I need to access a website from my bookmarks but i don't want to sync my bookmarks to another persons computer.. Once i was able to open the stored bookmarks in Google docs, but there is no way to access the bookmarks now.
Is there a way to access my synced bookmarks without syncing ?
The google documentation says nothing about being able to access them,
Also, when you go to "Manage accounts" in you google account it says:
Chrome sync Nothing interesting here.
Stop sync and delete data from Google
Chrome privacy policy
So I guess it's impossible to do through their website without syncing... You can try syncing, copying all the bookmarks you need, and stop the syncing.
If you have some kind of remote access to your computer you can go to the Chrome data folder, in Windows 7 it's located in:
C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
Maybe try messing around there... there are files with the name "bookmarks" and they're not encrypted or anything...

I have a Google Account and I am using Google Chrome. In Chrome I have synced all my data (Bookmarks, Passwords...). Next to my Account, I have a Chrome Profile for this Account. So I got some questions.
Are these Profiles only local on the PC [since on a different PC with the same Google Account everything (Bookmarks, PW) is synced but not the profile (like the profile name)]?
What happens if I delete the profile, will it delete all my synced Data as well or only the appearance of the profile...?
Like I said I figured out that the profile is not synced to every device, However Bookmarks and PW are synced.
Can you guys please help me figure that out, I am too scared to lose data by trying. Thanks in advance.
So basically I did some research and tried everything with a test account.
There are online profiles called the google-account and there are offline-profiles (like chrome profiles). If you sync the chrome-profile to the google-account. You can delete the chrome-profile without losing any data like (bookmarks, pw or history). If you do not sync the profile with the account you will lose this data if you delete the profile.
That means if you create a chrome-profile on a different device and sync it to the account it will affect your account if your change any bookmarks and pw... However deleting the profile does not affect them since its syned to the google-account and a delete of the profile is only local on the device u are using.
That's the reason why the name of the chrome-profiles ** are not synced** on all devices.
I hope i could answere the question good enough.

When shutting down Windows 8.1, Google Chrome produces the error message "Google Chrome did not shutdown properly". How can I get Chrome to shut down without giving me that error message?
I don't have to be logged in as a Google user.
There is another alternative, you just need to go to:
Settings
Advanced Settings
System
And uncheck the Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed option.
For now that is the best solution I have found that does not require you to delete your profile.
Received this error and found that the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences file had the System, Hidden and Read-only bits set. Used attrib to remove them. The first opening of Google Chrome after stated the same message, but subsequent opening the issue was resolved.
On this system, it appears to have been caused by the installation of the Audible Manager from Audible.com.
In the section Users there is an option to "Delete this user", click the button, confirm that you want to delete the user and presto, Chrome stops producing the error message when you start it.
This is a fix for people who wants to use the browser without a user profile. As a little note I have noticed that Chrome seems to be slightly slower booting, but for me it's well worth it to get rid of the error message.

Suddenly my phpmyadmin page can't load and redirect to the same login page, although I can login to mysql through shell, I tried to clear the cache of the browser and still have this issue. I read in this post to clear the server/host log files and I search in google 'how to do that' and I find the log files was at /var/log folder, but I don't know which files is can be delete, I'm afraid to lost my data in mysql. I'm running server with lamp. Which log files exactly should I delete?
There's no mysql data in /var/log, just log files, so you can't lose any data.
Delete a bunch of the older *.gz files. These are log files from previous weeks or months, depending on how many old files you keep during rotation. You should also update your logrotate configuration files to reduce the number of old files you save, so you don't fill up the disk again.

Read first please: This solution is intended for a limited amount of elder users and they certainly care more about installing "another thing" than about a silent installation (they don't even trust the internet and don't use it) and also they are fully aware that I will save that process for them; yes, I told them and they agreed. If you have a better solution, please share it with me.
Now the question: I need to silently install/copy Google Chrome in a Windows computer without internet, while installing another offline web application of mine provided in a CD. Is there any reliable portable version of Chrome?
In other words: I need to save the chrome installation process to the users, so they only need to execute a single installer.
Extra info: I'm currently using http://www.advancedinstaller.com/ to generate the installer.
Thank you.
Here is Chrome Portable http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable

When I run chrome, it creates a new process for each instance. Why would each process instance have access to the same session cookie? Even all the incognito instances share the same session cookie. How can I turn this off?
Why would each process instance have access to the same session cookie?
Because not sharing the cookie jar would cause nonintuitive behavior -- for instance, if you opened a site in one tab, logged in, then opened a new tab and navigated to that same site, you would be logged out in that tab.
How can I turn this off?
There are instructions on how you can set up multiple separate profiles here:
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824?hl=en
As far as I'm aware, though, there's no way to use a separate cookie jar without a whole separate profile.
That's ridiculous, that incognito windows share anything. They should be completely separate independent instances. I struggle with this all the time, using multiple admin accounts to administer multiple client accounts, I have to log out of one in order to access another, and back and forth. I would expect that once new instance is created it knows nothing of the other, unlike tabs where I would expect to share it.
I don't use google accounts in this work, they have nothing to do with google so creating separate profiles is no use since it can be done only with google accounts.
Only way around it is to stop using Chrome.
