Tabs In Google Chrome Have gotten clobbered, How to reset? - google-chrome

For some reason, my tabs have gotten crunched on my google chrome browser (see picture attached). I've try to go into settings and reset browser but it does not change. I'm running windows 8.1 with my fonts at 150% because I have big monitors.
Version 31.0.1650.63 m

I just did some more searching and found the answer (though it makes the screen pretty ugly, google does not do a good job with this)

"I found the answer posted by Azmeer Kahn on November 22. Type chrome://flags in the address and scroll WAY down to the HiDPI section - change from default to Enable. Whew. Worked for me."

Are these tabs pinned? I had similar problems with pinned tabs in early versions of chrome. Unpinning and pinning again might help then.

Black screen in chrome after sleep

I'm experiencing black screen in google chrome (and a lot more...read below) after waking windows 10 up from sleep mode.
This issue appears in google chrome and all derived applications, in few words I'm experiencing this in:
Google chrome Version 80.0.3987.149 (pretty sure i was having this issue also before)
The new Microsoft Edge browser based on chromium
All the pwa (progressive web apps) installed with chrome or edge
All electron applications like:
Visual Studio Code
Whatsapp
All the Electron applications made by me.
I had this issue for a long time but the spreading of chrome based services is going to make this thing a lot annoying...
I'm using Windows 10 1909 home 64 bit (pretty sure I was having this issue also in windows 10 1903)
WORKAROUND: if in google chrome (or edge chromium) i keep a tab that in the closing prompts a javascript alert, in the moment when the alert is prompted, the issue is gone, the black screen is gone and i can return to see the whole tabs.
So after waking up windows 10 from sleep mode, if i see black screen in the browser i can just close it with the cross in the top right corner, in that moment the alert is prompted "are you sure to leave this page?", i answer "no i want to stay in this page" and the issue is gone.
Of course this is a workaround cause you can forget to keep that site in the tabs of chrome/edge, and this doesn't resolve the issue in visual studio code.
Starting google-chrome with the --use-gl=desktop seems to work with no side effects.
I had same issue with Fedora, Chrome and NVIDA drivers. At first I tried enbling the vulkan flag.
Go to chrome://flags and enable ignore-gpu-blacklist and enable-vulkan. However, Chrome performance suffers and others have pointed out with this settings.
Found the vulkan tip in a comment here. The use-gl-desktop tip here

Gyroscope doesn't work on Chrome

after multiple search, I can not find the answer, so I appeal to your knowledge. Since the last Chrome update on android, I can not use my gyroscope on virtual tours online anymore. My gyro includes my up and down motion but not right and left. Firefox is ok... Do you have more information?
Thx
It's a Chrome bug introduced in v65, as it appears from here bugs.chromium.org/. I'm using Chrome Beta to keep testing my work that uses the DeviceOrientation API since it works there. This also means that the bug will be fixed once the stable Chrome reaches v66 publicly.

Options in HTML <select> dropdown are too big in Chrome

Some change in recent Chrome versions (likely in June 2017) cause options in a <select> input to render much bigger than in other browsers (or in older versions of Chrome).
For example, dropdown on this w3schools page on some machines renders like this (Chrome 60.0.3112.90, 64 bit, Windows 10):
instead of expected (Firefox 55.0, 64-bit, Windows 10):
Is there any workaround that can be implemented in code to prevent it from happening (CSS solution preferred)?
So far I've found:
Discussion on Chrome product forums, which confirms that this is observed by many people, but there's no answer whether it was intentional or not. Also, observations were made that presence of touchscreen drivers in a system might cause this behaviour.
Chromium bug #739196 describing this issue, but also with no clear answer whether it's intentional or a Chromium bug
few answers suggesting that padding for <option>'s in a <select> can't be controlled via CSS by design, so this padding was never easy or possible to change.
Should be able to just add some CSS styling for the <option> tag to get it to look the way you want on most browsers.
http://jsfiddle.net/Ahreu/50/
The additional padding was added in Chrome 59 for any device that Chrome thinks has a touch interface. There currently is no way to disable this "feature".
Chrome shows two rows in Dropdown-menu
Google Chrome Help Forum
Observed same issue on Windows 10 + Chrome, with no actual touchscreen interface.
Uninstalling/installing "Synaptics Pointing Device" (touch pad on laptop) fixed the issue for me. As the other forums mentioned, it appears to be related to Chrome thinking it is on a touch enabled device. Worth a try to disable/re-install devices that may appear as such.

iPad firebug lite or similar

I have read lots of blogs about how to get firebug lite to work on the iPad and from what i can gather it worked at some point but hasn't worked in awhile. I can't get it to work myself.
So my question is has anyone gotten firebug lite or something simliar to work on the iPad recently. With the iPad being so popular I find it amazing that there isn't a good solid developer tool out there for it yet. Especially because in my experience it doesn't render web pages as expected quite often and needs specific tweaking.
Just to stop some quick replies, I already know its a webkit browser and the issues that I have spotted only show up on the iphone and ipad, not in chrome or desktop safari. So i really would love a solution that is native to the ipad itself.
The suggestion below worked for me on an iPad3 running IOS6.
This technique is from http://www.jamesmacfie.com/2012/03/debug-your-html-css-on-the-ipadiphone/
Bookmark any site on iPad then edit the address. Paste in the following code:
javascript:(function(F,i,r,e,b,u,g,L,I,T,E.{if(F.getElementById(b))return;E=F[i+'NS']&&F.documentElement.namespaceURI;E=E?F[i+'NS'](E,'script'):F[i]('script');E[r]('id',b);E[r]('src',I+g+T);E[r](b,u);(F[e]('head')[0]||F[e]('body')[0]).appendChild(E);E=new%20Image;E[r]('src',I+L);})(document,'createElement','setAttribute','getElementsByTagName','FirebugLite','4','firebug-lite.js','releases/lite/latest/skin/xp/sprite.png','https://getfirebug.com/','#startOpened');
Try Remote Debugging with Chrome browser. However iOS 6 comes with built-in support for remote debugging - link.
I've installed this many times (and in the past month on the new iPad) and it has worked.

FYI: The directions might be a little outdated so don't give up. What you will be doing is creating a bookmark. Then you edit the link in the bookmark with the script on Martin's website. That also means Firebug Lite can be used on Internet Explorer...although I couldn't edit any elements after getting it up and running.
Good luck!

Why is Dev Tools bar empty?

I'm using Chrome-compatible SRWare Iron 5.0.381 on XP, and was checking out what Chrome has to offer to developers, EG inspecting the contents of the DOM of a currently-loaded web page.
But when I hit CtrlShiftI, the bar is totally empty:
Does someone why this is? Do I need an add-on? Are there other Chrome-compatible tools I should know about?
It appears you’ve found a bug in that fork of Chromium. The inspector works just fine with Google.fr in the latest Google Chrome and Chromium builds. Why don’t you use one of these browsers.
Usually the reason of that is some problem in DevTools JS code.
It is a chance that problem will be solved by chrome restart.
Such kind of problems can happen when chrome is upgrading at background.
The other reason of that can be some changes which you made in DevTools.js.
Of cause if you have done some changes :)
You can troubleshoot such problem by another instance of DevTools.
As example you can try to load DevTools.html page into Safari, open WebInspector for it and check console messages.
