Chrome not asking to save or saving passwords? – Google Product Forums

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/13

From [Archive.is] Chrome not asking to save or saving passwords? – Google Product Forums

Hemanth M said:

After a lot of playing around, I’ve arrived at an elegant solution. Here are the steps:Steps to make Google Chrome offer to save (prompt) password for a particular site (for e.g abcd.com) and Auto-login the site with the credentials thus saved.

  1. Go to the given URL ‘abcd.com
  2. Right-click Page Info and disable ‘JavaScript’
  3. Reload the page.
  4. Enter the credentials (uid,pwd)
  5. A prompt appears to save password.
  6. Click on Save password.
  7. Auto-Login Extension bubble appears on this page.

At this point it is important because the extension ‘Auto-Login’ (like many other extensions) require JavaScript to be enabled.

  1. Re-enable the JavaScript for this page and reload the page.
  2. Now Click on the ‘Auto-Login’ bubble for remembering automatically logging into the site hereafter!

In my case, this was for ESXi credentials. Do not go the cheap way or revealing them inside javascript like these guys:

Dimensions – Chrome Web Store

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/10/13

[WayBack/Archive.isDimensions – Chrome Web Store: A tool for designers to measure screen dimensions

This extension measures the dimensions from your mouse pointer up/down and left/right until it hits a border. So if you want to measure distances between elements on a website this is perfect. It doesn’t really work with images because there the colors change a lot pixel to pixel.

# Images & HTML Elements

Measure between the following elements: images, input-fields, buttons, videos, gifs, text, icons. You can measure everything you see in the browser.

# Mockups

Your designer handed you mockups as PNGs or JPEGs? Just drop them into Chrome, activate Dimensions and start measuring.

# Keyboard Shortcut

You can start and stop dimensions with the ALT + D shortcut.

# Area Boundaries

Wanna get the radius of a circle? Is text standing in your way? Press Alt to measure the dimensions of a connected area.

Chromium/Chrome on opensuse Tumbleweed ARM notes

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/07/27

Somehow Firefox is available on ARM by default, but the crash recovery isn’t that awesome.

On my list of things to try is Chrome or Chromium. These links should help me find out if this is possible at all:

google chrome – How to hide the bookmark bar? – Super User

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/07/20

So I wondered why on some tabs, the bookmark bar would never disappear:

Chrome’s default new tab page (NTP) always shows a bookmark bar, even if you turn it off for other pages. You can however install browser extensions which replace the NTP, and the replacements do not automatically get the bookmarks bar (but can with some extra programming).

So for instance Google’s Earth View extension does not show bookmarks, whereas Pinterest’s now does.

[WayBackbrowser – Clearing old browsing data in Chrome instead of newer data – Super User had a few possibilities, but eHistory disappeared from the Chrome store (apparently due to some unknown violation), so the way that works best now is to hack the History database which is a SQLite file as mentioned in

  • configure listening port
  • configure listening interface (e.g. localhost or all interfaces)
  • custom http handlers possible
  • websocket support available
  • works nice with chrome.runtime.onSuspend

Secure Shell – Chrome Web Store

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/05/25

Interesting: Secure Shell – Chrome Web Store. But does not work behind an SSH blocking firewall, seem more on that below.

Terminal emulator and SSH client.

Secure Shell is an xterm-compatible terminal emulator and stand-alone ssh client for Chrome. It uses Native-Client to connect directly to ssh servers without the need for external proxies.

Secure Shell is a Beta release and has known bugs.

Please read the FAQ, available here: http://goo.gl/3i5AJ.

You can also exchange feedback in the chromium-hterm mailing list, available here: http://goo.gl/RYHiK.

Edit 20240818: the above Googl links will die; the redirects back at the time of writing in 2014 where to:

  1. [Wayback/Archive] [chromiumos/platform/assets.git] / chromeapps / nassh / doc / faq.txt which first moved to [Wayback/Archive] hterm and Secure Shell – nassh/doc/FAQ.md and later moved to [Wayback/Archive] hterm and Secure Shell – nassh/docs/FAQ.md.
  2. [Wayback/Archive] chromium-hterm – Google Groups which now has moved to [Wayback/Archive] chromium-hterm – Google Groups.

It is based on [WayBackGitHub – chromium/hterm: MOVED: Please use the new libapps repo on chromium.googlesource.com insteadf.

With relays, you can tunnel over SSH. Two relays are on github:

How to read network requests in Chrome for new tab or popup window

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/05/20

Cool feature I discovered from [WayBackHow to read network requests in Chrome for new tab or popup window:

chrome://net-internals/#events

It will immediately show all events from all tabs including networking events.

The red bar at the top has a drop down on the right where you can stop them and perform a few other actions.

During or after capture, you can select relevant requests from the list (through checkboxes) so the right of the pane gets their info (which is a lot: not just the request/response content including all headers and cookies, but also any delegates from extensions and their results).
