Chrome breaks randomly without breakpoints with the inspector open - macos

When I have the inspector open in chrome it will "break" all over the javascript even if there are no breakpoints. On sites that I need the debugger to debug javascript this makes chrome pretty unusable.
I'm on a mac, and I have tried deleting and reinstalling chrome. Anyone have any suggestions?
Gracias everyone!

You could have had the "Pause on all exceptions" button enabled (it would be blue if enabled).
See screenshot below:
On Chrome 33.* you'll see it when viewing a script:

I eventually resolved this by uninstalling chrome, removing this directory: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/ (I'm on a mac) and reinstalling. Not sure whether the deleting chrome step is really necessary.

Safari macOS content blocker only works once

Strange problem. I'm building a safari content blocker. When I run the host app the content block extension appears in the safari extensions preference window. Everything works fine. Except, it only works the first time I run it. Subsequent times nothing happens, nothing appears in the preference window. The extension is missing. I have no idea why and my search didn't yield a solution.
I tried with Safari 12 and 13 beta. macOS 10.14.5
Tried building a new content blocker, same result.
check to make sure that Allowed Unsigned Extensions is selected under the Develop menu.
If so proceed with the below.....
Close Safari
In XCODE you need to Clean Build folder. XCODEMenuBar>Product>{click stop if clickable}>Clean Build Folder.
Now rebuild.
Open Safari>Select Allow Unsigned Extensions from develop menu.
Safari>Preferences>Extensions> now your extension should show up.

Chrome dev tools completely blank & unresponsive High Sierra

For about a week, Chrome dev tools has been completely blank every time I try to use it on my Mac (screenshot). I have reinstalled it but to no avail. Once I open dev tools, the specific tab seems to break - I have to open a new tab to be able to navigate, and none of the dev tools tabs & buttons work, so I cannot use any of the suggestions included here:
Chrome dev tools console completely blank
I am using High Sierra 10.13.2 & chrome Version 63.0.3239.132 (64-bit)
Any tips would be greatly appreciated
Download Chrome Canary and see if the problem is fixed when you run the latest Chrome code. If it's fixed, then there was just some temporary regression that's causing Chrome to break.
If the issue is still there when you run Canary, file a bug!

Chrome headless always shows its dock icon on osx

I'm using Chrome 59.0.3071.115 and Chromium 61.0.3159.0 (snapshot build) on OSX in headless mode, launching them from a terminal with these flags:
chrome --headless --disable-gpu
Everything works as expected, but a Chrome/Chromium dock icon is always displayed during their execution.
Is there a way to execute them in headless mode without having this icon always being displayed?
It looks like this is a bug.

I hope the Chromium developers will fix this soon. You can star the issue in the meantime.

Chrome not working after installation of JDK

I installed jdk-8u101-windows-x64 on my Windows 10 x64 in order to proceed with installing a Netbeans 8.1 all in one package, and after JDK was installed the system immediately restarted.
When the system rebooted, Chrome stopped working. Loading any page or even settings page now displays "Aw, Snap! Something went wrong while displaying this web page. Learn more - Reload".
Clicking Learn more or reloading does nothing. I tried disabling Defender and enabling again, didn't work.
Reinstalling, or restarting the PC multiple times didn't work.
Has anyone come across this?
Thanks.
I also have a Windows 10 x64 OS and just tried installing the JDK. It was JDK 8 Update 101 and my Google Chrome version is 53.0.2785.143. It did not force me to restart but I went ahead and restarted and when I booted back up I did not see the same issues that you were referring to.
This leads me to believe that it's something specific with your machine and nothing with the JDK or Chrome itself. It's possible that you have some chrome extension that is causing problems.
To fix the issue you're having first I would download and install the Chrome Cleanup Tool. If that doesn't fix the issue, you can try launching Chrome in 'safe-mode' like so:
Right Click, create shortcut, rename, right click go to properties and add - -incognito- with out the - in the target field on shortcut tab. Then apply and ok
Once you are able to launch Chrome in incognito mode, then you should be able to delete the extensions via the settings.
If that still doesn't work, then you will likely have to delete the user data for Chrome in your AppData and registry manually. To delete your AppData go to:
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data and delete the Default folder then relaunch Chrome.
To remove the extensions from the registry, Open regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions and delete the keys there.
Sounds like broken Java libraries...
Try uninstalling Netbeans, JDK, Chrome, in that order.
Then installing Chrome again, try it out, then JDK, try Chrome, then Netbeans, try Chrome.
Also check that you have 32bit JDK and that your preferred Java is set to 32bit since Chrome is 32bit.

xcode webview file open dialog not showing

I created an osx application in xcode that shows a webpage using a webview. But for some reason it is not showing the file open dialog in my webpages.
Safari and chrome seem to be fine so the page seems to be ok.
The only related setting for the webview i can find in xcode is "enable popups" but that's enabled. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Thanx
Wouter
