So, I have an HTML page that includes a Silverlight xap file which plays a video. It works correctly while running locally and on our DEV environment when using Chrome or FF. The issue is when I am trying to view the video on our DEV environment using Internet Explorer. When doing so, it prompts me to Display Mixed Content. Whether I hit Yes or No, the browser crashes. I am able to go into my options and Enable Display Mixed Content, which fixes the issue and the video shows up correctly on the DEV environment using IE. But, this is not a good solution for a client facing site. Is there a way around this message to prevent it from crashing the browser?
A workaround for this is to use JavaScript to open the HTML page that contains the video in a new window. The user will still be prompted to Display Mixed Content, but it will not crash the browser and the video will play.

I have a Trusted Web Activity app that is displaying a Progressive Web Application by using the Android Browser Helper. The documentation and code indicates that the mobile app only runs properly when the Chrome Browser is 72 or above. The address bar is visible when the Chrome Browser is outdated. I believe I have the option of a Webview-fallback but I prefer not to use Webview as some of the app's functionality is incompatible with Webview.
While testing, when the Chrome Browser is updated on the same device, the trusted web activity runs without any issues.
What options do I have where the address bar isn't visible?
Is the min SDK the only way to set the minimum browser requirements or can I explicitly set a min Chrome Browser version in the Play Console for the app before the user downloads it? (which prompts the user to update the browser before installation)
Thanks in advance!
It's not possible to set a browser version requirement on the Play Console.
Besides falling back to a WebView, or showing the application with the URL bar, the other solution would to block the application from loading and ask the user to update / install a browser that supports Trusted Web Activity.

What happens if you try to access the iFrame source URL (https://cdnres.willyweather.com.au/widget/loadView.html?id=43747) directly?
If that works, it probably has something to do with the TV browser not supporting or purposely preventing iFrame content.
I'd like to show several webpages in one Chrome window by either writing an app or an extension.
Genuine iframes won't do, because some webpages either disable loading in iframes, or otherwise problems with content-security-policy directives prevent this from working.
webview tags don't use the browser's extension set, or write to history and so on - they seem to be just kind of little browsers of their own.
App Windows would be nice if instead of having their own window, they could be embedded in a single host window.
What I'd like is several "iframe-like" components that act completely like a normal Chrome viewport from the loaded site's perspective, and upon which installed extensions work, etc. If I were able to install extensions inside a webview, that would work too.
Is there anything like this that I can use within a Chrome app or extension?
I am experiencing an issue with opening a Microsoft Office Document, using IT Hit WebDAV AJAX library, in latest Chrome 39.0. running on Windows OS. It is a sporadic issue that occurs only in Chrome, and it happens when one opens a document multiple times. Word instance won't start, the page freezes and browser becomes unresponsive, and Chrome suggests killing the page. The only solution is restarting the browser, which solves the issue.
I have tried opening a document in Chrome on Mac OS X, and it is working fine. So are Mozilla and Safari on all operating systems. It seems to be a Chrome + Windows issue only.
Has anyone experienced this issue and is there a fix?
The Microsoft Office plug-in that opens the document displays a warning popup "Some files can harm your computer.", which is a modeless dialog:
If you quickly click on a link that opens the document more than one time the dialog will hide behind the main web browser window. As a result the web browser window is blocked.
You need to switch to that dialog and confirm or reject document opening, otherwise after some time Chrome will ask you if to kill the page or wait.
Note that there is no way to avoid that dialog, this is a built-in MS Office functionality as far as I know.
Chrome will only work good with ITHitWebDAV if the user has got Office 2013 or superior.
Google is blocking all Java applets and NPAPIs now, so good luck with that. I just detect the browser of the user that wants to edit a document, and if it's chrome, I warn him to change to another browser like Firefox with a modal, and that's all.
Very poor support between Chrome and ITHitWebDAV, and no much you can do about it.
I'm making a small flash application for a website. It works perfectly apart from one small thing, I have implemented a way to bring up the flash settings menu to a user specified tab.
This works as expected in all cases apart from in Safari on Mac, the Local Storage and Privacy tabs are missing. This is a bit of a problem as the Privacy tab is the most important one in this system.
This only happens when the swf is hosted on a subdomain (for example the swf is hosted on bs5.somewebsite.com and then embedded on somewebsite.com) and I'd write it off as an Apple security quirk however to make matters a bit more frustrating some SWF files from other sources (which I do not have the source code for, JWPlayer for example) can access all tabs in the settings window even on Safari for Mac and even when hosted on the subdomain.
I'm authoring this in FlashDevelop.
This usually happens when you are trying to view your SWF through an iFrame. Safari has a "feature" which disables some functionality for sites loaded in iFrames to try and prevent 3rd parties from tracking you.
A simple test is to directly view the page in the iFrame and see if the Local Storage and Privacy tabs appear.
