Google Chrome Dev Tools inspect element styles not showing
Please Help.

In my case, this was the only solution on Mac OS X:
Quit Chrome then delete /Applications/Google Chrome.app.
Delete these folders:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome
~/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/Default
Re-install Google Chrome

VS Code, open in default browser not working?

I'm having problems launching an html file into the chrome browser, usually I do this in VS Code by tapping Cmd+1 key, or by clicking the "go live" button, or also right-click on the html.index file then click "open in default browser".
I've rechecked my settings in VS Code, my default browser is set to Chrome. Have relaunched VS Code and even restarted my computer but still can't figure out what the issue is since no error messages are being displayed.
Then I tried downloading a plug-in "open in browser" and it also doesn't launch to chrome, however if I select to launch it with Firefox it works.
Not sure if this helps, but I just upgraded my macOS to Big Sur a couple days ago.
Has anyone encountered the same issue?
Thanks in advance!

JetBrains IDE Support Extension - How to disable Chrome Warnings?

Hey there I've been using the JetBrains IDE support extension for a week now, and While it is great utility. I grow tired of clicking the "X' in the Chrome Yellow Warning ("JetBrains IDE Support" is debugging this tab.)
This may be a noobish question for experienced devs, but does anyone knows how to get rid of this Chrome pop-ups?
Thanks :)
Here is a snapshot:
You can disable this warning in chrome://flags using the Enable Silent Debugging flag:
It's mentioned in the comment #28.
Here is the direct link to the option:
chrome://flags/#silent-debugger-extension-api Just paste this to your Chrome addressbar.
For the ones who didn't understand ( like me :P )
You need to open this address chrome://flags in Google-Chrome and Enable Silent Debugging
While the relevant flag has been removed from chrome://flags, you can still use the command line switch:
chrome --silent-debugger-extension-api
which can be persisted in your flags config (eg. ~/.config/chrome-flags.conf on linux).
See Enable Silent Debugging is not available in Chrome browser
For the newer versions of the Chrome this flag is not available anymore.
So Here is the solution
Open settings in your IDE then head into Tools>Web Browsers
then click on Chrome and hit the pencil icon and
write this in "command line options" finaly hit ok
--silent-debugger-extension-api
now close your chrome if it is open then try to launch it again using debug or run...

When launching google apps from command line , don't want to open google chrome browser

When I launch google apps[which is developed by myself] from command line, for example:
chrome.exe --load-and-launch-app="C:\Users\KyawKhaing\Desktop\chrome\Chrome App\Example2"
After I run this, I see Google Chrome Browser open first follow by my google chrome apps launch. I don't want to open google chrome browser when I launch a chrome app. Any one know the solution. Is it possible?
Use the --silent-launch argument.
chrome.exe --silent-launch --load-and-launch-app="C:\Users\KyawKhaing\Desktop\chrome\Chrome App\Example2"
As I was running automation scripts in java, i did notice that chrome did not open using command prompt.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe \"http:\\www.google.com\"");
From Windows 7, I fixed the problem with the following steps:
Go to the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application
Right-click on chrome.exe
Select Properties
Select the Compatibility TAB
Click on the "Change settings for all users" button
Make sure to put a Check Mark on "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and
Select "Windows 7" from the drop down list.
Enjoy!
I don't think you can do it currently. It is a reasonable feature request! You can make feature requests at http://crbug.com/new
There is a bug already logged for this, see http://crbug.com/175381.
We are working on making app background pages keep the browser process alive; once this is done we can fix this bug. The problem currently is due to the way the process is kept alive - if we don't show the browser window the process exits between loading the app and the app opening a window.
I don't think you can do that. The browser is the environment of the app. Its like trying to run a windows app, without running windows. The app depends on the browser. You can't open the app without opening the browser first. Sorry. Hope this helps.

How can I set Chrome as default external browser in Eclipse for Mac?

I think that question is self-explained :-)
When I browse to Application eclipse send me an error.
The simplest way to get Eclipse to recognize Chrome as the default system browser is :
Open Safari.
Go to menu Safari > Preferences > General.
Change 'Default web browser' to Safari.
Close the Preferences dialog.
Re-open the Preferences dialog.
Change 'Default web browser' to Chrome.
Close the Preferences dialog.
This solution is more general as it applies to any application which chooses the incorrect system browser. (thanks to Kelvin Lawrence at IBM)
I am using Eclipse 4.2.0 on an iMac with OSX Mountain Lion. This also works for Eclipse Kepler on Mountain Lion.
I posted the answer on another question like this on stackoverflow, so here it goes:
I found the solution in a blog's post that doesn't exist anymore, it involves configuring the Location to be '/usr/bin/open' and the parameter is '%URL%'.
You need to make sure that google chrome is your default browser and it will work properly. This is the only method that worked for me on OSX Lion.
I solved this by calling /usr/bin/open -a "/Applications/Google Chrome.app" <url>
rubdottocom almost got it. The problem is, that the path contains spaces. If you write a new shell script with the following content:
'/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome' $1
Eclipse can launch a new Chrome instance with it. Sadly, this way it is not possible to open a new tab in an already running instance, as the script exits with the following error message:
[21043:2307:292361872340725:ERROR:process_singleton_mac.cc(102)]
Unable to obtain profile lock.
Ooops! I find the answer here: Is there a way to add Google Chrome as an external web browser in Flash Builder Standalone for Mac?
The exact location is:
/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome
It's annoying that you can't enter inside to an "Application folder" (AppName.app) through Finder :-S
Oh Wait! It's not working >_< Safari is opened
you can also try to fix that from eclipse at the menu bar: windows->preferences->general->web browser-> select the radio, Use external web browser and choose your default browser from there. that simple.
Here's a helpful visual showing the /usr/bin/open techinque:
In Finder, right click on Google Chrome.app, select Show Package Contents and browse down to Contents/Mac OS and drag Google Chrome to the Location in Eclipse's Edit External Web Browser dialog box. Enter -url %URL% in the field Parameters. This worked for me on Eclipse Indigo on MacOS 10.7, at least when Chrome was not started before...
My method to set Chrome as a default browser in eclipse is:
Go to Window >> Web browser and then select Chrome.

Is there a way to add Google Chrome as an external web browser in Flash Builder Standalone for Mac?

It currently seems impossible to add Google Chrome as an external web browser in Flash Builder Standalone for Mac. In this context, Eclipse only cares about "Unix executables" and not .app files.
For example, the path to Firefox on a Mac is: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin
which is only found by right-clicking and choosing 'Show Package Contents' on Firefox.app in your Applications directory.
If you try to add Google Chrome as a new external web browser, you'll have to repeat this process to navigate to /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS where the 'Google Chrome' Unix exxecutable resides.
The problem is that space in the name. If you attempt to click OK in Eclipse, you'll get an error preventing you from continuing:
The location value is not a valid path
name
Are there any workarounds for this so I can use Chrome as my development browser only? I did some searching and all I could come up with was this:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=297273
UPDATE: A kind and savvy Flash Builder engineer gave me a helpful tip. Note that you'll need to show hidden files in Mac, by opening Terminal and entering the following command:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
Press Return to relaunch Finder. Once hidden files are shown, "You’ll find what you need in [YOUR WORKSPACE]/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.ui.browser.prefs.
There’s a 'browsers' property there that defines XML for defining Eclipse’s web browsers. Add a new browser location and name and restart Flash Builder."
In this case you'd add:
<external location\="/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome" name\="Google Chrome"/>\n
I can confirm that this works. Hopefully we won't have to resort to this kind of hackery on the next go around.
You can do this from the UI in FB 4.5 - However, you need this exact path (unquoted and unescaped) in Preferences->Web Browser. Select "Use External Browser" and add the line below as the location (You may not need the 'name\="Google Chrome" bit, but looks like it worked all in one line for me):
/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome" name\="Google Chrome
You could create an executable here: /usr/local/bin/chrome with these contents:
#!/bin/sh
open -a 'Google Chrome' $1 &
And then ensure Chrome's Preferences settings for "Web Browser" are this for external web browser "Google Chrome":
Name: Google Chrome
Location: /usr/local/bin/chrome
Parameters: %URL%
Update
As of Eclipse 4.3.1, the script approach (below) no longer works, but the simpler option of simply selecting "Google Chrome.app" as an external browser (using Eclipse UI) is fixed.
Old (obsolete) answer
My workaround was to create a shell script that opens Chrome (see below), and point Eclipse to this script. In this way Chrome is opened with 2 tabs - the home page and the requested page - but this was good enough for me.
#! /bin/sh
open /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app $*
You need the path to the Unix Executable file of Google Chrome.
How to:
in Finder, right click Google Chrome.app "Show Package Content".
Navigate down to Content/MacOS
cmd + i and copy the path to the Unix Executable File
In Eclipse Preferences Web Browser / Location, "brows.."
Paste in the path to the Unix Executable.
The path, something like: /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS
Location: /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome
Parameters: -sandbox
The simplest way to get Flash Builder Standalone for Mac to recognize Chrome as the default system browser is
Open Safari
Go to menu Safari > Preference > General
Change 'Default web browser' : Safari
Change 'Default web browser' : Chrome
Close Safari
This solution is more general as it applies to any application which chooses the incorrect system browser. (thanks to Kelvin Lawrence at IBM)
For me worked with the following configuration:
Location: /usr/bin/open
Parameters: -a "Google Chrome.app" %URL%

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS
escape the space in the path to the google chrome executable. OS X only cares about unix executables, because its posix based as well, it doesn't actually have much to do with eclipse.
