Google Chrome Disable Browser Cache

google chrome disable browser cache I am modifying a site's appearance (CSS modifications) but can't see the result on Chrome because of annoying persistent cache. I tried Shift+refresh but it doesn't work.

How can I disable the cache temporarily or refresh the page in some way that I could see the changes?

Solution

he Chrome DevTools can disable the cache.

F12 or Right-click and Inspect Element to open the DevTools. Now click Network in the toolbar. Finally, check the Disable cache checkbox at the top.

Keep in mind, and as a tweet from @ChromiumDev stated, this setting is only active while devtools is open.

Solution 2

• Pull up the Chrome developer console by pressing F12 and then (with the console open):
• Right click (or hold left click) on the reload button at the top of the browser and select "Empty Cache and Hard Reload."
• This will go beyond "Hard Reload" to empty the cache entirely, ensuring that anything downloaded via javascript or etc. will also avoid using the cache. You don't have to mess with settings or anything, it's a quick 1-shot solution.

Why Does Google Chrome Look Different

why does google chrome look different I changed the fonts on my blog a few days, but the changes still haven't appeared in my Google Chrome Browser. I do see the changes on all other of my devices including the Google Chrome browser on my other computer. This is what it's supposed to look like. enter image description here

But this is what it looks like in the browser I changed the fonts with. enter image description here

However it doesn't look like this in any other browser or another device. What could be wrong? My website is if you want to check for yourself.

Solution

Most probably the fonts are cached. Try looking at your website in a "private navigation" window, it should be fine. You might or might not want to clear your cache after that (if it works correctly on private navigation, it will work correctly after you clear your cache).

Also note that your browser may not support that font, and this might also be a reason why your font don't look the same.

More informations : Many informations (such as font, passwords, images...) are stored in your computer memory to lower loading time everytime you try to load that same page. That is what the cache is. Basically everytime you load the page, your browser will try to see if you have things in your computer memory before loading them from the web. In this case, you may have the font saved in your computer memory. By the way i believe there is a developer mode in wordpress (i don't have one right now to check). If you have no visitors yet, you might want to enable that dev mode so that nothing will be stored in cache and it will be easier for you to edit it.

How To Change Font Size In Google Chrome Address Bar

how to change font size in google chrome address bar I want to change the size of address bar in Chrome programmatically..where there is any way to do it? I want t change it as it's too big for me..

Solution

Generally, the font size of the address bar is determined by your OS's default font size. Read comments here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=46472. So if you want to adjust it, change your OS default.

If you build your own version of Chrome, you can change the look and feel of the browser, but you'll have to write different code for each platform you want to support.

If you don't want to build your own version of Chrome, then on Windows, you can inject yourself into the Chrome process with SetWindowsHook or SetWindowsHookEx, find the window handle corresponding to the address bar, and then do anything you want to it. Similar idea on OSX. Not sure about Linux. This isn't a recommended approach; it's invasive and subject to breakage.

As far as a Chrome API for an extension or app to change the address bar size, nope, can't do that.

Solution 2

I think Microsoft must have made the titlebars larger to make them more easily draggable when using a touch interface, but they just use unnecessary vertical space on a normal desktop or laptop computer, especially if it has a low resolution screen. I also think it looks nicer when it is reduced in size a little.

The following registry .reg file will make the titlebar thinner, the titlebar text smaller, scroll bars thinner and the border padding as thin as possible.

This also works on Windows 10, but it does not affect WindowsRT/Metro/Modern/UWP/Whatever apps.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
    "CaptionHeight"="-285"
    "CaptionWidth"="-285"
    "CaptionFont"=hex:f4,ff,ff,ff,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,90,01,00,00,\
      00,00,00,01,00,00,05,00,53,00,65,00,67,00,6f,00,65,00,20,00,55,00,49,00,00,\
      00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
      00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
    "ScrollWidth"="-240"
    "ScrollHeight"="-240"
    "PaddedBorderWidth"="0"

Remember to export the WindowMetrics key before you start modifying it, just in case you need to revert to the defaults after having messed something up.

You need to log out and back in again to see the changes.

Find Google Chrome Latest Version Number

find google chrome latest version number I am trying to figure out a rather stable way to programmatically determine the latest release version number of the chrome browser. It doesn't have to be failproof as it's only a nice-to-have-feature I can blend out whenever the result looks "suspicious".

There seems to be no API (is there?).
I dont want to rely on third parties handling that stuff manually.
I dont want to parse any website output.
So I ended up fetching git files.

There seems to be no "release" branch nor a "release" tag or something else I can think of neither.

You might answer "why?"... I know about feature detection, I know browser sniffing can be fooled and I am aware of the fact that (every) browser will notify their users when it's time to update. Still makes sense in my case. On the other hand its solely for display purposes. Nothing is going to depend on it later on – promise

Solution

• Type Chrome://help
• You will see the Version of chrome there

Solution 2

The Chrome team uses the OmahaProxy dashboard to keep track of current versions in stable/beta/dev/canary. If you can scrape that you can get whatever version number you're looking for.

Solution 3

If you're on debian based linux, you could install and update your chrome once a day, and somehow parse the version number, but this is not realtime.

For example:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
Which will give a log like this:
(Reading database ... 113338 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking google-chrome-stable (48.0.2564.97-1) over (47.0.2526.111-1) ...
Setting up google-chrome-stable (48.0.2564.97-1) ...

Google Chrome Text Looks Weird

google chrome text looks weird I still got the problem of very bad font rendering in Google Chrome. I'm using version 50.0.2661.102 m. I deactivated "DirectWrite" and it got a bit better, but thin fonts are still horrible to read. I reinstalled chrome to get the default settings.

Here is a comparison with Firefox (top). Ignore the word spacings, its caused by responsive layout and justified text. This happens with all fonts on all pages. I saw a lot of workarounds, but they all assume to have Chrome 36 and below installed. Officially it is fixed since Chrome 37. But I get this on all of my PCs. Is there a fix, or is chrome just bad with fonts?

Solutions:

I encountered a similar problem last night when I updated my Chromium-based Browser (Vivaldi). Text, especially certain colors or text against certain backgrounds, looked horrible. It looked jagged, unnatural or sometimes blurry. Luckily, I've rectified the issue:

Type chrome://flags in the url bar and hit enter.

Enable DirectWrite if you still have it disabled.

Scroll down to LCD text antialiasing and select Enabled.

Relaunch the browser.

Text should now appear crisp and smooth.

Solution 2

• If by chance you're using Chrome/Firefox on Windows 10, I found the fix!
• Control panel > Fonts > Adjust Clear Type
• Follow the instructions and bam! All fonts on all browsers are clear and no longer jagged or blurry. :-)

How To Make Google Chrome Default Browser

how to make google chrome default browser, In my experience, when opening the Google Chrome browser, if it’s not the “default” browser, a window will pop out telling you that it’s not your default browser and will allow you to click a button to make it your default browser. I believe Microsoft Edge (which replaced Internet Explorer) will give you a similar pop-up window when you open it and it’s not your default browser.

Here are all possible solutions

Windows 10

1. Install Chrome if it isn't installed yet. Chrome will need to be installed before you can select it as your default browser.
2. Open the Start menu and click or tap "Settings." This may just look like a gear.
3. Select "System" from the Settings Home menu. This will display the different system settings.
4. Click or tap the "Default apps" tab. You'll find this in the left menu of the System window.
5. Select the "Web browser" option. This will display the browsers installed on your computer.
6. Choose Google Chrome to make it the default. Chrome will automatically open links and HTML files.
7. Use the Control Panel if your settings aren't being saved. Some users have reported that their default browser choice is not saved by Windows, or that Chrome is not appearing. If this is the case, open the Control Panel and follow the steps in the next section to set Chrome as the default browser. You can open the Control Panel by right-clicking the Start button and selecting Control Panel.

Windows 8, 7, and Vista

1. Install Chrome. Chrome will need to be installed before you can set it as your default browser. You can download Chrome by visiting Chrome Web Browser in Internet Explorer.
2. Open the Control Panel. You can find this in your Start menu. In Windows 8, right-click the Start button and select "Control Panel," or type "control panel" on the Start screen.
3. Select "Default Programs." If you're in Category view, click the "Programs" category first.
4. Click "Set your default programs." It may take a while for the list of programs to load.
5. Select "Google Chrome" from the list of programs. You may have to scroll to find it.
6. Click "Set this program as default." This will assign Chrome to be the default program for all web links and HTML files.

macOS

1. Install Chrome if it isn't already. Google Chrome will need to be installed before you can set it as your default browser.
2. Run the Chrome installer after downloading it. To install Chrome, click the DMG file in your Downloads folder, then drag the Google Chrome icon into the Applications folder. You can delete the DMG file once the installation is complete.
3. Click the Apple menu and select "System Preferences." Once Chrome is installed, you can set it as the default browser from the System Preferences menu.
4. Select the "General" option. You can find this at the top of the "System Preferences" menu.
5. Click the "Default web browser" menu and select Google Chrome. This will set Chrome as the default browser for all web links and HTML files.

Android

1. Make sure Chrome is installed. You'll need the Chrome browser installed before you can set it as the default. You can install it from the Google Play Store.
2. Open the Settings app. You'll find this on one of your Home screens or in your App Drawer. You can open the App Drawer by tapping the grid button at the bottom of your Home screen.
3. Select "Apps" or "Application manager."' This will display all of the apps installed on your Android device.
4. Find and tap your current default browser. You'll need to find the browser that is currently opening links. If it came installed on your device, you may have to switch to the "All" tab in the apps list.Most stock browsers are called "Browser" or "Internet."
5. Tap the "Clear defaults" button. You'll have to scroll down on the app's page to find it. In Android 6.0+ you'll need to tap "Open by default" first.
6. Tap a link in an email or web page. Once you've cleared the defaults, you'll need to find and tap a link to a website or online file. You can usually find one in your email, in texts from your friends, or by opening a browser and then tapping a link.
7. Select "Google Chrome" from the list of apps. You'll see all of your installed browsers in the list of available apps. Tap Google Chrome.
8. Select "Always" to make Chrome the default. Chrome will now open for all links and HTML files that you open on your Android device.

iOS

1. Jailbreak your iOS device. The only way to set a different default browser in iOS is to jailbreak the device. Jailbreaking is typically not possible if you are running the latest version of iOS. For instructions on jailbreaking various iOS devices, see Jailbreak an iPhone.
2. Open Cydia on your jailbroken iOS device. Cydia is the package manager for your jailbroken iOS device, and allows you to install a variety of tweaks and apps specifically for jailbroken devices. You'll find Cydia on one of your Home screens after jailbreaking.
3. Tap the Search option and search for "Open in Chrome." This is a tweak to the iOS device's system settings that allows you to change the default browser. It is available through Cydia's default repositories.
4. Tap the "Install" button to download and install the tweak. Your iOS device will reboot to complete the installation process.
5. Open the Settings app on your device. "Open in Chrome" will add a new option to your Settings app.
6. Ensure that "Open in Chrome" is enabled. Check that the slider is toggled on in the "Open in Chrome" section of the Settings app. This will set Chrome as the default browser.
7. Tap a link to open Chrome by default. With "Open in Chrome" enabled, any link you tap will automatically open in Chrome. This will apply to links in email messages, texts, app, websites, and any other links.

How To Get Google Chrome To Stop Asking To Save Password

how to get google chrome to stop asking to save password I need to be able to prevent the Save Password bubble from even showing up after a user logs in. Autocomplete=off is not the answer. I have not come across a post that offers a secure solution for this issue. Is there really no way to disable the password bubble in Chrome??

Solution 1

Found there is no "supported" way to do it.

What I did was copy the password content to a hidden field and remove the password inputs BEFORE submit.

Since there aren't any passwords fields on the page when the submit occurs, the browser never asks to save it.

Here's my javascript code (using jquery):

function executeAdjustment(){      
        $("#vPassword").val($("#txtPassword").val());
        $(":password").remove();      
        var myForm = document.getElementById("createServerForm");
        myForm.action = "executeCreditAdjustment.do";
        myForm.submit();
    }

Solution 2

After hours of searching, I came up with my own solution, which seems to work in Chrome and Safari (though not in Firefox or Opera, and I haven't tested IE). The trick is to surround the password field with two dummy fields.

<input type="password" class="stealthy" tabindex="-1">
<input type="password" name="user[password]" id="user_password" autocomplete="off">
<input type="password" class="stealthy" tabindex="-1">

Here's the CSS I used:

.stealthy {
  left: 0;
  margin: 0;
  max-height: 1px;
  max-width: 1px;
  opacity: 0;
  outline: none;
  overflow: hidden;
  pointer-events: none;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  z-index: -1;
}

How to Google Chrome Turn Off Autocomplete

google chrome turn off autocomplete I have been running into issues with the chrome autofill behavior on several forms.

The fields in the form all have very common and accurate names, such as "email", "name", or "password", and they also have autocomplete="off" set.

The autocomplete flag has successfully disabled the autocomplete behavior, where a dropdown of values appear as you start typing, but has not changed the values that Chrome auto-populates the fields as.

This behavior would be ok except that chrome is filling the inputs incorrectly, for example filling the phone input with an email address. Customers have complained about this, so it's verified to be happening in multiple cases, and not as some some sort of result to something that I've done locally on my machine.

The only current solution I can think of is to dynamically generate custom input names and then extract the values on the backend, but this seems like a pretty hacky way around this issue. Are there any tags or quirks that change the autofill behavior that could be used to fix this?

Solution 1

've just found that if you have a remembered username and password for a site, the current version of Chrome will autofill your username/email address into the field before any type=password field. It does not care what the field is called - just assumes the field before password is going to be your username.

Old Solution

Just use <form autocomplete="off"> and it prevents the password prefilling as well as any kind of heuristic filling of fields based on assumptions a browser may make (which are often wrong). As opposed to using <input autocomplete="off"> which seems to be pretty much ignored by the password autofill (in Chrome that is, Firefox does obey it).

Updated Solution

Chrome now ignores <form autocomplete="off">. Therefore my original workaround (which I had deleted) is now all the rage.

Simply create a couple of fields and make them hidden with "display:none". Example:

<!-- fake fields are a workaround for chrome autofill getting the wrong fields -->
<input style="display:none" type="text" name="fakeusernameremembered"/>
<input style="display:none" type="password" name="fakepasswordremembered"/>

Then put your real fields underneath.

Remember to add the comment or other people on your team will wonder what you are doing!

Update March 2016

Just tested with latest Chrome - all good. This is a fairly old answer now but I want to just mention that our team has been using it for years now on dozens of projects. It still works great despite a few comments below. There are no problems with accessibility because the fields are display:none meaning they don't get focus. As I mentioned you need to put them before your real fields.

If you are using javascript to modify your form, there is an extra trick you will need. Show the fake fields while you are manipulating the form and then hide them again a millisecond later.

Example code using jQuery (assuming you give your fake fields a class):

        $(".fake-autofill-fields").show();
        // some DOM manipulation/ajax here
        window.setTimeout(function () {
            $(".fake-autofill-fields").hide();
        },1);

Solution 2

For new Chrome versions you can just put autocomplete="new-password" in your password field and that's it. I've checked it, works fine.

Solution 3

After months and months of struggle, I have found that the solution is a lot simpler than you could imagine:

Instead of autocomplete="off" use autocomplete="false" ;)

As simple as that, and it works like a charm in Google Chrome as well!

How to Modify Headers For Google Chrome

modify headers for google chrome if you want to intercept HTTP requests with a Chrome Extension, and then forward it on, potentially with new/different HTTP headers -here is how you do that.

Solution

It was certainly not possible when OP asked the question but soon later Chrome released experimental WebRequest API. But now they have been included officially in Chrome Extension. You can use it modify request and response headers in Chrome.

Solution Example

chrome.webRequest.onBeforeSendHeaders.addListener(
  function(details) {
    for (var i = 0; i < details.requestHeaders.length; ++i) {
      if (details.requestHeaders[i].name === 'User-Agent') {
        details.requestHeaders.splice(i, 1);
        break;
      }
    }
    return { requestHeaders: details.requestHeaders };
  },
  {urls: ['<all_urls>']},
  [ 'blocking', 'requestHeaders']
);

Solution Using Extension

If you want to use Chrome Extension, you can use Requestly which allows you to modify request and response headers as you wish. Have a look at this snapshot:

You may also change or modify header info using https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/webRequest link of webRequest

To completely disable automatic Chrome updates create/edit the following registry keys/dwords under  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update:

• Dword: AutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutes Value: 0
• Dword: DisableAutoUpdateChecksCheckboxValue Value: 1
• Dword: UpdateDefault Value: 0
• Dword: Update{8A69D345-D564-463C-AFF1-A69D9E530F96} Value: 0

This last one was the money for me. Until I added it updates were enabled in chrome://chrome.

How to Make Google Chrome Hide Address Bar

google chrome hide address bar I want to increase the screen real estate for my Chrome app. The Address Bar is useless in a Chrome App and I was wondering if there was a way to disable it. yes there is way to do this here are the possible solutions of how to this.

Solution 1

You can run Chrome in application mode.

Windows:

Chrome.exe --app=https://google.com

Mac:

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --app=https://google.com

Linux:

google-chrome --app=https://google.com

This removes all toolbars, not just the address bar, but it will definitely increase your real estate without having to use Kiosk mode.

Solution 1.1

This is current as of Chrome 55.0.2883.87 m (Jan 2017). This is for Windows, not sure this works on Mac.

If you create an Application Shortcut on your Desktop, it will remove all tabs, menus, etc, and give you a completely clean view.

To do this:

• Click the menu, and go to “More Tools” → “Add to Desktop…”
• Make sure to check, “Open as window” (see screenshot)

Solution 2

you can use F11 to toggle the fullscreen view, altough it may not be the desired user experience. If you want to change tabs while in the fullscreen mode, you can press CTRL+TAB and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB.

It can also be done with a chrome extension. I'm not aware of any extensions that do this right now, mainly because google chrome does not provide any APIs that would allow developers to hide the toolbar. Despite that fact, the toolbar can be emulated, since chrome extensions can have access to opened tabs.

Solution 3

You may use extension to do this small task https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/open-as-popup/ncppfjladdkdaemaghochfikpmghbcpc
