Google-chrome – Store console output to file in Google Chrome

Press F12 to bring Google Chrome Developers Tools out and navigate to Console tab and run below command:

document.oncontextmenu=null;

It should bring most of the context menu back.

It should work for Firefox as well.

Of course on Firefox you could just use Shift + right-click to bypass the JS context menu.

For the why: because you're unlucky. More seriously, many things can cause a file corruption. It may come from a power failure during a write (even if you didn't notice it, you computer may not even rebooted), or a software bug in google chrome causing it to write garbage to its files.

It could also be an NMR Spectrometer operating too close to your computer (well, depending on where you work, but it happened to a friend of mine and I couldn't resist) .

For the how to fix it:

• You should make backups of everything is important to you before this kind of things happens. This includes your mail directory, browser settings, cat pictures, etc.

  I'm sorry because this is probably not what you want to hear. But remember that you only lost one file. Next time it may be your entire hard disk.

• If you are very (I mean very) motivated, you could still save your corrupted file before overwriting it (maybe it's too late), then look at google chromium source code to learn things about the file format, and then try to extract as much information as you can from your damaged file.
