@CCWTech said in How to get Chrome to remember which monitors to open on:

I gotta go back to Ubuntu I suppose... I just wish there were better games for it...

I use Ubuntu as well, and never had an issue playing any and all Windows games on it. Some may not have behaved or performed as well as on Windows, but if you're that bad with Windows it's likely not going to be a show stopper for you.

@scottalanmiller said in Windows Server 2022 and Suspect Edge Instability:

Tested the fix of changing nesting to disable. So far, so good. But it'll take time to know.

Another day, no crashes. So far this fix is working and is really easy.

Any ideas?

Also, update windows and Chrome.

Did windows updates this morning and chrome is up to date..

You just want to make sure Windows and Chrome have the latest CA root certs in their stores... that's why he's recommending doing that.

@Dashrender said in Lastpass missing from Chrome this morning:

I've had nearly a dozen users contact me this morning telling me that Lastpass was missing from Chrome this morning.

The latest version of Chrome is 78.0.3904.97 and was released Nov 6, 2019, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't an update that took it out.

Anyone else see this? Never any issues.

Is why I use "Edgeium"

I like Chredge better 😛

I wouldn't expect things to ultimately be different between Edge (chromium based) and G-Chrome because the base is the same. MS can't afford to deviate that much from the base, otherwise they end up with issues.

Haha, Chredge wins!

Well, it's different enough that all mine keep working consistently. We don't know what they are changing, or at least I don't. We could assume as such, but look at how different all the Linux distros are even though they share the same base (kernel).

yeah - who knows. Plus MS is always going to be lagging behind Chrome in releases, so what issue might hit Chrome, might not hit Chredge for a week or two.

Chrome != Chromium either

Chrome is based on Chromium.
Credge is based on Chromium.

Best way to run Chrome on 2016 RDS.

Use this as a reference.

Use enterprise edition and configure admx with GPO

Set
Disk Cache Directory
Roaming Profiles Directory
User Data Directory
Setting up Legacy Browsers and Plugin
Turning off Hardware accel and other settings for performance.

Just read that 💫 and configure what policies you need. Took me a day to set up but works smooth.

Circling back to GPP. Thanks to @FiyaFly , who was able to help me out with the syntax for the fields. Do not use quotes in the target or start in paths.
Target Path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

Arguments:

--incognito --proxy-server=squid1.domain.com:3128 --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Squid1\User Data"

Start in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\

I also used the create option and desktop (standard, not all users desktop).

The engine may end up being an "Enterprise Mode" like IE I think?

Edge as a browser works well but with a few show stoppers that killed any further usage for us:
1: Downloads mysteriously won't start or just plain stop for no reason.
2: Edge ate my favourites way too many times.

The containerized Edge, Application Guard I think(?), is a great idea. If Edge was as good as they had hoped it would provide a fantastic sandbox experience to protect users from drive-by attacks and bad GET commands from e-mail clients.

At least we are not getting stuck with the legacy ActiveX that keeps rearing its head every once in a while because of IE. 😛

I’ve only witnessed that with Firefox on Gnome3 Wayland and xorg.

So chrome is finally starting to catch up with the level of ad blocking I've had for years.

I'm awaiting the user testing the hardware acceleration disablement.

Google Management Console

Are you referring to https://chrome.google.com/remotedesktop
?

No, that's just a desktop remoting system. We're talking about a management platform. More like MDM. Not remote assistance.

I got an old junker laptop I was going to play with CloudReady on:

But I'm thinking instead I'll come to the dark side and try Fedora 27 on it

@irj said in Google Introduces Chrome Enterprise:

I shared this with my team. I think this may be a Windows killer, but everyone else is skeptical. What do you guys think?

The Windows killer is "customers with a clue" and "the capability to move to modern software". Put those together, nearly everyone can drop Windows. Not everyone, but most everyone.

As long as this works similar to how access to things on the iPhone work, I'm OK with this.

About time that this was done. Too many people confused by that.

I use chrome all day everyday. Problem is yours.

I wonder if it's the Win10 build and subsequent Win 10AU.

Possible but I suspect that Jared is on Win 10.

Windows 10 with AU even.

@scottalanmiller -- I heard it was bad, but that was a while ago. I'll give it a go tonight or something and see what smokes.

THey have instructions for Ubuntu 12.04... and nothing else.

@Danp said in When did the unread counter poof?:

@Dashrender Actually, the problem was found earlier than that. This blog post is from last Thursday.

OK looks like the actual incident took place on Feb 17, definitely not the understanding I got from listening to Security Now. They keep saying "Last Friday" as in Feb 24.

Thanks for the correction Dan.

So it looks like it was fixed for a short while after the incident.
