I am getting re-directs with 'webhp' something like:
https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=div+with+arrow+css&start=10
I also notice that my Google Chrome Bookmark star looks differently and when I click on it I get:
I guess I can't post images...It is a strange bookmark pop-up when I click on the star.
Is this a virus and how do I get back to my old bookmark star?

Bookmark Star
Only this could cause the changing of the bookmark star
Chrome update (new version with new UI)
Shortly my answer is No:
because I don't think a malware is not being involved with changing the bookmark star of your browser
A trojan and other virus is designed to steal data on the PC or to weeken your computer
You can get the bookmark star back with maybe a downgrading If it's relly caused by an update
Re-directs
It could be a Toolbar.
With Toolbar, I don't mean the one with the tools on your browser, I mean the ones like the default page changers like:
Ask toolbar
Yontoo toolbar
Babylon toolbar
Not all of them are malicious, some of them come with installations like adwares

Apparently after the last Chrome update(ver 78.0.39) there is a new feature(tab tooltip, it's quite distracting):
How can I disable this?
The link provided in comments work. Pasting it here for direct solution.
Visit Chrome://flags page
Search for Tab hover, in the highlighted search results, for Tab Hover cards
Select “Disabled ” and restart the Chrome browser.
Do note the flags are temporary, may work for a couple of versions, after that they’ll disappear, this is a temporary solution only, we suggest you to get used to the hover cards feature.

I don't know really how to ask this as a question because I'm not sure what is going on: in my Google Chrome browser the search bar's text is upside down when I try to type in it or click on it, everything else on the page is the proper way and when I click off the search bar the text goes back to normal. Is there something that I may have done to have this happen? It just started today and it is really really annoying. The only inference I have seen about this happening to someone else was on here: http://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/336245/ and although several people claimed to have a similar problem that started occuring this week no one has been able to solve it
Go into your Chrome Settings > Advanced Settings > un-check Use hardware acceleration when available.
Not sure why but it fixed my issue. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Now, I've lost my files, but my page is still Firefox memory, so I could copy the HTML code. But I cannot copy the CSS ! I've tried to recover deleted file using Quetek's utility, but the files are corrupted, and in the css I could see "heade", "master"... But not my CSS. Please help me !! I didn't closed Firefox.

You have just discovered why all developers need to use source control (Git, Mercurial, Subversion, etc.)
That said, this isn't really a programming question and doesn't fit well with Stack Overflow's guidelines. The latest version of FireFox (the only one I've checked) lets you choose "Web Developer" from the menu, then click on the "Style Editor" choice on the top of the newly opened area. In there, you can see the css resources it is using.
Firefox has a built in Inspector tool you can access by right-clicking an element and selecting Inspect Element from the drop down menu that appears.
From here you can select Style Editor menu to the right of the Inspector tab to view the css of the rendered page

Today I noticed I was getting an AJAX loaded "Shopping Assistant" in my Google Search results:
This isn't a Google thing from what I can tell, looks like I have some spyware in my Chrome browser. Anybody know how to remove? (not listed in the Extension)
In my case it was Translate selection 1.2 addon.
Try to open a console (f12 or ctrl+shift+i) into a simple page (that is not chrome store or start page) and start disabling extensions one by one then refresh the page.
This is how it looks like when the thing is still on.
This is a spyware that comes with Flash Video Downloader extension in chrome. UnInstall Flash Video downloader that should get rid of this.
I found the same malware in Translate Selection 1.3 extension. It seems that Chrome Web Store is full of complaints about the problem: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/translate-selection/goanabmlmgfinmjohhepcpffcnkeobjm/reviews.
If you have Superfish WindowShopper extension installed, perform following steps:
Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar, select Tools and then click on Extensions.
In the Extensions tab, remove (by clicking on the Recycle Bin) the Superfish WindowShopper extension.
The BetterChrome extension also contains this. Uncheck "Enable SuperFish Suggestions" in the BeterChrome options.

How can I start Google Chrome with dev tools open at startup? I need that because I want to have 'simulate touch events' from the dev tools settings page enabled when I start Chrome. Any ideas? Is there an .ini file for Chrome where one can set a flag or something?
Realize that this is a bit late, but;
When opening the dev-tools settings menu, right next to the "Enable" override checkbox, there is another checkbox saying "Enable on DevTools startup".
Checking this will enable the selected overrides by default when opening the DevTools window.
Hope it helps!
