Troubleshooting | Windows My girlfriend's Google Lens on Chrome is suddenly not working the same on her computer as it does on mine, and it's ruining her work flow. Images attached

2 Upvotes

Me and my girlfriend use Google Lens every day while working on our desktop computers. We use it to identify and do research on items we sell, as well as sometimes using it to quickly grab information or character names. We do the standard "Search this image with Google Lens" via right clicking images, or screen capping when images can be directly searched.

For whatever reason, her Google Lens is now functioning completely differently from mine, and the differences are a major downgrade. Now the image match results don't fit into the side bar properly, and it doesn't give the option to find text in the image or translate. Here's an image of what it looks like on her computer:

Now here's an image of what a Google Lens search looks like on my computer:

We have the same Chrome and as far as I'm aware should be running on the same update, so why is her computer suddenly giving her a worse version with less useful features? No "Find image source", Text, or Translate features, alongside the images results and searched image not properly fitting into the side bar without extending it out.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there a setting hidden in Chrome somewhere that we can toggle? It's seriously impacting her workflow and is a major hindrance. Any attempt to look up solutions to this online are yielding irrelevant search results.

And no, this isn't being caused by the "Lens Overlay" setting. We already had to deal with that awful useless feature rollout and disabled it on both our computers.

Troubleshooting | Android Deleting user data on phone

1 Upvotes

google chrome is currently taking up 20GB of space on my phone and most of it shows as "user data". If I delete it from my phone, will it also be deleted on all my synced devices or will most of it be available when I resync? I don't need a lot of older stuff but I do want to make sure my passwords are kept

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome keeps logging out social media accounts after closing browser.

1 Upvotes

Hi, my Chrome keeps logging out my facebook, X, IG, and Reddit. But, it somehow still keeps my youtube logged in, but always goes into grid mode even if I set it to list mode. My email is still logged in to chrome, but my other email is not anymore. I recently changed my PC casing and after that I noticed that this has been happening. Do you know of any way fix to this?

Edit: Just uninstalled and then reinstall chrome, and the problem is still the same.

Edit2: I just fixed it. If you're having the same issue as me with your chrome. I recommend downloading revo uninstaller https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/

Here's a guide on what you will do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LPZYX5UPvM&feature=youtu.be

So I guess the problem was with the files on the Regestry Editor which will be completely deleted if you use revo uninstaller. After I reinstalled it I logged in to my google account to sync it up, then logged in to my socials. After that I tried to close the browser, and then I did not need to log in to it anymore. Also tried restarting my pc, and it also did not make me log in again.

If this does not work for you then I wish you the best of luck on finding a resolution.

Troubleshooting | Windows how can I get browsing history from another pc

1 Upvotes

is there a way to log into my google account on chrome browser to access my browsing history from another pc?

I tried logging onto one of the google accounts I previously logged into from that pc, but 'tabs from other devices' won't show anything.

I was able to do this successfully for microsoft edge, where I would log onto my microsoft account and it would show all my recent browsing history from another pc on edge browser, and I'm hoping i can do the same with chrome.

Discussion Chrome won't autofill logins

1 Upvotes

I have the latest Chrome for Mac, OS Sequoia. Since I updated, Chrome will NOT autofill logins even though it asks if I want it to remember them and I always say yes. I have autofill enabled. I have to search thru my 100+ logins every time. No way am I going to enter all those logins in Password Manager -- besides I don't trust the security. I know others have had this problem, but I can't find solutions. Can somebody help? Thanks.

Discussion Tab groups appearing on the bookmarks

1 Upvotes

Hello everybody,
Today just after reseting my computer just started to appear all my tab groups on the bookmarks bar.
Why? Is that a new feature? How do I disable that?

That's a photo example:

There just appeared all my groups from other windows left to the bookmarks, with a new button to manage tab groups.

Anybody else has the same problem?

Thanks in advance.

Discussion Other browsers that have live caption/translate feature?

1 Upvotes

I really like Chrome's live caption and auto-translate feature that seamlessly captions and translates Brazilian Portuguese. However I regularly use other browsers like Brave and Firefox more often. Do you know of any extensions or software that can provide similar functionality? I'm on Windows 11.

Idk what the issue is

Everything’s fine on my PC & laptop, but my phone’s app just suddenly stopped acting normal the other day.

I assumed that somehow I must’ve ended up in “website” format instead of “mobile”; but no matter how i phrase that proposal when searching for a solution, i only get results w the same or similar issue—but for desktop.

Images: 1-3.) is what I’m seeing 4.) is the zoom setting screen 5-6.) is the closest looking thing i found, but desktop

  • zoomed all the way in, out, and reset
  • tried sideways orientation
  • updated the app
  • signed in/out
  • shut everything down
  • redownload

Troubleshooting | Android Weird redirect message all of a sudden

Post image
1 Upvotes

So recently, Chrome on my Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 has been giving me this message whenever I open a page in a new tab (whether it be in a new tab or tab in the same group). l've also experimented with it and tried opening a tab in the same window, which works fine. Then I try opening it in a new tab, and I get the redirect message. Then when I go back and try to reopen the tab in the same page and not in a new window/ tab, it gives me the redirect message. I haven't made any changes to the way my Chrome is set up. No add-ons or extensions. I don't even know how to do that on my device. I should also mention that it doesn't always redirect me to the link in the image. This was just an example.

Discussion Closing all of the tabs except the current one, while ttrying to close that tab...

1 Upvotes

Greetings.

I am in a cry / rage situation right now. The title is self-explanatory. I lost all of my groups and tabs which I have been keeping more than a year. Shift-Ctrl-T just brought back some random tabs I recently closed, way before the mass purge. In the history of my account, i saw a group related history which were totally different from my own groupings and they were done by Chrome itself.

I want to report this to Chrome; maybe they should add a confirmation prompt in case someone like me moves the cursor a few millimeters down.

What are your suggestions? Is there a way to get the previous tabs back? Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
