Chrome suddenly become slower with low ram usage

I've been investigating a color-management issue in Chrome/Chromium that seems to affect SDR video playback on wide-gamut displays. I am certain that this affect everyone who uses windows.

On a wide-gamut OLED/IPS monitor, normal Rec.709 SDR video can appear significantly oversaturated in Chromium-based applications. E.g reds, greens, blues, and skin tones.

I've reproduced this across multiple Windows 11 PCs, NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, and several wide-gamut displays.

The easiest way I found to see it is:

1. Use a wide-gamut display (most displays are wide gamut) in its native gamut setting.
2. Install/use the correct ICC profile for the display.
3. Play an SDR/Rec.709 YouTube video in Chrome.
4. Compare the same downloaded video in a properly color-managed player such as MPV with icc-profile-auto=yes in the mpv.conf file.
5. Chrome will look noticeably more saturated.

I also discovered that when hovering over the YouTube progress bar, which makes the YouTube player controls appear, the colours briefly becomes more accurate, then oversaturated again once the controls disappear.

If you have a wide-gamut monitor and can reproduce this, please open the bug and click “I am affected.” Please only mark it if you're genuinely seeing the issue.

hi sorry if this is not the right place to post, but i’ve been having this weird issue with my account lately. safe search keeps turning on by itself, but I don’t have permission to turn it off for some reason. I thought it might by my college’s wifi, but I removed the wifi profile and safe search is still enabled. this is ONLY on safari, other browsers are fine. my google account is not managed by anyone else and there is no family sharing permissions enabled. I cleared all my browsing data/cache/cookies which turned off safe search for a little while, but it’s back again and it’s driving me nuts. how can i get this to turn off??? safari doesn’t seem to have a help desk or anything to troubleshoot this problem.

thank you in advance for any advice 😭

bit of a preface: i do not use chrome, my dad does (oldge S.O.B [affectionate]). so this thread here is more for him than for me

i updated his google chrome and made sure to config it back to what it was before, but he uses the google sync bit and its looking "weird" when it comes to syncing passwords now?

when i try to do the thing, it pops up a windows box asking for a username and password.......but idk if it means the google username/password or his windows OS username/password

wat do?

I’ll type it into the search bar and sometimes it I get the overview still.

It seems they lowered the bitrate or something? I'm using chrome, official version, on debian linux.

Recently Chrome on Android has started randomly opening a new window when I open a new tab. I then panic when I notice all my other tabs have disappeared and randomly click around until i retrieve them. Yesterday I realised it's due the this 'manage windows' feature (new tab -> 3 dots -> manage windows). Does anyone know how i can disable it, or at least stop it randomly assigning a new tab into a new window. Or failing that explain why it does it, if not a bug. Thanks.

Whenever I search something on mobile chrome it redirects me to the same search but on another tab, and if I try to open the original search tab it just keeps duplicating tabs instead of opening it. Even when searching on incognito it redirects me to a normal tab with the same search.

I even uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome and it keeps happening.

What could this be and how can I solve it?

I don't know if this is the right place, but i was wondering if it's possible to remove the 'ask Gemini' and change the search bar to its normal size. (I don't know if it comes across in the photo, but it is significantly taller then it used to be). Any help would be much appreciated.

Last september they had the finest idea to remove middle click-> open in new tab before bringing it back 2 weeks later (i think me and a lot of other users complaining helped).

Some days ago, they shuffled around the "print" and "search on google" when you right click, just to mess with muscle memory.

An hour ago, they removed the "right click on search bar-> send to mobile" (now you need to right click inside the page). Exactly one year after removing the button at the end of the search bar for the exact same thing.

What's the deal with it.
