[Q] Hyperlink previews in Chrome on the G3 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I've switched to the G3 I've noticed that Chrome browser no longer gives me a little popup magnifying glass type thing to help me select hyperlinks when I've clicked on one that's in close proximity to another hyperlink. Anyone else noticed this? Is there a way to enable it? Does it have to do with the G3 firmware or is it Chrome Dependant? I haven't been able to find a setting to enable it anywhere.....

LG Keyboard On Top of Everything

Okay, so this seems to be a bug - LG Keyboard seems to be on top of everything, and when I say that, I mean everything.
For example, my LG Keyboard is on and on the screen, I pull down notifications and they go below the keyboard - so I need to press "Back" button to bring down the keyboard in order to properly view notifications. I believe everyone here who uses Facebook also has the Messenger app - Messenger app has bubbles of people in active conversation - when I drag these bubbles down and I'm typing in any other chat (LG Keyboard is up) they go below the keyboard, they get covered by it.
TL
So, I have absolutely no idea what could be causing this. My last resort is to save videos and images and do a factory reset. I tried looking this very issue up on Google, but no luck. Anyone got any ideas?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but have you tried adjusting the keyboard height?

Disable Firefox Search

I have disabled Google Now (I did it on my previous m8 too). Its not something I use often, if at all, and especially back on the m8, swiping up and activing it by accident was irritating.
However, on the HTC10 after disabling google now, it seems to have been replaced with Firefox Search. Or rather, Adblock Search since I use Adblock Browser, which is basically just an adblock specific version of Firefox.
Basically, when you hold down on the home button/fingerprint sensor, when it would usually bring up google now, it instead brings up a search page.
It isnt the first time this has happened. I managed to disable the search thing when I was back on Stock ROM, but since installing a custom one, I've completley forgotten what it was I did.
AH! I've figured it out!
It is a setting burried in the menus. In the settings menu I just searched for the word "draw" as I have a feeling it might be something to do with "draw over other apps". It isnt, but it lead me to the right place. Under "Default Apps" is a setting called "Assist and Voice Input" and it is the selected "assist" app. Click that and select "None". Done. No more annoying pop up menus.

Weird keyboard behavior

Hello all
I have this annoying problem that's just first world problem but problem non the less....
I use Swiftkey keyboard and when I open Chrome Beta or any other text input field the keyboard doesn't pop up no matter how many times I click on text input field!
To get keyboard to show I have to swipe up 'suggestions tab' (I have Chrome home flag enabled), swipe it down and then when I click on text input field the keyboard finally shows and then keeps on working...
I tried finding the solution but all I found was that people were having problems with keyboard randomly disappearing and nothing similar to what I'm experiencing!
It's just a few swipes more but it gets really annoying...
I tried different versions of keyboard, tried enabling and disabling Google keyboard, removing Swiftkey from battery optimization, different versions of Chrome and Chrome Beta (with and without Chrome home flag enabled), it doesn't matter which software I use - it was doing that from official nougat and the moment that I took it out of the box to latest Open Beta that I'm using now...
I'm rooted with Magisk and twrp on open beta 8.1 oreo
Can someone suggest something?

Annoying Slide to Unlock with ads

I have recently bought A50 in India, for very few hours it is quite a wonderful experience but after a few updates, it has become very annoying. I am using pin lock and FP as my security option along Always on Display.
whenever i am trying to unlock the cell, Slide to Unlock option automatically comes up with annoying advertisements. max time it comes once i pick the phone, i have to slide to get fingerprint option or post FP it comes automatically and many times it leads to open up playstore due to touch on the ad.
Is there any option to shut it off? i have tried thru no secutiry setting and all but it keep exists.
Thanks very much
Im not sure what you're talking about but I'm guessing is it lockscreen stories?? If yes you can turn it off from here
You cannot turn it off but set a new wallpaper and then
I also do not have any idea from where these coming, this is very annoying.
i am attaching the two scsht of lock screen and settings. by the way, while taking scsht it comes with an extension name as daily fit.
i am thinking it is something related to One UI.
Update:
Issue identified and solved. This is not related to One UI or updates. there is an app "Daily Fit" which automatically got downloaded via Galaxy App. while taking the screenshot, i found "DailyFit" is mentioned as like "Settings". have uninstalled the app and it is working properly without "Slide to Unlock" screen with annoying ads.
Thanks very much for your quick replies

Question Screenshot Scroll Capture Broken Since Update

Is anyone else having the issue where you try taking a scroll capture screenshot, but some apps like Messages (texting) no longer have the option while the apps that still do, it does not work? If I do it in Samsung Browser, it scrolls the page, but does not save the scrolled portion (only the first shot) and grays out the scroll capture button after. I use this feature often, so it is annoying!
Samsung's advice for a fix was to reset all my apps (which would remove all permissions and such settings) and all settings (including network settings), which is ludicrous and highly doubtful it would fix it.
