I have made a drive app, added to drive through permissions. It is not published in the Chrome web store, but is picked up by my chromebook as an app.
The app shows the same icons, as specified in the developers console, wherever I see them, except, I now discover, on my chromebook. Clicking on the finder brings up an icon I haven't used in several months. It may have been specified at some point in the old console, which appears now to be completely unreachable.
When I look at App info, it shows the correct icon.
So, question is, where is Chrome OS / Chromebook / Google getting this icon from, and how can I remove/delete/update it?
When you published you app in Chrome, you have supplied some images.. you can review the images and see if you can find this old icon there..

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 need to be able to translate my web application into another language. I enabled the google translate extension in chrome. When I load my company website with chrome the translate icon appears and I can translate the site. I then loaded my secure web application in chrome and the translate icon disappeared. My knowledge on how the translator works with web pages in minimal at best. Any help would be appreciated as I do not know where to begin. Any links to helpful articles on how the translator does its job would also be appreciated
I also had a problem with the google translate (gt) icon disappearing from the right side of the Chrome address bar. I believe I caused the problem myself as I was trying to come up with a way to use it to switch languages quickly using Keyboard Maestro.
I keep 2 Chrome windows open with 2 different gmail accounts, and the gt icon was only missing from one of the windows. I tried many things and couldn't get the gt icon to come back.
Eventually, I was able to fix the problem based on the procedure described on this page, which suggests going to this address: chrome://settings/languages to make sure the Offer to translate pages that aren't in a language you read option is on in the Languages section, as shown in this image:
In my case, the option was already set to on. So I turned it off, logged out of the account associated with that Chrome window, closed that browser window, and when I opened a fresh browser window for that gmail account the gt icon was back.
I'm using Chrome Version 96.0.4664.93 on a MacAir (M1, 2020) running MacOS 12.0.1
I published my chrome extension to the store a couple of hours ago and received the message: "Your item has been published. All changes will take effect within a few minutes." and am yet to see it appear in the store (still seeing this message).
Does it usually take this long for a chrome extension to show up in the store?
When I click "View in Chrome Web Store" link in the new Developer Dashboard I get to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/************************/publish-accepted-testers?authuser=0&hl=en page:
But if I click on the extension name in the old Developer Dashboard I get to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/extension_name/****************** page where Add to Chrome button is active.
If you go to the webstore developer dashboard, you should be able to click on your extension, that will bring you to its webstore page. You can share this link before your extension gets listed, which often takes a few hours.
I ran into this issue, and needed to revert to the old developer dashboard (as #Winand mentioned) to get to the correct link in the web store. Here's a screen shot of how to opt out of the new Chrome Extension Developer Dashboard:
More info on the Chromium blog here: https://blog.chromium.org/2020/03/new-developer-dashboard-and.html.
close the the browser and restart it.If still getting prob then go and try again to the more tools and extension .Search it over there ,if enable then restart & use it.
I started developing Android apps using Eclipse IDE with Windows 7. In the course of developing I would be constantly consulting SO via Google Chrome and navigating back to Eclipse IDE to try out a solution that I found; and then back to SO if the solution didn't work.
Recently, I bought a computer with Windows 8, and each time I navigate back to Eclipse (which is on a taskbar on desktop) I lose the SO page that I was on and can't return to it.When I navigate to Google Chrome I just get a new page.I know it sounds so simple, but how do I navigate back to the page I was on previously? ....(I have the same problem with Gmail)
(I would like to be able to continue working in the way I did with Windows 7; if that is possible.)
I think I found the answer to my dilemma: Whenever I navigated back to desktop, I did so by "grabbing" the current page from the top and "dragging" it down; thereby destroying it. I should rather, have navigated via the pop-up window in the top left corner of the screen, thereby conserving the present page..(elementary, my dear Watson)
Can I create a plugin or an extension for Google Chrome MOBILE (Android Google Chrome)?
If not, can I create an extension for Google Chrome (desktop), which will add a button in Google Chrome bar. This button will open the page in another web browser (in my own web browser), so, this button should launch my own web browser.
Extensions are not supported, see: https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/faq .
Specifically:
Does Chrome for Android now support the embedded WebView for a hybrid native/web app?
A Chrome-based WebView is included in Android 4.4 (KitKat) and later. See the WebView overview for details.
Does Chrome for Android support apps and extensions?
Chrome apps and extensions are currently not supported on Chrome for
Android. We have no plans to announce at this time.
Can I write and deploy web apps on Chrome for Android?
Though Chrome apps are not currently supported, we would love to see great interactive web sites accessible by URL.
You can use bookmarklets (javascript code in a bookmark) - this also means they sync across devices.
I have loads - I prefix the name with zzz, so they are eazy to type in to the address bar and show in drop down predictions.
To get them to operate on a page you need to go to the page and then in the address bar type the bookmarklet name - this will cause the bookmarklet to execute in the context of the page.
edit
Just to highlight - for this to work, the bookmarklet name must be typed into the address bar while the page you want to operate in is being displayed - if you go off to select the bookmarklet in some other way the page context gets lost, and the bookmarklet operates on a new empty page.
I use
zzzpocket - send to pocket.
zzztwitter tweet this page
zzzmail email this page
zzzpressthis send this page to wordpress
zzztrello send this page to trello
and more...
and it works in chrome whatever platform I am currently logged on to.
Some extensions like blocksite use the accessibility service API to deploy extension like features to Chrome on Android. Might be worth a look through the play store. Otherwise, Firefox is your best bet, though many extensions don't work on mobile for some reason.

Just use a different browser.
Follow the steps given below to install Chrome extensions on your Android device.
Step 1: Open Google Play Store and download Yandex Browser. Install the browser on your phone.
Step 2: In the URL box of your new browser, open 'chrome.google.com/webstore’ by entering the same in the URL address.
Step 3: Look for the Chrome extension that you want and once you have it, tap on 'Add to Chrome.’
The added Chrome extension will now be automatically added to the Yandex browser.
I imagine that there are not many browsers supporting extension. Indeed, I have been interested in this question for the last year and I only found Dolphin supporting add-ons and other cool features announced few days ago. I want to test it soon.
