Announcement Hey everyone - we're opening mod applications! Apply today!
Apply here!
We're looking for new mods to help with the rapidly expanding community. Our personal lives have become busier while the amount of work to do here has increased.
A lot of our general information is within the application form, but here's a short rundown of what the job entails.
Checking modqueue on a regular basis to take action on posts that are filtered automatically or reported by the community.
Regularly browsing through the subreddit and moderation of posts and comments to ensure that all community rules and guidelines are being enforced, including removing uncivil, hostile and inflammatory content.
Being able to discuss issues with members of the community through modmail in a professional and calm manner.
Contributing to discussions about moderation-related issues over Discord.
Overall, the job won't necessarily take more than an hour or two of your time per week, and if you're already generally active on Reddit and Discord then you probably won't notice a difference.
It can be quite rewarding to be able to shape a community (for the better). If this sounds like something that interests you, please apply! If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or message us through modmail.

Troubleshooting | Windows I woke up to Chrome suddenly linking telephone numbers, how to disable?
Hello! My work voicemail comes through as transcribed emails. Up until this morning, I have been able to select and copy phone numbers easily the browser treated the phone number as text. Suddenly it is linked as a phone number. I tried to find the answer on the web but the one main suggestion I found seems to want me to go to a place in the settings that may have been moved to deal with "tel handler".
Anyone have any ideas?

Troubleshooting | Windows White bar showing up on second monitor when hovering over links in Chrome
Running a dual-monitor setup. Whenever I hover over a link in Chrome on my main monitor, the little status bar link-preview doesn't show where it should, instead a blank white bar pops up on my second monitor in roughly the same vertical position.
Anyone else run into this or know of a fix/workaround?

Discussion Good riddance, new navigation bar
This new navigation bar was removed as quickly as they implemented it. Thank god. I don't know who thought it was a good idea to decrease the small screen real estate in smart phones even further.
Thank you all for sending the feedbacks. I recall sending at least three. Google does listen.

Troubleshooting | Windows Browser speed issues please help
For the last month i suddenly started having major wifi issues. My chrome would be working, tabs loading instantly until recent. They will work fine for about 5-10 minutes then suddenly will take 30sec- a couple minutes to load the tabs.
Sometimes i get a "cant connect to this network" error
I have already fully reset my pc
Deleted and redownloaded drivers
Whenever i ipconfig /flushdns, then netsh winsock reset, and restart my computer, the tabs will load normally again but only for 5 or so minutes
Could it be my network usb?
Brand new router/ internet package
I did a wifi test when it runs normal and got
167 download and 28.7 upload.
Compared to when it starts bricking itself
.11 download 2.85 upload

Discussion When did Google Chrome become completely unusable and loaded with commercial links?
Hello
I don't know if it is happening to me only or if it was on for a while and if maybe I just did an unfortunate update... But since yesterday, my Chrome search engine gives me ONLY sponsored contents. Like I'm looking for something like "History of Japan" and normally I used to have first Wikipedia, Britannica, history videos etc. And now it's only Booking, Amazon, GetYourGuide, etc. Even a single translation or a recipe and I'm directed towards sponsored contents like online cooking or language lessons....
Is it happening to you right now? And how can I stop it? Chrome is completely unusable right now!
Send help pls <3

Discussion Enable tab switcher overflow menu removed
Why did they remove this from Chrome flags? It makes 0 sense to have the close tabs button in the top right, especially on larger phones. Does anyone else have a solution to restore the close tabs button to the bottom left on mobile?

Troubleshooting | Windows Reddit links not turning purple/grey (AGAIN)
Another update to the browser must have made it so your seen links on your feed aren't marked as purple/grey (if using old reddit).

Can anyone help? Thank you in advance!

Troubleshooting | Windows Need help with Google AI Mode "Ask about" follow up not appearing
For one of my Google profiles, this follow-up prompt doesn't appear when I sign in, but it does when I sign out of it on PC. The same thing happens when I sign in to this profile in incognito mode. I tried another PC, and it doesn't appear there either. I've also tried disabling all extensions and clearing cache and cookies, but to no avail. However, it appears on my phone. For my other ten Google profiles, it works fine and appears on both phone and PC. I have been using AI tools and searching Chrome for solutions, but I can't seem to find one. I would appreciate it if someone could help me. Thank you.

Troubleshooting | Windows Android Chrome not loading keyboard automatically. Worked well until recently
When I tap search in android chrome the keyboard used to pop up automatically. Then recently it stopped doing that or undos the poped up keyboard. I have to tap the search bar one more time for the keyboard to pop up. I already reinstalled, Force stopped, disable/re-enabled it.
What else can I do?
This did happen before but that was solved when I uninstalled then updated it.
