I have a screen full of code that displays for about half a second on loading some pages in chrome.
I managed to grab a screenshot of it.
I think this one is from a google search for the London tube map.
I have disabled chrome extensions and antivirus but it still appears.
Does anyone know what this is?
In this particular instance the code is generated by Bitdefender Traffic Light extension. If the antivirus is installed, the extension seems to be enabled without being displayed in Chrome's list of extensions.
Disabling the antivirus doesn't seem to disable the extension. But you can clearly see it is activated in a google search as each link has a specific icon next to it.
Other extensions might do a similar thing, but in the lower-left part of the screenshot, the code is:
fraud_link = "http://trafficlight.bitdefender.com/info?url={URL}&language=en_US";
Which makes it obvious this extention is causing the code to be displayed.

A customer of ours using our software has generated a letter.
Our software converts it to a PDF and then displays it to them in a preview window.
This PDF shows correctly on every other computer that we have tested on, but for them, they have an experience of blotchy text. Some letters are not there, some have been cut in half.
It's worth noting, but when they download the pdf and open it in Chrome in full, it shows without issue.
(I've had to redact personal information, but there should be enough to get a good idea)
Has any one seen this occur.

I have been having a very odd problem in all Salesforce orgs, but only when using Chrome.
If I go to Setup, and click on a "classic" setup link, like "users", instead of opening it in the iframe within lightning, it attempts to open it in a new browser tab. The page renders, but none of the links or javascript do anything.
I have seen advice that says to avoid a plugin called "Ghostery" but I am not using that, and have turned off other browser extensions but nothing works. This is not happening for anyone else I know using chrome and salesforce, which leads me to believe it is some Chrome configuration setting, but I don't know what to look for.
Problem
A chrome extension I wrote is grayed out, and I can't figure out why.
Context
I wrote and submitted a Chrome Extension called Pull Favors to the Chrome webstore.
It uses the CSS order property to sort and group GitHub Pull-Requests in a logical way.
The other day I noticed that several of my extensions were grayed out, and 'blocked'--meaning they no longer work. One of these was Pull Favors.
According to this support article:
If you see a message saying "Extensions Disabled," it's because Chrome has turned off one or more of your extensions to keep your data safe while you're browsing the Internet. The extensions that Chrome turned off either didn't come from the Chrome Web Store or were installed without your permission."
My extension is published in the Chrome webstore and was certainly installed with my permission.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail.
I suspect there's something wrong with my extension (since a few other extensions seem to still work), but I can't figure out what it is or find anything about it on the internet.
What's going on?
Research
Chrome seems to have implemented a new policy in November 2013, which has caused some uproar in the community, which prevents Windows users from installing extensions from outside the web store.
I'm not sure why this is affecting me, as I'm an OS X user and, as I said, my extension is distributed through the webstore.
Add browser_action.default_icon in your manifest.json file
{
...
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icons/icon-32.png"
},
...
}
Before
After
In one of the last couple updates, they did something weird with the extensions that now makes all enabled extensions show up in either the toolbar or in the menu. In your case, the extension icon is grayed out because you don't even use a browser action or a page action, so it is just showing the icon. So it isn't disabled, just doesn't have an active state so is grayed out.
A quick search doesn't seem to turn up a blog post about it, but if you right click on the icon you can hide it in the menu.
The Chrome GA debugger does not appear to work. I can't find any info about how to fix it either.
There is an icon on the top screen. No window on the bottom, no readout. No feedback.
Compounding the problem is that searching for 'analytics debugger does not work' returns only results about setting up analytics or problems associated with GA or Chrome.
I'm starting this thread because none currently exists.
Anyone had this issue?
Are you sure you understand what it is supposed to be doing?
I just installed it. It adds a browser action button that changes state between off and on when clicked. It also reloads the current tab when clicked, but you have to reload other tabs if you need it to take effect there.
The information that GA module outputs goes to the page's JavaScript console. The extension does not automatically open it. You can open it with Ctrl+Shift+J
I found the answer.
You have to open the Chrome javascript console. I doesn't launch automatically.
WebGL does not work in the following three scenarios:
(for the 'test webgl' site used get.webgl.org)
1 Start chrome, Google search for the 'test webgl' site, click on the link in the search result.
2 Go to the 'test webgl' site from a link in an email.
3 Start Chrome from a short cut or command prompt, "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" http://get.webgl.org/
This only happens when Chrome is not already running. In other words WebGL does not work when chrome starts up. However it does work if chrome is already running.
The best demonstration is scenario number 3, above. This starts chrome and goes to http://get.webgl.org/ and Webgl does not work. Then do exactly the same again but this time with chrome already open and Webgl works.
Would very much appreciate feedback or a solution, thanks.
Have also created various test sites in html, javascript and webgl, in order to find a work-around. For example if webgl is not available then allow the user to click on a link to open the page in a new tab, this does not work. However if the user opens a new tab then loads the page, webgl is detected and works.
In short, if a customer opens chrome and searches for your website (that has webgl content). Then clicks on the link, webgl will not work. It does not seem reasonable to then instruct the customer to open a new tab and then go to the same website a second time. So far have not been able to find a solution so that it just works without the customer having to fiddle around.
I realize that this may be a chrome issue as it does not occur in firefox, however am trying to find a javascript solution rather than waiting for chrome developers to fix it.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Mack,
Thanks for your reply. The majority of visitors to my web site have XP and Chrome. I should imagine that this is true for quite a lot of peoples, websites.
Problem 1 The first fallback I had on my website was to detect if webgl is supported. If yes then continue as normal. If no then display a help page. This was simple and worked, however, google crawlers do not handle the javascript very well, therefore always index the webgl help page, rather than the home page.
Solution 1 Managed to fix this by having a popup box appear when webgl is not supported, giving the user a choice of whether to continue or go to the help page. The conditional code that processes the user response is arranged so that if the user is a google crawler then it simply 'falls through' and displays the html content of the home page, and not the help page.
There are lots of web sites that seem to have this same problem, including get.webgl.org, in other words, if you do a google search for a website, and that site contains webgl detection and fallback code, the search result always shows the fallback content, rather than the authors intended main content.
Problem 2 Now that I finally have the home page listed correctly by google, found that am still losing many customers, as they are starting chrome, searching google for my site 'suit yourself shirts', clicking the link in the result and being told incorrectly that webgl is not supported.
Am very interested in your solution but do not quite understand how it works. Have tried detection then page refresh or load the page in a new tab or display a link for the user to load the page, but none of these methods seem to work. Seems like quite a fundamental problem that would effect many webgl websites. Would be very greatfull if you could explain your suggestion a little further. Thanks for your help, kind regards - Gary
