I have a Google Chrome Extension that supports chat. The chrome extension displays the messages sent to you in desktop notification. I have noticed that whenever I send an emoji from an iPhone, it correctly displays in the Desktop notification. But when I try to display the same emoji in the actual application (it's an iframe injected into the page), it appears as a square.
Seems like there's an open bug at https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=62435.
I was wondering why it works correctly in Desktop Notification and not otherwise? Also, is there anything I can do to fix it?
I just implemented Emoji support in my extension using the open-source Twemoji library.
In the simplest form, it involves adding a .js file and calling a function on a DOM element to replace Unicode emoji with Twitter CDN provided images:
twemoji.parse(node);
See the repository readme for more options.
Chrome will now support emojis natively (only OSX). You can wait a few weeks until the stable version is released with this feature, or you can download the dev-version form here, that already contains this feature.
Btw, if you want to test if it works, you can use this page (works like a charm).
You can view emoji with a Chrome extension called Chromoji.
It works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux as well.
Solved by adding Emojis - Emoji Keyboard extension to Chrome.
Additionally, I checked that the Chromoji - Emojis for Google Chrome extension also works.
1st Note: Emojis appear everywhere on the page except for inputs and textarea.
2nd Note: Any of these extensions additionally give us the ability to search for emojis along with the possibility of copying them.
I saw this problem could be solved by updating Internet Explorer to version 11 under Windows 7 x64 (several computers affected, all solved).
In my case, it was because I formatted the pc with pure, no-servicepacked Windows 7 x64. After SP1 on Windows 7 and IE11 have installed, all browsers started to show the emojis correctely. I used for test this site.
If the page shows squares all around the page, the error is not solved. If the page shows several kinds of symbols, than the error is eliminated.
Please tell us if this workaround was effective.

I'm facing a problem with Google Chrome. One of my PDF only shows the first page and the rest looks as following:
Example:
First page is displayed normaly.
It recognizes the amount of pages in the PDF.
If I download the PDF, it is completely fine and useable, I even can open it in Chrome and it works fine. The problem doesn't occur on Firefox or Safari.
I'm using Google Chrome Version 85.0.4183.83 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Thanks for your help.
I experienced the same issue (but with another website). After investigation, it appears that this has something to do with SameSite cookies.
You can fix it by setting this flag to Disabled then restart Chrome:
chrome://flags/#same-site-by-default-cookies
Update: Found an issue in the Chromium bug tracker related to this problem:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=961617
This issue appears to be caused by a conflict between Chrome and Fast Web View pdf optimisation. To fix it you need to turn off the optimisation within your pdf program settings and save the file again (in Adobe products this is located Preferences>Documents>Save Settings - uncheck Save As optimizes for Fast Web View). Pdf files which don't include this optimisation render all pages correctly.
I built a PDF in Illustrator, and am linking to it from a web page. It looks fine in SumatraPDF and in the Windows preview pane, but the browser renders this (just so you know, this is not how I want it to look)
Is this because I have font embedded? The only thing that I want to have happen with this is for a couple links on it to be clickable; otherwise, I'd convert it all to outlines. Is there something I need to do here that I haven't done?
EDIT: Here's a weird update about this. The browser follows the link embedded in the pdf when I click it. So it has the right data, but the wrong presentation apparently.
I'm assuming you are/were using either the Dev or Canary channel of Chrome. There was an experiment running in both channels that was causing this, which has since been reverted in Canary but is still affecting Dev 59.0.3053.X. For the more technical; this experiment enabled the PDFium code to use Skia to render paths instead of Anti-Grain Geometry and caused this font gibberish.
Here is the link to the bug report:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=705039
UPDATE: This was fixed in the Dev Channel with update 59.0.3071.X
We have a Chrome extension that can be used to open a page into our website. From there the user then continues onto the next page which has a custom NPAPI plug-in embedded in it. This has always worked fine. However, since the version 32 update the plug-in loads and runs (it's a video conferencing plug-in and is clearly running as the other side can see video) however it doesn't show up on the page. Examining the DOM everything looks fine. Grabbing the border and re-sizing the browser will cause the plug-in to suddenly render correctly. I've tried all manner of javascript/css tricks to try and mimic this behavior as a workaround but nothing works. Tabs opened manually (not using chrome.tabs.create) work fine.
This worked up till 32.
Any ideas around this?
Chrome 32 is phasing out NPAPI, read the announcement here.
There is a deprecation guide that you can read here.
It seems like Google wants you to use it's Native Client tech to run native compiled code on user's machines. It is cool stuff...but so far I've found it difficult/more limiting to work with when compared to NPAPI (but there are obvious upsides, security for instance).
You could also build a native app and use native message passing to communicate from extension -> app. Once downside to this is that there is currently no way to bundle a native app into an extension install, so the user will need to download and install your app separately.
for example, growl flashes a message in the upper right corner regardless of which application is running. Skype makes the icon in the dock have a little red dot with a number of new messages. Is there anyway to write a chrome extension to have this type of functionality? that is, I want to write a chat system that works in the browser but also notifies users when they have closed my site's tab, or even when chrome is not running.
I could write a native client in addition to my browser based client, but that's double the work. (Tripple the work if you bother with a native window's client vs. just OSX but who would do that?)
Chrome can create "Desktop Notifications" See the Documentation
It's also possible to have the notifications visible when chrome is closed providing you create a "background process". this question/answer might point you in the right direction.
Chrome supports the text-only version of the W3C desktop notification standard. Chrome deprecated the HTML version about a year ago and will stop supporting it very soon. Any webpage viewed in Chrome and any Chrome extension can use this API.
The Rich Notifications API is available to Chrome extensions and packaged apps. As of today, it's dev-channel only and is iterating rapidly. It has implementations on ChromeOS and Windows, with Mac on the way. Linux currently delegates to the W3C implementation. The API is not a 1:1 replacement of W3C HTML desktop notifications, but it does provide many layout options for common use cases.
If you try to visit the default rss feed for any recently updated wordpress site in the chrome browser you ALWAYS get this annoying prompt for "Which service should be used for viewing?". This did not used to happen in chrome. This does not happen in other major browsers. How can I correct this in chrome to just show me the parsed xml like it used to?
PS the example page you see in the background is http://wordpress.com/feed - as soon as you try to visit that page in chrome you should see this prompt as well.
I just discovered "Feed Intent Viewer" which is a Chrome extension that basically brings back the old functionality.

I found a solution after many research (because it's really annoying...)
Download and install the new Beta version of chrome: it's all fixed
