seconds. I tried a lot of different file type and sizes and it doesn't change any of this, it even freeze sometimes when i don't select any file in the explorer and i click the close button directly.
So I thought it was my implementation that was bad and i went to the Mozilla developper website where you have an example and I have exactly the same behaviour. I also tried to take only the HTML from the Mozilla website and put it alone on a .html file and again, same behaviour.
This does not occur 100% of the time, but I would argue that on my end it does it about 60/70 % of the times.
I tried it on chrome and Firefox (both up to date), on multiple computer (all running Windows though) and i have the same behaviour on all of them.
I don't have any error or anyting in the consoles.
I don't know what to do with this, i'm pretty sure it can't be the file's input on the whole web that are bugged, but i tried a lot of various things with always the same results. Should i report it somewhere? ( if so, where? ) Or what would you suggest to do to investigate this further?
I couldn't find anyone discussing this issue on the internet apart for this thread that had no solution, they also say in this thread that the bug is not reproducible in Edge, but i just tried and it does the same thing.
Thanks for reading me and for any help about this.
Chrome freezes for few seconds when after any use of file field.
It was because I had a shortcut in "Quick Access" menu in windows explorer. This shortcut has been linked with a folder shared by network. I've removed this shortcut and everything is good now.
Same here, I have a mapped network drive that is not responding, this make a 5 seconds delay. After unmapping the drive, no more delay. The delay is the same in firefox or chrome.
Same here, if you want to remove it, on Windows 10, click on the icon Quick access (blue star), then right click on the dead link appearing in the "Frequent folders" panel on the right panel and choose "Unpin/Remove from Quick access". There should be no error message.

Instagram in app browser is shifting all click events

On the iPhone's Instagram app browser(in app) if you open a website that includes html inputs of any type, something strange happens.
In the beginning everything is working, but once you tap an input and type something ( and the keyboard is opened), after you close the keyboard you can't click on anything anymore because all buttons/inputs/elements are clickable in a different location than where they showed ( button is showed in the original 100px location but click events are now on 50px).
It looks like after the keyboard opens the whole location calculation is shifted up(because the keyboard pushes the whole body up)
How to even begin to debug such thing ?
Honestly, I've been there. There is no way to debug the in-app browser (you can try on an iphone device mirroring with Chrome in MAC, but you will eventually fail), but I've tried without success.
It turned out that after digging around with similar issues, there was a caching issue and some disabled features with WP ENGINE from my client. They were able to fix it by allowing some parameters on nginx settings and then the In App browser wasn't stucked anymore.
I know every issue is different, but at this time, I haven't found a way to debug the In - App browser.
I can't speak to iOS specifically, but there definitely are ways to remote debug things.
My go-to for stuff like this (speaking from experience of browsers on gaming consoles) is Weinre: https://people.apache.org/~pmuellr/weinre/docs/latest/Home.html You get something similar to Chrome Developer Tools, but it works over a Socket.IO connection.
Another tool I like to use is Fiddler. While it won't help you with your DOM issues, if you ever need to debug network stuff on oddball devices, it's perfect. It serves as a proxy server and can intercept all your connections, including HTTPS. https://www.telerik.com/fiddler
Turns out, that it's a fixed position and it's not supported, which means when keyboard is closed, the system will push back the whole view but click events stay up (because it's being pushed up when you open a keyboard).
So instead of make it an absolute modal, which has it's own problem, we keep it fixed, BUT, we do the pushing up/down by our own.
We could just push the screen back down on input unfocused, but if user click the next field you get unwanted behavior, so we create a delay based machine like so :
var isfocused=0;
var focusTimer=0;
$("input").blur(function() {
isfocused=0;
focusTimer = setTimeout(focusDone, 150);
});
$("input").focus(function(){
isfocused=1;
});
function focusDone(){
if(isfocused===0)
$(window).scrollTop(0,0);
clearTimeout(focusTimer);
}
This works great on social browsers, with fixed positioned modals that has inputs inside them.

Safari extension full control over tabs

I have made a chrome extension that I should convert to safari and firefox. That's fine, but I want to have full control over tabs. In my chrome extension I have full control over the tab even if user changes location (index) or drag the tab to a new window. With Safari's API, I'm not sure if I can achieve the same control. I could not find any events that can give me information about these events. I will probably be able to achieve the same control with various tricks, but would rather avoid it if possible. Hope there is someone who has had the same challenge and solved it in an elegant way. thank you in advance.

Disable back space key for browser based AS3 application

this is insanely annoying problem:
AS3 full screen application based on ADOBE FLEX 4, text field. User types something in text field, and then starts clicking backspace many many times to remove what he just wrote, and for some reason, instead of removing characters from text field it tells browser to GO BACK and user navigates away. Why?! Please, please help, this is so terrible. My users are losing important unsaved this is data while using my application!
i am using safari browser
PLEASE HELP.
Wow, this is terrible, I am so irritated, it happens every single time
It is possible that the focus is lost from your text field when hitting the backspace multiple times (check if you are firing some events on the text field that may cause this), which causes the main window to take focus and trigger 'Back' on the browser.
The root of the problem is that the browser carries out keyboard shortcuts REGARDLESS of the flash app having the focus or not. From what I heard this problem does not exist on Safari's for Mac, only Safari for Windows.
I would check to see what browser you are in and then create a popup saying you this app does NOT work on Safari browser ON windows.
Scratching head*
Well maybe if HAD to solve this, I would use the ExternalInterface to interact with Safari or javascript to PREVENT the history back button from getting applied. So it won't go back to an old page. That is what I would look into.
