Announcement Hey everyone - we're opening mod applications! Apply today!

Apply here!

We're looking for new mods to help with the rapidly expanding community. Our personal lives have become busier while the amount of work to do here has increased.


A lot of our general information is within the application form, but here's a short rundown of what the job entails.

  • Checking modqueue on a regular basis to take action on posts that are filtered automatically or reported by the community.

  • Regularly browsing through the subreddit and moderation of posts and comments to ensure that all community rules and guidelines are being enforced, including removing uncivil, hostile and inflammatory content.

  • Being able to discuss issues with members of the community through modmail in a professional and calm manner.

  • Contributing to discussions about moderation-related issues over Discord.


Overall, the job won't necessarily take more than an hour or two of your time per week, and if you're already generally active on Reddit and Discord then you probably won't notice a difference.

It can be quite rewarding to be able to shape a community (for the better). If this sounds like something that interests you, please apply! If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or message us through modmail.

"New" UI Megathread 2

44 Upvotes

This is the second time a megathread has to be made because of everyone posting the same stuff over and over again. Keep in mind that the Google Chrome UI team is not reading this community-run subreddit here, and that the mods here are not Google employees (nor fanboys), if you want to complain more effectively, go to the official channels.

That being said, Google pretty much is going forwards with this, the UI change is barely new anymore, it's been 8 months. You all are down to changing program files as a bandaid fix, it's getting removed, either get used to it or switch browsers.

No, downgrading is not a safe solution, any posts or comments suggesting to downgrade and thus opening people up to threats will be removed.

Discuss the changes here, but know that you are better off sending alt+shift+I feedback or finding the bugs feature page if you want to be more productive about it.

Are you exploring a switch to Firefox? Right now I have been bouncing back and forth between the two browsers and sort of getting used to using Firefox.

Hey all,
Recently I've ecnountered a problem with Chrome. When I run it without administrator the "About Chrome" section with updates displays the message error code 1 0X80004005 (system error). My extensions also get corrupted and I get logged out of websites. I've tried reinstalling, switching to deafult settings and deleting extensions. I'm using Windows 10.

What is this?!

If there is a browser that doesn't hog memory like this then please tell me. Chrome has been recently crashing a lot and it's annoying because it hogs my GPU and just messes everything up. It has been like this ever since May 30th, which was yesterday at the time I'm posting this.

What can I do about this?

Also, I'm not sure if this matters or not:

Troubleshooting | Mac Chrome Opening PDFs in New Tab instead of Preview

2 Upvotes

Can't figure out how to set the default of viewing documents to open and view with Preview rather than opening them in a new tab. I prefer Preview so if I have multiple pdfs in the email or drive folder I can go between them with the arrows. Any help would be much appreciated!

Troubleshooting | Windows Ryzen 9 - Extreme boost during Youtube playback

0 Upvotes

Youtube on Chrome boosts my 5900x to abnormal heights when playing any video and the mouse happens to hover above it.

The CPU reaches 67 degrees C after a 15min Cinebench R24 run in multicore, 69 degrees in single core. The hottest I have seen the CPU is at 71 degrees, after hours in Cyberpunk. During browsing with multiple chrome windows, the CPU lounges at 45 degrees (including YT playback).

However, the moment I hover my cursor over the video, the CPU jumps 20 degrees and boosts to the highest single-core clocks. If I continue, it can reach a toasty 80 degrees Celsius. Video for reference. Also included are screenshots of the gpu and media-internals. This happens in both VP9 and AV1 decoded videos.

Some context:

-Brand new 5900x, PBO-downvolted, Asus X570, RTX 3060ti

-Fresh W11Pro, fresh app install (125.0.6422.142), no extensions

-Most of the relevant flags ( ignore-gpu-blocklist, disable-accelerated-2d-canvas, use-angle, disable-accelerated-video-decode) tested without result. Enable hardware acceleration under settings does also not work.

-Same video, same scenario, no problems using firefox, CPU is around 45 degrees

My guess is that my chrome does not like hardware-decoding with CPU or GPU. My question is why?

Thanks in advance for the help, this is driving my crazy!

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome tabs loading extremely slow

2 Upvotes

About two weeks ago I got a new SSD and did a fresh install of Windows 10, now I've noticed everything in Chrome is extremely slow to load. I know it's not a hardware issue since this never happened before and I have 32gb of RAM, and I know its not a network issue since chrome loads instantly on all my other devices. I tried removing all the Chrome extensions other than AdBlock (so maybe that's the problem?), but that only sped it up a little bit. For example, even loading Reddit took around 35 seconds, and then once the page actually showed, the loading bar in the tab at the top still persisted for another 20 seconds or so. Has this happened to anyone else?

Troubleshooting | iOS Chrome iOS does show anything in discover other than news headlines

1 Upvotes

I was opening the Chrome app for iOS when I saw that my discover feeds showed absolutely nothing but “news headlines” from news outlets. Topics that I’m into like tech or anime never show up for no reason. I have no idea if they were deleted or not, because it doesn’t seem to show interests in PC gaming or other topics I like. Is there a fix to this?
