How to turn off resume browsing in chrome.

Google Chrome recently launched ‘Journeys’, a new feature that organizes your browsing history. This article explains how to disable Journeys on Chrome’s history page.

Turn Off Resume Browsing

Journeys are part of your Google Chrome browsing history. You will find them on chrome://history.

Time needed:  1 minute

To disable Google Chrome Journeys:

Turn Off ‘Resume Your Journey’

When Google Chrome Joruneys is enabled, you might see a ‘resume your journey prompt in the addressbar. You can turn this off by disabling the History Journeys Omnibox Action flag.

To get rid of ‘resume your journey’ link:

• Open a new tab and to go to chrome://flags
• Search and locate the History Journeys Omnibox Action flag.
• Select Disabled from the drop-down.
• Restart Chrome.

Note : Flags are experimental features. Google could remove them without any prior notice. If they replace the flag with a settings/toggle, you’ll find that information here in this article when it happens.

What is “Journeys” in Chrome?

Google Chrome recently added a new way to organize browsing history. The new feature is called “Journeys.”

In the traditional format, your history page lists all the pages you visited chronologically. The most recent page appears at the top of the list. What if you want to group them as a session? For example, you researched for hotels to stay in during an upcoming trip. Chrome can group these websites and show them as a “Journey.”

I hope you found this tutorial useful. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments section below, and I will answer them.

Thanks for this information. I don’t need such a feature and so I turned it off.

Journey is a USELESS feature…

Your info page does not explain at all how to disable (and remove) the Journeys clickon when going to History. I also viewed the video; as a tutorial, it is useless and was not designed to assist anyone who is not extremely computer savvy. (In that regard it’s similar to Google’s site designers, who posts a myriad of totally useless instruction pages on various topics).

STOP, Google! Learn when to STOP goofing around with other people’s business.

Sadly, turning it off does nothing. If you turn it on you’ll see everything that you’ve done still. It still keeps track even when it’s “off”. And they need to add a “delete all” button to make it easier to clean or at the very least, add it to the clear history options.

Well, Journeys is just a way of organizing your browsing history. If you do not want it to track you, you’ll need to disable history completely. If you do that, Journey’s isn’t an issue at all.

quick question, how can I turn off chrome journey on my phone and tablet

A way for google to organise surveiling your browsing history

Thanks. Google needs to refine its “resume your journey”: you can’t refine the search in its window.

A truly stupid “feature”. Poorly thought out- but well-designed to waste user time. Who is the brillant programmer who decided that this would be a valuable addition.

There is no “turn off journeys” button in my history settings, and disabling the flag does nothing

For October 2023: go to chrome flags and search for “History Journeys Omnibox”. There should be at least two results. Disable both of these. Profit. This will prevent journeys from showing up as suggested history (when entering text into the URL bar) so that, if you never click on the journeys tab in history, you can basically forget it even exists.

Thanks so much. Finally got rid of that silly RH sidebar that would open op when searching.

why does it say June 2024 on top, when this article is clearly from 2022?

It was showing the last updated date. I have added the label to the date.

How to continue where  you left off  Chrome, Edge, Firefox

Are you tired of losing your tabs? Here are the steps to set your browser to pick up where you left off.

It can be an awful feeling losing your open tabs and windows if your browse closes automatically to install an update, crashes because of an unexpected problem, or you click the close button by mistake. However, you can configure the browser to resume the previous session to make it easier to pick up where you left off.

Whether you use Chrome, Edge, or Firefox on Windows 11 or 10, virtually any modern browser includes an option that saves your current session, allowing you to pick up all your windows and tabs where you left off.

This guide will teach you the steps to configure your default web browser to resume your tabs and windows upon restart on Windows 11 or 10.

Continue where you left off on Chrome

Continue where you left off on edge, continue where you left off on firefox.

To restore your previous windows and tabs after a restart on Chrome , use these steps:

Open Google Chrome .

Click the menu (three-dotted) button on the right corner and select the Settings option.

Click on “On startup.”

Select the “Continue where you left off” option.

Once you complete the steps, Chrome will reload your previous version session after restarting the browser on your computer.

To restore your previous session on Microsoft Edge , use these steps:

Open Microsoft Edge .

Click on “Start, home, and new tabs.”

Under the “Where Edge starts” section, select the “Open tabs from the previous session” option.

To pick up the windows and tabs where you left off with Mozilla Firefox , use these steps:

What are google chrome journeys, what else is new in chrome.

Google announced many new features coming to its beloved Chrome browser, one of which will change the way you go back to the websites you've researched previously. Plus, Chrome is adding more address bar actions.

Essentially, Journeys takes the websites in your browser history and groups them based on topics. So, if you're in the middle of doing some research and you need to get up and walk away, Chrome will group those websites together so you can go back and pick up where you left off with a simple search. This is definitely easier than just a list of recently visited websites, which can be challenging to navigate.

In a blog post, Google explained how to use the feature. It said, "When you type a related word into your search bar and click on 'Resume your research' or visit the Chrome History Journeys page, you see a list of relevant sites you visited and can quickly pick up where you left off, whether it was earlier today or weeks ago."

You can delete websites and clusters of websites from your history as you'd expect. So if your research takes you to places you'd rather not remember, you can delete them just like you would any other part of your browser history.

This comes after Google tested Memories in Chrome 92 , though this appears to be a different implementation of a similar idea.

A Chrome feature many people aren't taking advantage of is Actions . You can enter specific commands to navigate around the browser quickly. For example, you could type "Clear browsing data" to quickly delete your history.

Related: What's New in Chrome 87, Available Now

Now, Google is adding a bunch of new actions. Here's what Google is adding:

• "Manage settings"
• "Customize Chrome"
• "View your Chrome history"
• "Manage accessibility settings"
• "Share this tab"
• "Play Chrome Dino game"

You can simply type any of those into your browser's address bar to accomplish the actions quickly and easily.

Additionally, Google is adding new Chrome widgets for Android. With them, you can start a text search, voice search, Lens search, or open an Incognito tab right from your home screen. If you're an Android user, these widgets should come in handy.

Resuming Chrome file download after shutting down the PC

I have initiated a large download. Unfortunately, internet is slower than usual, and this download will take 3 more hours. I need to leave in 1 hour, and need to shut down the PC. Is there some way that I can freeze this download and resume it later? If I suspend/hibernate, will this continue? Or should I pause it with the built-in Chrome function, and then somehow copy the temporary files and kill / close Chrome, and put this back in place after turning it on again?

Using Chrome 18 on Linux.

Pause it with the option built-in to Chrome, and hibernate the computer. If the SERVER that is providing the download supports resuming downloads, then after you resume from hibernation, you should have no issues resuming the download.

After you pause the download, there is no need to touch Chrome. Just pause, and hibernate. By that I mean, don't close Chrome. Don't kill it or edit anything. Just pause the download, leave Chrome up and running, and hibernate.

• Ultimately, my internet connection simply failed before I could do this, so this issue was "solved" beforehand. I'm marking this as accepted because I think this would have worked. Thanks! –  please delete me Commented May 16, 2012 at 20:53

There is no need to hibernate the computer. If you just use a download manager such as JDownloader (multiplatform) you'll be able to resume the download after shutdown provided the server you are downloading from supports it.

Some websites, due to server software, just do not support resuming downloads and they can't start transmitting midway through a file.

• 1 This works with files that are already in the process of being downloaded? Meaning in the example provided by the OP, since he has almost finished the download, if he were to now install JDownloader, it would assume control of the download in progress and allow for it to be continued later? Or would using JDownload only apply to downloads started after it has been installed? –  Bon Gart Commented May 4, 2012 at 0:36
• Only after it had been installed - good point +1 –  Amicable Commented May 4, 2012 at 8:22
• I've used JDownloader and Mipony for years. They are great, I use them especially to download from sites such as rapidgator, nitroflare.... Problem is they come in with lots of Ads and I believe they're also mining stuff or doing other things under the cover. –  Cătălin Rădoi Commented May 16, 2019 at 7:25

Just pause the download before shutting down your computer. When you turn it back on you only have to resume it in the download section (in settings or press CRTL-J). It takes a while to restart and might not work for every download but it worked for me, hope it helps future users!

I own a laptop and I use VMs often. So when I download large files like macOS Catalina ISOs, I let it continue the download and just put it on sleep mode, making sure that the air vent is not blocked.

there is one way you can use if the server does not support pausing the download you have to go to the download page then disconnect your wifi wait for 5 minutes then put it on again once its on it should say download failed (dont worry it didnt fail) then when you press resume it should resume even if the server doesnt support pausing

Chrome will allow resuming if you terminate it's process via task manager. If you close it normally, chrome will cancel the download.

you only need simple trick:

• trun of your wifi
• if download fail don't click continue
• trun off your pc and start again
• open chrome>download/ctrl+j
• click continue

• Avoid posting answers to old questions that already got well received answers unless you have something substantial and new to add. –  Toto Commented Apr 4, 2023 at 8:20

There is a way but it will work only in some apps.

• Download a file in Chrome web browser.
• Go to Chrome Downloads .
• Wait for a few seconds.
• Now without closing your browser just shut down your computer without pausing it or closing your browser.
• Now switch off your UPS and open plug. After a few minutes reopen your computer and open browser -> Chrome Downloads.
• Click on Resume or Retry.
• If it does not start or starts from beginning, then go to the first line of my answer. It could work only in some apps.

How to Find and Remove Your Resume from the Internet

How to Remove Your Resume From the Internet

How to find your resume, make your resume private, how to delete your resume, update your account information.

kate_sept2004 / Getty Images

Are old copies of your resume still online somewhere? If it’s been a while since you’ve looked for work or updated your online presence, you might be surprised at the version of you that recruiters are seeing when they Google your name.

And they will Google—according to a CareerBuilder survey, more than two-thirds of employers use search engines to screen candidates during the hiring process . The last thing you want when you are job searching is recruiters and hiring managers seeing an outdated version of your resume while they’re forming an impression of your skills.

There are other reasons to remove your resume from the internet, too. Maybe you’re looking for a new job while you’re still employed, and don’t want your boss to find out. Perhaps you’re concerned about privacy and security, and don’t want your personal information floating around online.

Regardless of why you want to take your resume offline, here’s how to do it.

Let’s assume that you don’t know where your resume was posted. Your first goal is to find the copies of your resume that are most visible to your professional contacts.

Search Google

To find the copies of your resume that show up publicly, search Google by your name and the word “resume.” If you posted your resume so anyone can view it, it should show up.

You can also search a bit more specifically and include some keywords that you know are on your resume. For example, search Google for your name, job title, and company.

Review Your Email Accounts

Another way to check where you have posted online is to go back through your old email messages. You should have received a confirmation email when you set up an account on the job board.

You may also have received email messages from prospective employers. When you find an account you created, you will be able to log in and delete your resume or make it private so it's not visible to employers.

Check the Usual Suspects

If your resume is visible, searching on Google and in your email inbox should help you find it. But to be absolutely sure, you can also log in to any professional social media accounts or job search sites that you’ve used in the past to see if you have a resume posted. If you don’t find any copies of your resume, you’re probably in the clear.

Be sure to keep track of all job search activity going forward. A simple spreadsheet or list is all you need. Include all your usernames and passwords, and don't use the same ones for job sites as you do for your personal logins. Even better, create a new email account to use just for your job search.

If you found copies of your resume on the internet, you may be able to hide them without totally deleting them. With some job sites, especially those that have a networking component, you may want to leave your resume online, but limit who can see it. Check the privacy settings. You may be able to change your resume's visibility from public to limited or private.

If you’ve decided that you do want to delete your resume, log in to the sites where you posted it and delete or remove your resume. If you don't remember your usernames and passwords, follow the instructions on the page for retrieving a forgotten username or a lost password. It only takes a few minutes to fix.

You’ll need to know what email you used when you created the job site accounts.

Once you’ve logged into each site, you should be able to find a link to your resume. It should be easy to delete.

If you can’t figure it out, look for a “Help” link where you can search for instructions, or a “Contact Us” page and send a message to the website’s support team who can help you delete your resume.

While you are looking for your resume, take the time to update your online career-related accounts. You never know when you might need them in the future. If you have a LinkedIn profile , update it with your latest employment information.

If you have an online version of your resume, and you want to keep the account, make sure that all the information is current.

How to Restart Chrome without Losing your Tabs

Sometimes, Google Chrome tabs close by themselves because of corrupted extensions, malware, cache problems, or issues with your mouse or trackpad. Many users try to delay restarting the browser because they have important websites open. We’ll show you how to restart Chrome without losing your tabs from previous sessions.

Enable Chrome to Continue Where You Left Off

• Enter "Chrome://Restart" in Address Bar

Restore Tabs With Keyboard Shortcuts

• Click "Restore Window" Under "Recent Tabs"

Open a Bookmark Shortcut to Restart Chrome Tabs

Suppose that the last time you used Chrome, you were so tired that you just couldn’t keep your eyes open any longer, and you turned your computer off. Next time, the new tab page opens by default. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Chrome has an option that allows you to pick things up where you left off.

Click on the three dots at the top-right of the browser, then click on Settings and scroll down to On Startup . Here, you will see three options that control what happens whenever you restart Chrome. The second option is Continue where you left off . Enable it, and the changes will be saved automatically. Now, every time you launch Chrome, you will find all the tabs opened from a previous session.

Another good option is to launch your own set of pages every time you start Chrome. This is very useful for online research. Just select Open a specific page or set of pages . Click Add a new page to add as many web pages as you want. Click the three dots next to each page to edit their URLs if they have changed or remove them from your list.

Tip : learn what Chrome flags are and check out the useful Chrome flags that boost your browsing .

Enter “Chrome://Restart” in Address Bar

This is, perhaps, the easiest way to restart all your open tabs in Chrome on Windows or Mac after it crashes. Just open Chrome again and type  chrome://restart  in the address bar. Then press Enter or Return . Chrome will close and then reopen, loading all the tabs that were open before.

With this method, you might have to wait a few seconds for the pages to load because it uses PC memory. Also, not all tabs may open correctly. For example, secure websites like online banking will log you off if there is any timeout, including when tabs close unexpectedly.

Also read : check out this list of Chrome extensions that automate boring tasks to save your time.

You can use different keyboard shortcuts to reopen the last tabs you had open in Chrome. The shortcuts depend on your operating system and device. Currently, the following shortcuts work well for restoring tabs in Google Chrome or any other default browser on your device.

• Windows and Linux : press CTRL + SHIFT + T to reload all the tabs from your previous Chrome session. Sometimes, we can easily recall the exact tab we were on. Both Windows and Linux offer another useful shortcut that memorizes up to 10 tabs. Simply press CTRL along with a number between 1 and 8. For example, CTRL + 3 will take you to the third tab. To go to the last tab, type CTRL + 9 , even if hundreds of other tabs are open.
• Mac : press ⌘ + Shift + T to open the Chrome tabs that closed suddenly. You can’t go to a numbered tab that you recall in Mac as they have different functions. You can, however, view your entire tab history using ⌘ + Y .

Tip : is Google Chrome not responding and keeps crashing? Try these fixes to ensure Chrome renders properly.

Click “Restore Window” Under “Recent Tabs”

Your Chrome history should hold onto your session history (unless you regularly clear your browsing history), so that an entire session of your tabs can be restored when you next open Chrome (even after rebooting your PC).

Launch the Chrome browser again. Click the three-dot menu icon at the top-right corner, go to History , and look under Recent tabs .

Here, you’ll see a list of your recently closed Chrome tabs. When you close a Chrome browsing session with multiple tabs open, its history is saved as “6 tabs” or “5 tabs,” depending on how many you had opened. Click Restore window to restore your session. You can do this for all tab histories.

Tip : if you’ve synced your Google account , you can open tabs from the other devices where you were using Google Chrome.

You can always use a list of bookmarks to save your important links that can be restored at the tip of a finger. For this, in Chrome, you’ll need to expose the bookmark bar by pressing Ctrl + Shift + B . Or you can open it from the three dots menu followed by Bookmarks and Lists -> Show all bookmarks . Over here, you can add any web page to the list using Add current tab .

After this, go back to the previous screen. Here, you can click on the three dots menu next to the Bookmarks bar and open all in a new window or a new tab group . When you click on it, you’ll trigger Chrome to restart, with all the tabs as per your choice.

However, if you don’t want to work with the default bookmarks bar, Chrome lets you create new folders and rename them. Add all the important tabs you want to open to these folders.

Did you know? You can use Google Chrome extensions with Microsoft Edge .

If you’re willing to use an extension, you may want to give OneTab a try. This Chrome extension will save all the tabs you have opened into a list you can find in one tab. Once added, it will request for additional permissions which you must grant. Following that, unpin the extension.

Whenever you need to save an important tab for your next Chrome session, just click the OneTab icon. It will save the tab automatically. When you restart Chrome, OneTab will list all your saved tabs neatly. It has other options such as Restore all tabs , Delete all , Share as web page , and more. OneTab also lets you neatly view multiple tab sessions by date and time, which is great for research.

Other Chrome extensions that also work well in restoring tabs are:

• Button : it’s an easy-to-use extension which opens all web pages you need. Simply click Reopen recent tabs on top of the address bar.
• Tab Porter : if you’re working from multiple devices, say a work computer and at home, Tab Porter helps you save all your tabs using a lightweight .HTML document. You can later import it on another device.

It’s very common to multitask with many Google Chrome tabs open at the same time. You don’t want to lose access to them due to temporary glitches. By using one or more of the methods mentioned above, you can now restart Google Chrome at any time without losing your tabs.

If you search online a lot, check out these Chrome extensions that improve your search experience with better results. To work with Chrome, you might have multiple profiles enabled which you can add or remove easily.

Recruiters’ jobs just got more difficult—here’s why.

• Share to Linkedin

This AI-driven influx has more than doubled the number of applicants per position, creating a ... [+] double-edged sword for recruiters and hiring managers.

With approximately half of all job seekers now leveraging artificial intelligence tools to craft résumés and applications, employers are grappling with an unprecedented surge in candidate volume , the Financial Times reported.

This AI-driven influx has more than doubled the number of applicants per position, creating a double-edged sword for recruiters and hiring managers. While AI assistance simplifies the application process for job seekers, it simultaneously raises concerns about the authenticity and quality of candidates, potentially prolonging job searches as recruiters struggle to navigate this new hiring landscape.

How AI Is Impacting The Job Application Process

In recent years, the proliferation of online job boards and “easy-apply” features has greatly increased the number of job applicants, and now the introduction of AI has added another layer of complexity to the situation.

Job applications are surging at a rate four times faster than job openings, according to Workday’s latest Global Workforce Report . While open requisitions grew by a modest 7%, applications skyrocketed by 31%, intensifying competition among job seekers.

To maintain a competitive edge, candidates are increasingly turning to AI tools. A majority of job seekers (82%) believe that their rivals for similar positions are likely using AI to enhance or overstate their job applications, a recent survey by Capterra, a software review and comparison platform, found. This perception is driving many candidates to adopt AI technologies in their job application strategies.

Today’s nyt mini crossword clues and answers for tuesday, september 24, forget the fed—china could be about to quietly blow up the bitcoin price and crypto market.

Research from Capterra’s 2024 Job Seeker AI Survey shows that 58% of applicants are utilizing AI tools to assist with their ongoing job search. The primary ways job seekers are utilizing this fast-emerging technology include writing or improving their résumés (40%), identifying suitable job openings (37%) and composing or enhancing their cover letters (33%).

Notably, candidates who incorporate AI into their job search process are able to submit, on average, nearly 50% more applications than those who don't use AI assistance.

When survey participants were asked about key advantages to using AI in their job hunt, the two most frequently mentioned benefits were the ability to submit applications more quickly and the potential to present themselves as more attractive candidates to employers.

However, the integration of AI into the job search process has introduced a new set of ethical issues and potential pitfalls for both employers and candidates. Capterra’s survey revealed that a significant portion (83%) of job seekers are using AI in ways that could be considered deceptive or counterproductive.

Nearly a third (29%) of applicants have employed AI to complete test assignments or skills assessments, potentially masking their true capabilities. Similarly, more than a quarter (28%) have used AI to craft interview responses or to mass-apply to positions indiscriminately (26%).

These practices not only raise questions about the authenticity of applications, but also threaten to overwhelm recruiting systems, ultimately undermining the efficiency and integrity of the hiring process.

Where Do We Go From Here?

Although AI has emerged as a powerful job search tool, it's not a silver bullet. For job seekers, the optimal approach is to leverage it as a foundation, using it to ease and enhance their application process. However, the human touch remains crucial. Candidates must personalize their applications with authentic examples of their experiences and unique qualifications to stand out in a crowded labor market.

While AI offers new opportunities, it's essential to recognize that traditional methods haven't lost their value. Networking and employee referral programs continue to be highly effective strategies for both employers and job seekers to make meaningful connections.

How Companies Can Improve The Situation

Companies could employ several strategies to cut down on the clutter of job seekers who use gimmicks to game the system to get their résumés noticed. Maintaining transparency about the hiring process and the qualities the company values in candidates can deter individuals who might otherwise attempt to exploit the system.

Organizations can adopt new screening techniques to detect AI-generated applications, while also utilizing AI to enhance their own hiring processes. Additionally, companies may incorporate video introductions in the initial application stage to confirm that a real person is behind the submission.

Moreover, employers should prioritize cultivating stronger connections with passive candidates by engaging in networking, utilizing employee referral programs and conducting targeted outreach. This approach can attract high-quality applicants who have a genuine interest in the position and the organization.
