I can't access internet through my chrome browser,but can access net through all other browsers in the same system. Tried uninstalling and installing chrome but of no use...Is there any solution for this ?
this is the issue....
Since you have already uninstalled it let's start here:
Step 1: Enable the Hidden Files View.
To do that go to:
Start > Control Panel > Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Click/Check the Show hidden files, folders, and drives option.
Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files option.
Press OK.
Step 2: Delete any Chrome or Google folders from your computer.
Navigate to the following locations and delete the Chrome folder(s). You can also choose to rename them. I would also search you computer for any google or chrome folder to make sure.
C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome
C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome
Step 3: Schedule a check disk
To do this use:
chkdsk c: /r
where 'c' is the drive with chrome installed. You can add other drives as well just in case you had multiple installations. To do this basically replace c with the drive letter.
Step 5: Reboot PC and reinstall chrome.
Optional Step: if the above still fails. Download CCleaner. Restart in safe mode with networking. Repeat the above steps but run CCleaner as the final step.
What you need to do is check if there is a proxy turned on system-wide or even in chrome, turn it off. type that "chrome://settings" in your URL bar of chrome: and search for proxy
i have searched a lot, and then came here to ask. Is it possible to start chrome browser in enabled developers mode for extensions using cmd ?
I tried few flags from http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/
but no luck.
Thanks
There is no flag to enable developer mode. But you can force developer mode to be enabled for new Chrome profiles by setting extensions.ui.developer_mode to true in the master preference file.
On Linux and Windows, this file is called master_preferences and stored next to the Chrome executable. For an example of such a file, see https://github.com/Rob--W/extension-dev-tools/tree/master/chrome
On Mac, the location of the master preference files is a bit more complicated. Chrome attempts to find the file in the user directory, and if it's not found, then the system-wide directory is used. And master preferences are not supported for Canary on Mac.
Google Chrome builds (stable, beta, dev):
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Google Chrome Master Preferences
/Library/Google/Google Chrome Master Preferences
Chromium:
~/Library/Application Support/Chromium/Chromium Master Preferences
/Library/Application Support/Chromium/Chromium Master Preferences
How do I disable Google Chrome extension autoupdate?
Solutions I've found for this:
1. Disabling a concrete extension update
That's what I wanted!
You can do this by editing the extension's manifest.json file:
On Windows: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\<EXTENSION-ID>\<VERSION>\manifest.json (find out the extension's ID by enabling Developer Mode in the extension settings page)
On MacOS: Open /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/EXTENSION-ID/VERSION/manifest.json in a text editor.
On Ubuntu for Chromium: ${HOME}/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences
In this file, set the "update_url" property to something invalid like "https://localhost" for example. For the given url, it makes auto-updating that extension as simply impossible.

2. Disabling all Google Chrome extension updates
For any OS: Just type chrome://plugins/ at address bar and turn Google Update plugin off. Source: How to disable Google Chrome auto update?
For Windows OS: Set Registry values:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update]
"AutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutes"=dword:00000000
"UpdateDefault"=dword:00000000
Source: Making Google Chrome leave itself alone
If the chrome extension is on Github (which many if not most of them are), you can simply:
(1.) clone the Github repo,
(2.) reset the head to the version that you want, and
(3.) enable Developer Mode at chrome://extensions/
(4.) select the "Load unpacked" option from chrome://extensions/, and then select the folder enclosing the source code for the extension.
I recently used this technique to downgrade my version of Reddit Link Opener, which no longer supports users who have opted out of using that site's redesign. This worked for me on MacOS, but should work on all platforms.
If the extension is loaded as an unpacked extension (in the manner described above), it will NOT auto-update to a newer version.
Disabling update for a specific extension:
This can be achieved with the system policies, (more details here)
For Linux :
Get the installed extensions list (IDs), this can be found with ls -l ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions or chrome://extensions
Create the necessary directory if not present mkdir -p /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed (with root)
Create the needed file policies file touch /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/google-chrome.json
Edit that file with the code bellow
open the page chrome://policy/ and reload the policies
{
"ExtensionSettings": {
"ghijklmnopabcdefghijklmnopabcdef": {
"update_url": "https://127.0.0.1/update_url",
"override_update_url": true
},
"YOUR-EXTENSION-ID-LIKE-THE-PREVIOUS-EXAMPLE": {
"update_url": "https://127.0.0.1/update_url",
"override_update_url": true
}
}
}
Note: this can not be applied widely to all extensions in a single rule and also for each newly installed extension the file need to be updated
Hi all those solitions for me have one disadvantage is that all extensions have no updates, I needed to stop only for one extension in this case and wanted al the other to keep making updates.
I think I found the solutuion for windows
Go to
C:\Users\YOUR_NAME_HERE\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\YOUR_FOLDER APP HERE\
In that folder app click in properties and select read only an aplly that to all subfolders and files... for now for me solved the problem !!!

this is a complementary answer to the accepted one https://stackoverflow.com/a/27657703/1422630 , allowing disable all at once on chromium
this is also only for linux (may be run on windows thru cygwin tho, not tested..)
this script will
backup the prefs file,
modify it,
if didnt succeed will output "FAILED"
show the differences using meld if installed
#!/bin/bash
set -ue
strPref="$HOME/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences"
cat "$strPref" |egrep "\"update_url[^,]*," -o |sort -u
read -p "existing unique urls above..." -n 1
strBkp="${strPref}.`date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S"`.bkp"
if cp -v "$strPref" "$strBkp";then
strUpdUrl="clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx" #change this if needed #TODO should match any URL...
sed -i -r "s#(update_url\":\"https{,1}://)(${strUpdUrl})#\1127.0.0.1#g" "$strPref"
if grep "$strUpdUrl" "$strPref";then echo FAILED >&2;exit 1;fi
cmdDiff=colordiff
if which meld;then cmdDiff=meld;fi
#$cmdDiff <(cat "$strPref" |egrep "\"update_url[^,]*," -o) <(cat "$strBkp" |egrep "\"update_url[^,]*," -o)
$cmdDiff <(cat "$strPref" |sed -r 's#","#",\n"#g') <(cat "$strBkp" |sed -r 's#","#",\n"#g')
fi
tested on chromium: Version 63.0.3239.84 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit)
obs.: that script also works for google-chrome, just change the preferences file path
After updating Google Chrome to v60, no solution found on the Internet has helped me
So i just blocked IP addresses, used for updating, by doing following steps:
Opened Chrome with blank browser tab
Waited, until extension
autoupdate begins, by looking on to network tab in Resource
Monitor
Wrote out all the IP addresses with high download rate. My IP address list was:
64.233.161.94
64.233.161.102
64.233.163.95
74.125.238.132

74.125.232.183
74.125.232.171
Created outbound rule for chrome.exe in Windows Firewall and added listed IP addresses to blocklist
After I enabled this rule, chrome was unable to update my extensions.
Just (re)install the extension via Load unpacked.
Let's suppose "Roboform Password Manager" extension version 8.6.5.5 dropped some important functionality, so you want to keep version 8.6.2.2 installed.
Go to chrome://extensions/
Enable Developer mode
Get the required version of the plugin:
If Chrome still got the version you need:
Utilize Pack extension button on the plugin details page.
Just copy the extension folder, e.g. C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\pnlccmojcmeohlpggmfnbbiapkmbliob. The extension id is visible in the url bar, on the plugin details page, e.g. chrome://extensions/?id=pnlccmojcmeohlpggmfnbbiapkmbliob.
If the version you need was overwritten already:
Get appropriate ".crx" from some extensions archive
Look for ".crx" in "C:\Program Files\..." (applications/installers sometimes bundle original ".crx" versions, unaffected by any updates)
Unzip (e.g. with 7-zip) your ".crx" (or paste the extension folder contents) to a non-temporary folder - you would have to keep those files in place until you uninstall the extension.
Click Load unpacked, select that folder.
If you just drag&drop the ".crx" file, Chrome extension details would show Source=Chrome Web Store, and it would get updated as soon as you click Update extensions now. But for an unpacked extension, you get a special "Unpacked extension" overlay icon, Source=Unpacked extension and it won't get updated.
Just tested on Chrome 79.0.3945.88 (64-bit), Windows.
Now, Chrome shows "Disable developer mode extensions" popup on each startup. Personally, I just manually dismiss them each time. I do not re-start Chrome too often.
There's very little documentation at GitHub:
The extension can be installed in Chrome by loading the unpacked
extension in build/chrome as described in the Chrome documentation.
The extension can be installed in Firefox by installing
web-developer-firefox.xpi like a regular extension or automatically
with ant install.firefox and the Extension Auto-Installer extension.
Anyone knows how to install in Chrome using the GitHub master zip? When I downloaded the master files, I noticed there isn't a build/chrome folder, so maybe this information is out of date.
UPDATE: Using the unpackaged extension method, I get an alert that makes me move several files in order to recreate the file structure specified in manifest.json, but I get stuck with an alert that states:
Default locale was specified, but _loacles subtree is missing.
If you want to load an Extension from git-hub for testing , follow these steps:
Visit chrome://extensions in your browser (or open up the settings menu by clicking the icon to the far right of the Omnibox and select Extensions under the Tools menu to get to the same place).
Ensure that the Developer Mode checkbox in the top right-hand corner is checked.
Click Load unpacked extension… to pop up a file-selection dialog.
Navigate to the directory in which your extension files live(Go to Root Folder of manifest.json file) , and select it.
I just lost all my changes to my google chrome plugin. However, the plugin is still running within the browser.
Where does Google Chrome store its cached copy of unpacked extensions?
I was able to find luck in:
Non-windows 7:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\<profile>\Extensions
-or-
Windows 7:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\<profile>\Extensions
EDIT: You can go to "chrome://version/" (like a url) and it shows your "Profile Path". There you can find an "Extensions" folder which is the one you're looking for.
Turns out that unpacked extensions are left in their original locations. Only packed extension get extracted to the places Alex.Piechowski mentioned.
On Linux (OpenSuse 12.3), I managed to find all my installed extensions here:
~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/
It's important to first take note of the extension ID in case u wish to just copy a particular extension. For this, open chrome://extensions/ in your browser, copy the id of the extension of interest, and find it's directory under the extensions directory given above.
Being able to locally save copies of extensions like this has helped me to continue using (and even modifying / hacking) on extension that were eventually removed from the Chrome Store by either their owners or Google.
So I was debugging an extension I am building on Mac OS X and couldn't find the SQLite database in any of the standard locations. It doesn't store the DB in the path where the extension files live.
Here's where I found my database when running an unpacked extension:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/databases/http_foobar.com_0/XX
-Eric
User profiles are stored in User Data Directory and it vary depending on the operating system.
The easiest way is to navigate to chrome://version and look for the Profile Path field.
Example (Windows):
[Profile Path] C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
[User Data Dir] C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
Then Extensions are located under Extensions/ folder.
In windows:
Path: C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 1\Extensions
(Here, you will not able to see extensions by name but it will be by extensions by Id. Extension Id you can get it from chrome→extension→Developer modes)
Or
Path: C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
Or
Download Extension Source Locator. Give your username. It will list out all the extension with path details.
