Whenever I sign in to my Google account through Chrome, malwares like wander butst ads get installed in my laptop affecting all the browsers. Is there any problem with my Google Chrome settings or Google account and what are the ways to resolve it?
First, check your extensions. You could have something stuck in there that is creating ads.
Also, as I'm sure you don't keep giving it permission to install, your machine probably has a malicious program on it. Assuming Windows, open the control panel and go to the "Uninstall a program" section. Remove any programs that you don't trust, or by authors you don't recognize. Google anything you aren't sure about.
To make a very clean sweep, give Malwarebytes a shot. It's free and should remove anything you missed.
Last, go back and check your extensions again. If everything is clear there, go to your settings page, open the advanced settings, navigate to the Privacy section, open the content settings menu, go to Plugins, and click the "Manage individual plugins" link. If anything here looks fishy (it probably won't) google it. Otherwise, you should be malware free.
Note that this is a deep clean. You probably only need to clear your extensions and run Malwarebytes to solve most malware problems.
First and foremost I would run CCleaner. It can be downloaded from https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner. Then I would run malwarebytes. And in that order.

I have a number of embedded devices with a web-based front end, each on a different randomly assigned ip address.
I often want to check between these devices but, when they're open in different tabs, it is hard to tell which is which.
I have attempted to embed these pages in iframes with a header labelling each one, but CORS prevented the pages from showing.
Is there a way I could get the opening page to label a tab or window to help me distinguish between similar looking pages? Failing that, and possibly in SuperUser territory, is there any way I could manually label the tabs in my browser once they're open?
Here's a partial answer. There are a number of third-party plugins for Chrome which allow the user to manually rename tabs. I have installed one called Simple Tab Renamer and it seems to be doing the job.
An automated system would be nicer, but I suspect security policies would prevent that.

I want to know if its possible to customize the way your default google chrome look locally on your computer. I am talking from a developer's point of view and not user(ie not to change the home page by going into chrome setting).
I can change the UI by using the chrome f12 option locally. As chrome is installed on my machine then there should be an index.html or something alike file present to render chrome as it does. I want to access that file if possible.
Thanks
you might be able to find some various files, so i would suggest looking through the following folder. C:\Users\MYUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
or C:\Users\MYUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\ as these are the ones that contain your chrome installation, there maybe another folder but this is always the one i have used when developing extensions..
Otherwise i think you will be stuck with the extension part, i myself would have a look at this if you really need.. But that could be a week before i get the chance.
If your looking to deploy a custom google chrome, so they dont need to install extensions. Try the following google term: deploy custom chrome
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/external_extensions
But editing it directly with just finding a single html file / style i dont think is as easy as it would need to load certain objects into memory and i think they are a little more complex than a plain text file.
EDIT - Looks Like Its Extension Only Now
Had 5 minutes and did a quick google, there was a point where you could use custom style sheets for v32 and below but that was removed https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?revision=234007&view=revision
So you either need to work with firefox or build an extension.. I could not see any files/folders that would do what you need. So yea i'd start looking at extensions.
I found a list of tools to check web sites but what if I haven't deployed yet? What if the collection of .htm[l] files is just sitting on my local disk?
You can open the html file in your browser of choice. The links should still take you to the appropriate location but the url might not be active since your website is not live. This is a manual way to do it at least.
There may be a more automated way that I do not know of. Hope this helps.
SHORT DIRECTIONS:
Select the file and right click choosing open with...
Choose your web browser and it should open the file in your browser.
Using the tools you linked will be faster most likely
Just follow the directions in your link and read the documentation/manual. They are usually meant to be non technical. Especially the chrome one.
When I'm viewing the downloaded resources for a page in the Chrome web inspector, I also see the HTML/JS/CSS requested by certain extensions.
In the example above, indicator.html, indicator.js and indicator.css are actually part of the Readability Chrome extension, not part of my app.
This isn't too big a deal in this particular situation, but on a more complex page and with several extensions installed, it can get quite crowded in there!
I was wondering if there was a way to filter out any extension-related resources from this list (i.e. any requests using the chrome-extension:// protocol).
Does anyone know how I could achieve this?
Not quite the solution I was after (I'd have preferred a global setting), but there is now a way to filter out requests from extensions, as mentioned by a commenter on the issue I originally opened.
In the network tab filter box, enter the string -scheme:chrome-extension (as shown below):
This is case-sensitive, so make sure it's lowercase. Doing this will hide all resources which were requested by extensions.
Just enter "-f" in Network field
Was having the same question when my extension adds a lot of noise in the network tab.
Some extensions also fire a lot of data like data:text/image etc, you can append more filter with - like:
-scheme:chrome-extension -scheme:data
Another way to get the http/https requests is to just use scheme:https without - because the resources that extensions request are usually from their local bundle:
scheme:https
An Incognito Window, can be configured to include or exclude extensions from the extensions page of Chrome settings.
One alternative is to go to "Network Request blocking" tab and add "chrome-extension:" to the list, thus extension requests will be blocked and coloured red so it's easy to visually filter them out.
you can simply enable this option and requests from extension will be group.
Update: It can only group requests that create by the extension that draw iframe, such as cVim
Chrome saying while I am accessing my site, after searching I cleaned my code from the site but chrome still showing then I removed all files from my site and just upload index.html (blank file) but warning is still showing.
Chrome warnings will be based on black-lists which record where malware has been found in a site or domain, this isn't a live "scan" and does not necessarily mean that malware is on that page or at that specific time. It is not clear from your question if you've created a new folder and index.html and you are also seeing a malware warning when browsing to that URL, or if you've replaced your site content with an empty folder and index.html and that warning is still showing. Once you have taken the steps to disinfect the site then you can request a review which should help remove the warning http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=163633.
The malware warning should be taken seriously even if you are confident in your own site content as crackers use automatic toolkits to find vulnerabilities in websites and inject code into them to infect visitors, as these kits are largely automatic there isn't the protection in obscurity you might otherwise assume.
If you've not been able to find and fix the issue Chrome is warning about, you owe it to your visitors- and your own reputation- to take the site content down until you can resolve the problem.
Google Chrome's malware blacklists should be based on same data used by Google's safebrowsing advisory. You can access this information for a particular site (e.g. stackoverflow.com) via the following url:
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=stackoverflow.com
Just replace the domain with your own and it should give you some indication why your site generated malware warnings in Chrome.
1.In the top-right corner of the browser window, click the Chrome menu Chrome menu.
Select Settings.
Click Show advanced settings.
Under "Privacy," uncheck the box "Protect you and your device from dangerous sites."
