Our company uses Macbook Pros as dev machines with external monitors.
Recently Chrome 53 started displaying the wrong colours in a PHP/Javascript web app when displayed on an external monitor.
The colour issue does not occur if Chrome is dragged to the internal MacBook Pro screen.
The colour issue does not occur in Safari, Opera or Firefox.
This is happening on 2 notebooks.
Does anyone have a hint as to the cause or potential solution?
I found a link to a problem where Chrome made the screen black on Windows 10 and thought it may be related.
The suggested solution was to disable hardware acceleration in Chrome Advanced settings.
I tried this and it worked - colours have returned to normal.
I still feel this is a Chrome defect, but at least the colours on the external monitor are distinguishable.

I have MacBook Pro M1 Max, with two monitors, one 34" as the main monitor and one 24" as the side monitor which I use vertically, after upgrading to macOS Ventura this issue started to appear! When
I tried to watch a video on my main monitor when I switched to full screen, it was showing it sideways!
I'm a software developer so I have multiple browsers, I tried on all of them, and sometimes one was rotating but not the other, but after some time, all were rotating!
I tested Youtube, Amazon Prime, HBO on browsers, and then even the Apple TV app, they all show the videos sideways in fullscreen mode!
But it was happening only on the main monitor, not the side one, not the laptop's internal screen!
Interestingly, the image was showing normal if you moved the mouse pointer on that screen, but as soon as you stopped the mouse, the video go back to the rotated state!
One thing I found out about this was that if you restart the OS, the issue goes away, but after a few times of Sleep/Awake circles, sometimes same day but definitely the next day, it'd come back, and I have to restart the laptop again and again!
SOLVED!
It was frustrating! I called Apple support, and first, they offered to restart the OS and boot in Safe Mode and see if this happens in that mode too, I tried and it was happening in Safe Mode too!
Then the next solution was to reinstall the OS, so I backed up the data as a precaution and reinstalled the macOS Ventura, and it worked the issue has gone away!
So I leave the issue and solution here for future reference.
Here is the link to Apple Support for reinstalling the OS:

I would like to ask about these images I found to be glitchy on google chrome.
I must confirm that none of these are intentional.
This started since I saw a glitchy image on my google classroom, here are some images I found to be glitchy. I don't seems to find a pattern from them.

How the google classroom image should look like (my friend's perspective)
Broken logos of chrome extensions (fullscreen)
Broken search icon
Broken pdf icon on web.whatsapp.com
It sometimes manages to fix itself though, I successfully took a screenshot of glitchy icons and the normal ones.
Search Icons, both normal and glitchy displayed at the same time
I've tried to delete images cache and even reinstalled chrome, none of them works to fix this problem.
Some information that might help narrow down the problem:
I've recently used this PC with a new SSD (I've used it for about a month now), which contains the chrome itself, and it works properly so far. I don't think this should be a problem with the disk. (please correct me if I'm wrong)
However, on the day this happens, I installed the React Devtool (I've deleted it though) (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/react-developer-tools/fmkadmapgofadopljbjfkapdkoienihi) and the Redux Devtools (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/redux-devtools/lmhkpmbekcpmknklioeibfkpmmfibljd)
Can this problem be a bug on the chrome itself, or perhaps something related with skia? Should I report this as a problem to Chrome, or is this a problem on my end?
Information about my OS and Google Chrome (I'll provide more if it is required):
OS:
Edition: Windows 10 Pro
Version: 20H2
Installed on: 1/10/2022
OS build: 19042.1526
Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4170.0
Chrome:
Version: 98.0.4758.102 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Thanks
EDIT: Fixed, I changed from using GPU 0 to GPU 1 via settings, is this a graphics card compatibility issue?
GPU 0: Intel(R) HD Graphics 530
GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M
Setting "Choose ANGLE graphics backend" (chrome flag) to "OpenGL" fixed the issue for me.
I have a strange issue whit my emulate touch functionality on Google Chrome version 49.0.2623.110 m.
I'm using laptop + monitor (both Dell) and running Windows 8.
The issue is that while Chrome is on my secondary monitor and touch screen emulation is enabled I cannot see a touch screen pointer (black circle) nor any kind of pointer, but when I move my Chrome to my main laptop display it would show. I tried disabling laptop display while using external monitor and it is the same, I cannot see the pointer. This was not a problem with previous Chrome version.
Did anyone had similar issues with this version?
Thank you
EDIT:
I've change the laptop, updated to win10 and updated Chrome to 50.0.2661.87 m version and I still have the same issue (colleague of mine has the same problem as well).
A colleague of mine "solved" the problem by enabling Windows' Mouse pointer trails at minimum length. I find it too annoying to work with the setting enable, but it does work if you really need it.

They did some changes in recent version of Dev Tools and some options are now gone. Ensure you have "Mobile" or "Desktop with touch" selected, as you can see on the screenshot.
I am working on a site where I am having a font issue. The font shows up correctly for all browsers on a PC, but, the issue is when it is viewed with Chrome on a Mac. I know how to do hacks for specific browsers, but, I am at a loss when it comes to Chrome on a Mac. How do you specify for a particular browser on a Mac. I've attached screen captures. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thank you in advanced for your time and consideration.

Every color on the web (as far as I can tell) is displayed inconsistently in Google Chrome 43.0 on a MacBook Air running OSX 10.3 with an unmodified LCD color profile. Before attempting it yourself, Watch this short YouTube video demonstrating the problem: When switching between desktops or accessing context menus, the color becomes saturated like those seen in Safari. On scroll, the colors revert to the more dull versions normally seen in Chrome.
Here's a question: does anyone know how to prevent this inconsistency?
Embedding color profiles seems to be far from enough.
The fundamental color management problems between Chrome and OSX have resolved themselves within the past six months as of Chrome 47 on OSX 10 El Capitan. Using the most recent updates, the color management inconsistencies with Chrome 43 on OSX 11 Yosemite shown in the video posted above thankfully no longer persist.
