(5.0) Incognito Pages Disappearing? - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else notice that when you have incognito pages open in the background, they disappear really quickly? Not seeing the same behavior on my n6

Shouldn't that be a good thing? You're using incognito for a reason ?

Do you have Merge Tabs and Apps enabled? I run into vanishing incognito pages on my Nexus 5 when I do.

I think they are supposed to disappear when you have tabs merged. If you turn merged tabs off then they stay.

They seem to last on the n6, disappear on the mx2

Duplicate Chrome tabs being launched from search results

If I do a search from the search bar on the homescreen, and then click on a link in the results, it always launches duplicate tabs in Chrome resulting in the same page being loaded twice simultaneously on 2 different tabs.
If I search from within Chrome in the address bar , its fine.
I can't seem to figure out why. Has anyone else experienced this issue or know of a solution ?

Noticed this as well. I rooted mine, so thought maybe that screwed it up.
I have the same issue and I haven't rooted or modded at all.

same issue here, thought it was just me
I was suffering from the same problem but member 'janedoesmith' has solved it! The solution is this:
When chrome opens up after clicking on a search result from the search bar, you need to click on the blank space surrounding the link to the website. If you click on the actual link, it'll create duplicate tabs.
Here's a link to my original question so that you can give 'janedoesmith' the appropriate thanks.

Yep, this problem annoys me as well.
I expect Google to release a patch soon.

Happening for me recently too.
Hopefully a patch will fix it.

Has anyone else noticed that you can no longer click the white space or descriptions on search results? The workaround no longer works and you can only click the title and tabs still open twice. Wtf Google?
It looks like Google has finally fixed this issue, although descriptions are still not clickable.

Chrome update 28/11

Any real change? I see everything the same.

Its super smooth for me... Bug fixes seemed to have a good improvement
I feel it smoother too and they said they will catch up with the desktop version in early next year. Yay!
It is still a slow rendering resource pig.

Still no plugin support and that's most disappointing. If they really do make a full desktop browser experience it will be welcome with open arms. As it sits now, I want nothing more than to filter the crap ads that permeate every part of the internet, without the need of a separate app that may or may not work without rooting.

Still the only Android browser that doesn't have an easy to access History option. Utterly bizarre that they hide it away and you need to enter an url to get to it.

I'd just be happy if they fixed the thumbnails on the bookmarks widget not showing up. its been like that from the beginning. How do they not notice that? Sometimes i wonder whether Google employees actually use android devices.
Although to give them their dues, page rendering seems a lot faster on the new update. really noticeable for me.
For me, the chrome update has made a world of difference in loading times. I was using opera mobile because chrome was so slow, but now chrome is flying past opera. Don't get me wrong, it's not flawless, but the loading speeds are what matter most for me.

Funny, when I want to open settings, it crashes

Weird issue for me with the new Chrome: Tried opening a website last night on it and it told me I needed to set a proxy server, then provided instructions on how to do that but only applicable to the desktop Chrome. Opened the same website via Firefox Nightly and it was fine.
Chrome update has been a lot better for me. It used to be very slow and calculated. Now I can zip around pages.

[Q] pic and link issue with tapatalk and xda

OK, so I noticed yesterday that I cannot upload any pic through the xda or tapatalk apps. I found out today that my links are not showing in the apps either. Here is 3 pics of the same post, one from tapatalk, one from xda, and the other from chrome. This is really annoying. I did have adaway installed, but removed it. I did revert back to the stock hosts file in adaway before removing it, I even reinstalled it, updated, removed it, and checked my hosts file before uninstalling it.
Anyone have any clue?
Bump......

I had the same issue. I have tapatalk pro and it was crashing adding pictures. Downloaded the free version and it works for pix.
Hmmmmmmmm. I hate this layout!!! But it seems to work. Wonder why?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I'm not sure why it works, but I found it when my pro version notified me of an update(?) to Tapatalk.
Have you tried to go back to an older version? I didn't know there was an update. Must have happened when I got the phone.

I did 2 things.... although I think It was the second that fixed it.
I froze the gallery. I use snap gallery anyway, but that choice was not coming up to upload a pic.
The second thing I did was, when you first open tapatalk, go to settings... towards the bottom, yummy will see enable editor checked. Unchecked this. Then try to upload a pic.

That I had already unchecked. I'm just using the free version for now.

That was my issue. Once I saw that and remove it, it started working for attachments only.

Weird screen thing

I just noticed that I was able to minimize a facebook window that was about a quarter of the screen. I closed it but I'm not sure how I did it. How did I do it?

Drag the from the top right towards the bottom left to make it turn the full screen app into a windowed app... Then there's a button on the top middle of the window for options to minimize, maximize, and close.

Google chrome is pissing me off

How the hell do you get chrome to not constantly reload pages when switching tabs? It's driving me nuts. It's to damn show.
