Google Chrome browser acting funny today


ZR

Question

Posted

I usually have a bookmarks bar that runs below the white search space that has my main sites I go to, like this one, the weather, google calendar etc. I usually have 7 across there but today there's only 5 with the other 2 put in another place with bookmarks. It also seems that some of the formatting of certain websites is different; like on ESPN fantasy football when you do a side by side review of your team and your opponents it now shows your team on top with the opponent below that, making the comparison much harder as you have to keep going page down, page up! Also seems like some bigger fonts on certain sites too.

1. Does anyone know if there was a recent update for Chrome?

2. Anyone have this problem before?

3. I thought I had this problem before but I forget how to fix it. I tried messing with the Chrome settings like the magnification of the page, size/styles of fonts etc. but can't get it back to how it was.  I thought about doing a Windows 7 restore to a previous date but am reluctant to do that if there's another fix, or if it's just that Chrome was updated.

Any good advice?

For better or worse, Chrome updates itself. Looks like version 53 is the latest. Make sure you aren't on a beta update channel. I've had users at work get on it somehow and it will screw with your settings. They did it in Firefox. I'm not sure if Chrome even has one. Google it. :P

ETA: I googled it, they do.

Also, have you recently signed in to or out of Chrome? Not Google, but Chrome. That would surely affect your settings.

Thanks for the reply! I'm on  Version 54.0.2840.16 beta-m (64-bit) so maybe I'll try to get off beta if that will help. Anyone else have something like this happen to them?

unfun75 got it right! I WAS on a beta update channel and now I'm back to regular.

 

Kind of feel like I lost my edge, just being regular now. I thought pretty highly of myself hanging with the real hipsters over at beta...oh well.
