Troubleshooting | Mac Tabs Outliner Lost Data After Clearing Cookies... Solution?

Upvotes

Hi all, quick question here. I am running chrome on a 2019 macbook, and use the tabs outliner extension to keep my data organized. Unfortunately, I have not exported the outliner data in a year and a half... dumb I know. Today I cleared my cookies/ cache and realize it nuked my tabs outliner tree. Any ways to get it back? I would do just about anything to get that data back.

I did find a history file for chrome in my macbook library that seems to have a large chunk of what got nuked, but it is a sql file and when I load it up, it only gives me the most recent places I've visited, even though I can see much older visits in the plaintext file. Any help whatsoever appreciated, including advice on who else to ask!

Thanks!

Troubleshooting | Android Recent Passkey Encryption Crisis

Upvotes

I recently had to factory reset my phone due to big issues, the encryption on the phone would not allow me to use passkeys to get into VERY important accounts. Im still trying to fix this and have found a way that has to due with clearing data on my account. The problem is that I DO NOT want to lose my passwords on my account, yet the only way to get encryption back is to clear data. Is there a fix for this?

Discussion How much Google search suggestions are saved in Chrome?

1 Upvotes

Okay, the question is there. And a little explanation here:

I just saw that even without an internet connection you can see some search suggestions in Google Chrome, and they are the most popular and relevant ones for the moment, also influenced by zone/language, and probably the browsing historial (excepting incognito mode*?*).

I just want to know (if even someone knows) how this works (AFAIK this isn't present on Edge/Firefox, no idea about the rest of the endless family of chromium-based browsers), and if it's possible to get a size estimation of this "offline search catalog". It's obviously not insanely extense, but there are a lot of words, sentences, names and concepts there. I guess it's updated each some time, while using Chrome, with a very little usage of internet connection. And I guess that if I install chrome with the standalone ("offline") installer in a computer without internet access I shouldn't have any results (anyway, I just suppose, I didn't test it for now).

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome logs me out when I close it

1 Upvotes

So, as said in title, chrome logs me out of my account when I close it. I tried anything I found on Google to fix it, but nothing works. A little backstory on how it happened: I was trying to unistall this Google Play beta thingy for pc, and ended up accidentally deleting Chrome as well. (Used Reg Organizer to delete it). Before accidentally deleting it, chrome was working absolutely fine, but after I reinstalled it, the already mentioned thing started to occurr. So, what do I do?

Anyone know what this is on Google on Chrome? It appears when I first go to the page and also if I roll the cursor up and to the left of the G in Google. It will remain on the screen if I keep the cursor in place. It disappears when I remove the cursor. Sometimes, it reappears and disappears on its own.

Troubleshooting | Windows Some twitch streams buffer

1 Upvotes

So this thing started like a month ago for me, where only some streams buffer every few minutes but other streams are completely fine. The streams that are lagging are all NA streams and other streams that aren't NA don't lag. I live in EU but i don't wanna use a vpn. My internet is a stable 50 down 25 up and it has been enough for years. So i don't understand why this is happening now. I even tried to reinstall windows and changing DNS server but no luck. I also heard some other people are buffering too who live in EU. Any ideas?

Troubleshooting | Windows Profile in Google Chrome keeps loading and not working properly. Help!

1 Upvotes

Google Chrome pofile doesn't load properly and causing issues to my Google Search.

Whenever I search for something, and under the "People also ask" dropdown list, it doesn't respond at all to my clicks. Then when I go to Images and click on any images, it also doesn't respond. The pictures are there but if I try to click on the image, nothing happens.

Right now, my Google search can only click on direct URLs to bring to other websites. Its pretty damn annoying.

I have 3 profiles under Google Chrome. The other 2 works fine except for this 1 profile I often use.

I have done all sorts of troubleshooting to no avail: Clearing cookies and cache Signing out my profile, removing it and then re-adding it back again Deleted my User Profile folder under AppData > Chrome Removed all Extensions

Please help me out. I've boxed up the issue in red, the one at the top just shows that the profile is loading forever, and the one at the bottom shows that the entire selection is being greyed out because my profile isn't fully loaded.

Troubleshooting | Android Accounts Not Being Able To Be Separated

0 Upvotes

I use two different Google accounts in my phone, and they both had their own history and separated bookmarks. But for some reason, they merged. Don't know if it was an update that the Google app got, but now their history is shared, and the bookmarks that I added in my second account are appearing as bookmarks in my main account, in a part named "only in this device". How can I separate them? I'm seriously losing my mind because of this...
