If you press alt-F2 and type lg Enter, you will wander behind the looking glass. There in the Windows tab, you can see wmClasses of windows and the desktop files they are associated with. Hopefully, this helps in debugging.
I've enjoyed using Chromium Edge as my main work browser, but prefer to keep using Google Chrome as my personal browser. However, I'd like to use my current Google Chrome bookmarks in Chromium Edge, but also have any new bookmarks that I add to Edge sync over to Google Chrome.
Hi @BryantB, while we would like you to feel like Microsoft Edge could be your one and only, we understand the need to use multiple browsers. Unfortunately, we don't have any control over what Chrome does in their browser with regards to sync. You can always import your Chrome bookmarks into Microsoft Edge by going to the Profiles page in the Settings menu, and selecting Import browser data. This will open a small pop-up that allows you to select what browser data you would like to import and from what profile and browser. There may be some extension that makes this unnecessary, but I am not an expert there. Maybe someone in the community has a good recommendation.
Certain Google apps and extensions that are necessary, esp if you use Android devices, won't work in Chromium Edge which makes me leave Chrome open part of the day. Would love to close that resource hog down completely.
@p37307 I have been looking for such a tool also as I have found Edge simply works better on my Surface Pro than Chrome does. Chrome is still my preferred browser from desktop but want Edge to sync up with Chrome bookmarks when I do use. I came across XBrowser Sync and while it doesn't yet support Edge, its the only one I've found that at least has on its roadmap. I've bookmarked their site and will be checking back until they do release. In the meantime I am stuck in the world of manually syncing monthly.
@BryantB there is no official support for sync bookmarks between two browsers but you can do the trick because both browser uses almost same file format for bookmark.
Step 1: you need to create a "copy_bookmark.bat" script file with this code
@Raheel605 one could also use a symlink or even an hard link. That way both edge and chrome are synced automatically, and one could also do this for extension folders. In any case this could damage something because edge and chrome could take two different ways in future. Beside that, you must have edge and chrome installed at the same time anyway. I would like to not do this. I would like to use chrome on Android and edge chromium on windows for example, without have to keep both installed to sync fav, pages, chronology, etc. But Microsoft removed from chromium the google syncing, and this regrets me on using edge. I would like to mix environments: Android+Chrome on mobile and Windows+Edge on desktop. But actually this is nearly impossible if you want keep things synced. Best option for now is to symlink the bookmarks file keeping chrome and edge installed on desktop. But i don't like to do so. I hope Microsoft could bring to us Google Sync
Agree with syncing of Edge on Android. I did read where that may be fixed. I too use Edge on desktop and Chrome on Android.
Since I use Edge on Desktop more than Chrome on Android, Edge to Chrome was the way to go.
I previously tried copying Edge Bookmarks to Chrome on Desktop but what ended up happening is the file on Chrome doubled in size and nothing from Edge Bookmarks would show. It's like it synced Google's bookmarks and ignored Chrome. I shut down all instances of Chrome in the task manger and repeated.
I tried to symlink Edge's Bookmarks to Chrome Bookmarks and it wrote the file but it never would show the differences.
@asecret900 xBrowserSync to sync between chromium types (i.e. Egde vs Chrome) and the built in browser sync (i.e. Google or MS) to sync between platforms(Windows vs Android). Despite warnings in the xBrowserSync readme that it can cause duplicate bookmark entries, it hasn't happened for me yet.
@darrynbrooking A few hiccups where it will not let me add new bookmarks at times without restarting the browser first, but still works better the Edge sync for me (it is terrible, losing changes and restoring old deletions all the time).
I am trying to open up 2 separate Chromium windows using /.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart. I am able to open both urls when adding two lines but they open in the same browser as two tabs. I would like to open them in two separate windows. Is this possible?
I have a 4k Monitor and next to it a normal sized one, so what I did was go to screen settings and go to resolution to find out the size of my HDMI-1 Screen which was the 4k one. It was 3980 x something, so I just did --window-position=4000,0 on the second one.
For me two Chromium windows worked (almost) right away without any actual tricks. I opened a Chromium-window, moved it to the secondary screen, maximized it by double-clicking the top-bar and then opened another Chromium window in the primary screen by simply clicking the web-browser icon anew. Voila, two windows.
Upgraded system earlier today. Upon reboot and starting X11, loading up my usual apps, Chromium windows did not show any borders or a title bar. I have not changed any settings. Using Icewm, with no changes to its config files. All other software has normal windows.
As an experiment, I tried 'icesh -s -n eyb borderless' and 'icesh -s -n eyb bordered' to add or remove the borders of a virtual midi keyboard I had up. This worked fine. (For unknown reasons, must have "eyb" not "vkeybd", but that's a separate issue.) Trying the same command but for chromium has no effect. Using a 'list' action instead of 'bordered' shows correctly the several Chromium windows that are up, so icesh does know what I'm talking about.
They've integrated GTK CSD (tabbar is now integrated with the window frame) with v 93 from what I can tell. Not sure whether there's an easy way to disable that or whether you need a explicit patched gtk3 to disable CSD or need a Window manager that explicitly supports this
I've tried to install it any way possible and tried to install chromium as well. Every time I install it, it shows that it's opened but I cannot see the window. I've tried reinstalling chrome, chromium and ubuntu several times without any luck.
Let try this..Go to system setting -> Select display settingCheck whether how many displays are enabled. If enabled more than onethen turn off the unused display or enable mirror option.This can solve your issue.
Also, add a DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN environment variable in the same way, and set it to 0. This tells depot_tools to use your locally installed version of Visual Studio (by default, depot_tools will try to use a google-internal version).
After running gclient open a command prompt and type where python3 and confirm that the depot_tools python3.bat comes ahead of any copies of python3.exe. Failing to ensure this can lead to overbuilding when using gn - see crbug.com/611087.
Create a chromium directory for the checkout and change to it. You can call this whatever you like and put it wherever you like, as long as the full path has no spaces. However there are some performance benefits for Googlers in placing the directory under C:\src\ (See Why is my build slow?).
Expect the command to take over an hour on even a fast connection, and many hours on slower ones. You should configure your PC so that it doesn't sleep or hibernate during the fetch or else errors may occur. If errors occur while fetching sub-repos then you can start over, or you may be able to correct them by going to the chromium/src directory and running this command:
Chromium uses Ninja as its main build tool along with a tool called GN to generate .ninja files. You can create any number of build directories with different configurations. To create a build directory:
There are some gn flags that can improve build speeds. You can specify these in the editor that appears when you create your output directory (gn args out\Default) or on the gn gen command line (gn gen out\Default --args="is_component_build = true is_debug = true"). Some helpful settings to consider using include:
In order to speed up linking you can set symbol_level = 1 or symbol_level = 0 - these options reduce the work the compiler and linker have to do. With symbol_level = 1 the compiler emits file name and line number information so you can still do source-level debugging but there will be no local variable or type information. With symbol_level = 0 there is no source-level debugging but call stacks still have function names. Changing symbol_level requires recompiling everything.
Many things can make builds slow, with Windows Defender slowing process startups being a frequent culprit. Have you ensured that the entire Chromium src directory is excluded from antivirus scanning (on Google machines this means putting it in a src directory in the root of a drive)? Have you tried the different settings listed above, including different link settings and -j values? Have you asked on the chromium-dev mailing list to see if your build is slower than expected for your machine's specifications?
The next step is to gather some data. If you set the NINJA_SUMMARIZE_BUILD environment variable to 1 then autoninja will do three things. First, it will set the NINJA_STATUS environment variable so that ninja will print additional information while building Chrome. It will show how many build processes are running at any given time, how many build steps have completed, how many build steps have completed per second, and how long the build has been running, as shown here:
In addition, setting NINJA_SUMMARIZE_BUILD=1 tells autoninja to print a build performance summary when the build completes, showing the slowest build steps and slowest build-step types, as shown here:
Tests are split into multiple test targets based on their type and where they exist in the directory structure. To see what target a given unit test or browser test file corresponds to, the following command can be used:
