I use the extension New Tab Wallpaper for Google Chrome. I am wondering if it's possible to modify it so that it doesn't show the annoying Settings button on the bottom right corner. Or at least doesn't appear unless you move your cursor down there.

Looking at the extension in the Chrome Web Store, it doesn't look like the author linked the project to a homepage or an open source code repository such as GitHub.
That being said, if you really wanted to alter the extension, you can find the code on your computer, see this answer regarding where to find the extension on your computer for various operating systems. A Google Chrome extension is simply HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

I'm teaching a Year7 class via Zoom on writing HTML, and I have one student on an iPad (the rest are on desktops/laptops), and they're not able to get their webpage to open in Safari (I'm using Chrome on Windows, which of course is simply a matter of double-clicking on the file). I'm trying to see what she sees, but I think Zoom is possibly not showing me the pop-up dialogues. She is using Notes to write the page (which looked to be the closest iOS equivalent to Notepad).
I Googled and sent her a few blogs, but still not working. I said she needs to click on Share and look for something like "copy path to file" or "copy link", and then paste that into the Safari address bar. She said when she did that Safari was showing the source code, not the rendered page. When she just taps the file it opens in Notes, not Safari. That made me suspect her file was actually index.html.txt (she tells me she has extensions switched on), but when I sent her my own file, which is definitely only index.html, she says the same thing is happenning.
Is anyone able to give me some definite step-by-step instructions (this is for a Year 7 student) on how to open their local HTML page in Safari?
thanks,
Donald.
Safari iPad no longer supports access to local or iCloud files. A number of iPadOS apps will however allow a user to view, edit, and test html code in files stored in local iPad, iCloud, or third party (e.g. Google or Dropbox) storage folders. One needs only to search in the App Store for “html editor” to see the list. Some of the apps have features that rival or exceed those found in tools on desktop (laptop) systems.
I had the same issue today on ios15.
There is a free app called Koder available on the App Store which will let you edit and view the HTML file. I’m no expert but the editor looks pretty fully featured at first glance.
Sorry to say but an iPad is obviously not the best place for simple HTML editing. At least not with the default apps available on iOS.
Given an existing HTML File one can use Files app to navigate to it and open it with double click. This will open the file in a very simple viewer wich is at least able to render the HTML. As a developer i bet its using WKWebView which is basically Safari's HTML View.
Turns out Microsoft Edge, unlike Safari, can still open local html files. Discovered in this answer. To wit:
Install Microsoft Edge from the App Store
Open Files (or whatever file browsing app you like).
Open the file, then tap the Share button to send to another app.
Scroll across to "More...", choose Edge, and voila!
I have a very simple question I could not find answer for myself: I want links in OneNote to open in Chrome.
Note that the default browser is IE and I cannot change it (not admin etc).
Tried: "chrome_path url" - didn't work. Everything I could think about didn't work.
Please provide explicit solution so that link from within OneNote opens in Chrome rather than in IE.
To note, there are multiple links, so batch file won't do in this case.
Thank you in advance!
I had a little go with testing some ideas that I had though I'm very new to OneNote. It's easy enough to open Chrome from a hyperlink:
Select text to link
Add link
Select the file icon and navigate to chrome.exe. In my instance - C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
I believe you cannot pass arguments to the exe as it is considered a security issue. This certainly used to be the case and I'm not sure if they have modified their thinking since. The only way I can think of is to create a batch file which includes your ideal website and link to the batch file:
"start chrome http://www.youtube.com"
I found two ways to do it, though neither is the perfect:
There is a 3rd party OneNote add-on which adds more browsers in the right-click menu. Though it is not free and maybe can't be installed on restricted computers.
It works only on OneNote docs which are saved onto Onedrive. Open the OneNote page which has the links right in the Chrome, not in the desktop app. Then any links you click will open in the same browser. You can get the address of the OneNote page by clicking on 'Copy Link to Page' in OneNote app, then paste it to a notepad. Copy the first url to Chrome's address bar.
For those who has admin right, this problem can be solved by following Make Chrome your default browser. It is set at machine level, not onenote level.
I'm studying HTML/CSS and doing a single-page project using WebStorm and Chrome. Normally I test the way my page running Chrome in WebStorm which results in opening http://localhost:63342/ in my browser address line.
After I finished my project I closed WebStorm and ran it again in Chrome, but this time I open it by clicking on the shortcut on my desktop.
To my surprise, the way the page looks was different from the one that I saw when I opened Chrome through WebStorm.
The question is: Why so? It's the same HTML/CSS code, the same browser.
You can use http://brackets.io/ as an alternative. It has a similar feature called "live preview".
It seems that there is no style applied to your page. If you have your css in a separate file, my guess is that WebStorm doesn't locate your CSS file or you are not referencing it correctly in your html. Try looking at the "Sources" tab from the Chrome Developer Tools (F18) and see if it loaded the .css file.
It turned out that it had something to do with the page scale. When I press cmd and + and the page zooms in, it gets a slightly different look.
I have a screen full of code that displays for about half a second on loading some pages in chrome.
I managed to grab a screenshot of it.
I think this one is from a google search for the London tube map.
I have disabled chrome extensions and antivirus but it still appears.
Does anyone know what this is?
In this particular instance the code is generated by Bitdefender Traffic Light extension. If the antivirus is installed, the extension seems to be enabled without being displayed in Chrome's list of extensions.
Disabling the antivirus doesn't seem to disable the extension. But you can clearly see it is activated in a google search as each link has a specific icon next to it.
Other extensions might do a similar thing, but in the lower-left part of the screenshot, the code is:
fraud_link = "http://trafficlight.bitdefender.com/info?url={URL}&language=en_US";
Which makes it obvious this extention is causing the code to be displayed.
Assuming everybody uses chrome browser;
So I am creating a wordpress blog for some friends. We use a shared network, and I want to create a link on that blog that when pressed opens up a folder in internet explorer.
The current html code is
I am using a chrome extension called "open in IE" , but to use it requires a right click then choosing an option within the menu. This process is too long and I want to simplify it.
Is there any html code I can write that make it open that file:// link using the "open in IE" extension by default? The goal is to be able to left click the link in chrome and have a window explorer open with the files in it.
Cheers
Unfortunately, targetting a specific browser to open on a clicked link is not possible.
Unless you modified some of their internal registry or used an activex plugin, it is just not a supported feature at this time.
You will most likely need to hard code some javascript.
I believe it is possible to reference installed extensions from your code using chrome.extensions.
