Chrome: how to stop redirect from http:// to https://

    I had something set up whacky in our DNS setup which is now resolved.

    The remaining problem is that chrome has cached the incorrect setup.

    Specifically, when using Chrome http://3rdrevolution.com is now redirecting to https://3rdrevolution.com (naked domain), which is not valid/supported. http://3rdrevolution.com SHOULD redirect to http://www.3rdrevolution.com and then force https://www.3rdrevolution.com.

    But on a handful of browsers (including mine) this doesn't happen because of some funky chrome caching. I tried going to privacy -> clear cache but it had no effect.

    thanks!

    There could be a couple of reasons for this, including plugins but assuming that you do not have any plugins installed you can do the following:

    Goto Settings/Privacy/Clear Browsing Data...

    Select The Beginning of Time in the pull down.

    Select:

    • Clear saved Autofill form data
    • Delete cookies and other site and plug-in data
    • Empty the cache

    Select Clear Browsing Data

    This should take care of it doing any Auto-fill based on your previous browsing. Also, it will remove any of the cookies that could also be causing problems.

    When I catch up on tweets, I like to click interesting links and carry on reading my feed, while the pages linked to load. That worked fine in Firefox, but now in Chrome, whenever I click a link on a tweet, Chrome grabs the focus. This is driving me crazy. How can I stop this?

    Check out TweakUI, I couldn't live without it. It has the option to prevent applications from stealing focus:

    Keep in mind though this doesn't work all the time. Software developers have a lot of nifty tricks that they use to get their windows into focus. I find it works for most things, let me know how it goes with Chrome!
