Is there a way that gives me the opportunity to download html webpages through google chrome or chromium using only commands in the terminal.
WGET doesn't seem to work well for me.
You can try with httrack.
It allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer.

I just upgraded to Google Chrome v73.0.3683.103 and I am now unable to view FTP sites in Chrome. Instead of Chrome loading the FTP directory listing in the browser, it downloads a file named download which contains a directory listing.
How do I get the ability to view the FTP directories directly in Chrome back?
I have tried going into Internet Options > Advanced and clicking on the "Enable FTP folder view (outside of Internet Explorer)" but, that didn't seem to do the trick.
In-browser FTP was deprecated back in v72. I hadn't updated Chrome in a few releases. I have rolled back to v71 until I find a better workflow substitute

I have made many CRX files for Google Chrome, and I was wondering if there was a way for someone to download the CRX file from my website and have it automatically installed (like it does for the Chrome Webstore)?
There's a special API from Google to install applications and extensions inline from your website. However, it is still hosted in the Chrome Web Store. The advantage is that user doesn't have to leave your website. It is called chrome.webstore API.
Nice read about API itself:

I am using Chrome to test some of my WebGL texture programs. According to the book 'WebGL Programming Guide', if I need to access files from my local disk, I should add the option --allow-file-access-from-files to Chrome.
How do I do that?
The short answer is DON'T
Open up a shell/terminal/command line and type
cd path/to/htmlfiles
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Then in your browser to go
http://localhost:8000
If you find it's too slow consider this solution
The reason you don't want to allow file access is allowing it can be used to steal data from your machine. For example, you go to a site and download some webpage. You then view that page locally. With file access on that locally run page can now access all your files AND upload them to a server.
I want to experiment with Mike Bostock's stacked bar chart (https://gist.github.com/3886208) in my browser using web inspector. I realize that I need a local copy of the example files (the index.html and the data.csv file) in order to play with it. However, when I download the 'gist' folder and open the index.html file with Chrome, the chart doesn't appear. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
With Google Chrome, go to Top Menu > View > Developer > Javascript console. You will see a message
XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///path/to/data.csv. Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP.
As per https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki
When developing locally, note that your browser may enforce strict
permissions for reading files out of the local file system. If you use
d3.xhr locally (including d3.json et al.), you must have a local web
server. For example, you can run Python's built-in server:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888 &
Once this is running, go to http://localhost:8888/.
I am using HTML 5 Geolocations API's for tracking location however I am getting the following error on the Geolocation icon in Chrome Browser
"This Page has been blocked from tracking your Location"
I went to the Preferences and Setting's Page but did not find any help.
In my case the problem was that I opened the HTML file from the file system (file:///...). Browsers generally try to prevent accessing personal information (which includes location) from local files, so you have to serve the file through a web server (even if it is local).
One simple way to serve a static website located in your filesystem is SimpleHTTPServer if you have Python installed. Just navigate to the folder using the command prompt, and say python -m SimpleHTTPServer, and then you can view the file on localhost:8000.
Even I was facing the same problem. One of the solution is to open to file in another browser, I tried in Firefox and it worked fine. Another solution is to open the file through your WAMP server (Local host).
There is a good article here about Geolocation API. You have to go to chrome://settings/content and there, you can find Location information. You should be able to find the exceptions and manage them there.
