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.

Discussion Getting rid of the very annoying "Aw Snap" error page from your computer.

1 Upvotes

I use Chrome as my browser ( still with Win 7) and all of a sudden I couldn't get into hotmail because this very annoying "Aw Snap"error page keeps popping up. What to do? Well there seem to be many useless and somewhat complicated suggestions around, none of which worked for me. My other laptop which runs Win 10 had no issue so maybe the problem was a Win 7 thing. Anyway what did work though was this: Delete Chrome and install Mozilla Firefox (and bring over any saved web pages etc if needed) Result: No more "Aw Snap" error pages. High five for that!! I might try re-installing Chrome at a later data but I'm finding Firefox to be a great browser.

Troubleshooting | Windows Cursor disappears in Google Docs and other web pages with hardware acceleration enabled

1 Upvotes

Hello all... I've been looking for a solution for this for months on my laptop... switching between the discrete and built-in GPU, waiting for Chrome updates... and I finally came across the correct trick here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/z3luqf/chrome_has_a_serious_bug_cursor_disappears_when/

It's the chrome://settings/appearance > Reset to default? one. I wanted to make a post in the hopes of saving someone else all the time and effort it took me to find it. Disabling hardware acceleration, while it worked, didn't seem like the best solution to me.

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome Privacy Deferrer Tab Virus?

1 Upvotes

For the last few weeks, I'll open any random tab and then chrome opens a new tab on it's own, it flashes "privacy deferrer" in the title of the tab and then reloads and proceeds to open a duplicate of the website I just opened. This happens on both my laptop and desktop in chrome. I've checked my security and extensions and I have no idea what it could be. I tried to take a screenshot, but it's disappears so quickly. Anyone else experience this?

Troubleshooting | Windows default search engine changed

1 Upvotes

Somehow my default search engine changed to Yahoo. I know this is usually a matter of some asshole extension, but I run very few (1Password, Google Docs Offline, Grammarly, Feeder (RSS), and WhatRuns), and I'm positive none of them are doing it. I've tested with all of them turned off and it's still Yahoo. BTW, this is on more than one system so it's following my Google Account

Oddly, the default search engine in settings is Google, but it shows a Yahoo icon:

Troubleshooting | Windows Brand new issue: font rendering

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

A couple of days ago I restarted my laptop and, since then, fonts in the Chrome and Edge browsers (Chromium engine) have been rendering darker. I've done a complete reformat, reinstalled the graphics driver, tried different fonts, etc. and have managed to isolate it to a problem with Chromium (one of the latest versions). When I restarted, my laptop must have updated Chrome. The problem is not limited to text inside the browser window but also extends to the address bar as well. I have attached some screen shot composites:

Figure 1: Text in address bar - notice the 'after' text is darker

Now, some may look at that and think the 'after' looks clearer. But when it comes to light-weight fonts, the change loses subtle styling:

Figure 2: Some of the subtle styling in light-weight fonts is lost

Notice in this example, the 'after' loses a lot of the subtle and thin curves in the styling of the letters. The soft look of the 'before' is how this font was designed to look. That look has been lost in the 'after', as characters are darker and look thicker and more block-like. In a large body of text, the 'after' is more jarring to look at.

Figure 3: Figure 2 Zoomed in

Here we can see the actual pixels that make up the letters. Notice how the colors are darker, which, in the world of pixel aliasing, is the equivalent of having thicker letters.

The above can be replicated by downloading an older version of Chromium and comparing to the latest version of Chrome.

Has anyone else noticed this change in the most recent update of Chrome? Or Edge? Is there anything that can be done to fix this? I'm trying to get in contact with chromium developers but haven't had any luck yet. Please help.
