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.
- Go to the given URL ‘abcd.com‘
- Right-click Page Info and disable ‘JavaScript’
- Reload the page.
- Enter the credentials (uid,pwd)
- A prompt appears to save password.
- Click on Save password.
- 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.
- Re-enable the JavaScript for this page and reload the page.
- 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:

[WayBack/Archive.is] Dimensions – 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.

For my link archive: [WayBack] browser – How to connect a website has only IPv6 address without domain name? – Super User (thanks haimg):
According to RFC2732, literal IPv6 addresses should be put inside square brackets in URLs, e.g. like this:
http://[1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A]/index.html
If you also need to specify a port other then 80 to access the server it has to be placed after the closing bracket:
http://[1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A]:8888/index.html
Of course, you have to have end-to-end IPv6 connectivity to that host. E.g. if the server is not inside your own local network, you need to have IPv6 connectivity, either via your ISP (rare), or via some kind of IPv6 in IPv4 encapsulation (tunnel).

Cool feature I discovered from [WayBack] How 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).

If you have Chrome 78 before version 78.0.3904.108, there is a high chance you cannot access (some of) your saved passwords.
This has been fixed in 78.0.3904.108: [WayBack] Chrome 78 update has removed all saved passwords for over 50 users – Google Chrome Enterprise Help
Google is aware of an issue causing saved passwords not to appear after upgrading to Chrome 78. Even though the passwords are not showing up in the UI, they haven’t been lost or deleted.
…
The fix is included in version 78.0.3904.108 which is now pushing at 25% for Mac/Win/Android and 100% for Linux (and will ramp over the next few days based on the field issues and feedback).

By default, Chrome uses the same proxy server as Internet Explorer: the system one that your Chrome settings page accesses from chrome://settings/search#proxy through this command-line call:
"C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe" C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL C:\Windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl,,4
There is no GUI way inside Chrome to change this, but there is a command-line parameter: --proxy-server="ipaddress:port"
So create a new shortcut to Chrome, then you can change it.
This comes in very handy if you want to test
- some sessions through for instance Internet Explorer going through HTTP Fiddler (that defaults at localhost:8888)
- other sessions through Cntlm (that defaults to localhost:3128)
Some background information:

If you find out bookmarklets like the [WayBack] Press-This or [Archive.is] SubToMe do not work on some pages but to on others.
Often it’s not the bookmarklet, but a combination the site disabling CSP (Content Security Policy) and browsers not coping well with that, see for instance:

I live in a street that has a non-ASCII character in it: Pyreneeën.
I’ve reverted back to entering the street name as plain ASCII for a simple reason:
Too often the ë gets mangled into encoding gibberish, similar to the é example in [WayBack] When Good Characters Go Bad: A Guide to Diagnosing Character Display Problems as these characters are very near both in UTF-8 and in the [WayBack] Unicode Characters in the Latin-1 Supplement Block:
I’ve seen these encodings, where only the top encoding is correct; the degeneration gets worse moving downwards, a classic Mojibake:
| # |
encoded |
UTF-8 (hex.) |
| 0 |
ë |
0xC3 0xAB |
| 1 |
ë |
0xC3 0x83 0xC2 0xAB |
| 2 |
ë |
0xC3 0x83 0xC2 0x83 0xC3 0x82 0xC2 0xAB |
| 3 |
ÃÂë |
0xC3 0x83 0xC2 0x83 0xC3 0x82 0xC2 0x83 0xC3 0x83 0xC2 0x82 0xC3 0x82 0xC2 0xAB |
| 4 |
ÃÂÃÂÃÂë |
0xC3 0x83 0xC2 0x83 0xC3 0x82 0xC2 0x83 0xC3 0x83 0xC2 0x82 0xC3 0x82 0xC2 0x83 0xC3 0x83 0xC2 0x83 0xC3 0x82 0xC2 0x82 0xC3 0x83 0xC2 0x82 0xC3 0x82 0xC2 0xAB |

ë |
0x26 0x65 0x75 0x6d 0x6c 0x3b |
The last one seldomly happens, the first one relatively often, just like [Archive.is] fd.nl did a while on their finanancial pages.
These mistakes become sort of understandable (but not forgivable) when you look at the below table-fragment (the full table is at[WayBack] Unicode/UTF-8-character table – starting from code position 0080).

The Wiert Corner - irregular stream of stuff
