Changing Chrome extension site access has no effect - google-chrome

Chrome extensions have a "Details" page (for example, here's Adblock's). On this page you can change the permissions of the extension to be one of: On click, On specific sites, or On all sites. These options determine whether the extension runs all the time on every site or only when you want them to.
This extension, however, does not change behavior when I modify the permissions from its Details page. Why is this the case? Here's their source code on Github.
I noticed that they use a persistent background page. Would that cause the issue?
Thanks in advance.

The correct answer as stated in the comments:
[the extension] doesn't actually run on sites other than Reddit. It just takes an URL of a tab and runs it through Reddit.
This means that changing the permissions in the Details page doesn't affect anything.

Can I label browser tabs across-origins?

I have a number of embedded devices with a web-based front end, each on a different randomly assigned ip address.
I often want to check between these devices but, when they're open in different tabs, it is hard to tell which is which.
I have attempted to embed these pages in iframes with a header labelling each one, but CORS prevented the pages from showing.
Is there a way I could get the opening page to label a tab or window to help me distinguish between similar looking pages? Failing that, and possibly in SuperUser territory, is there any way I could manually label the tabs in my browser once they're open?
Here's a partial answer. There are a number of third-party plugins for Chrome which allow the user to manually rename tabs. I have installed one called Simple Tab Renamer and it seems to be doing the job.
An automated system would be nicer, but I suspect security policies would prevent that.

How to edit website using Cyberduck

I have uploaded my website by Cyberduck. However, now I want to make some changes. I did edit it in the host but when I access the website through my domain, id didn't change anything.
I don't know whether I did something wrong or the changes need take time.
Most likely it would be cached somewhere. Try opening your website in incognito mode (Chrome), I ain't sure what it's called on other browsers & see if you see the updated content on website.

Is it possible to hide extension resources in the Chrome web inspector network tab?

When I'm viewing the downloaded resources for a page in the Chrome web inspector, I also see the HTML/JS/CSS requested by certain extensions.
In the example above, indicator.html, indicator.js and indicator.css are actually part of the Readability Chrome extension, not part of my app.
This isn't too big a deal in this particular situation, but on a more complex page and with several extensions installed, it can get quite crowded in there!
I was wondering if there was a way to filter out any extension-related resources from this list (i.e. any requests using the chrome-extension:// protocol).
Does anyone know how I could achieve this?
Not quite the solution I was after (I'd have preferred a global setting), but there is now a way to filter out requests from extensions, as mentioned by a commenter on the issue I originally opened.
In the network tab filter box, enter the string -scheme:chrome-extension (as shown below):
This is case-sensitive, so make sure it's lowercase. Doing this will hide all resources which were requested by extensions.
Just enter "-f" in Network field
Was having the same question when my extension adds a lot of noise in the network tab.
Some extensions also fire a lot of data like data:text/image etc, you can append more filter with - like:
-scheme:chrome-extension -scheme:data
Another way to get the http/https requests is to just use scheme:https without - because the resources that extensions request are usually from their local bundle:
scheme:https
An Incognito Window, can be configured to include or exclude extensions from the extensions page of Chrome settings.
One alternative is to go to "Network Request blocking" tab and add "chrome-extension:" to the list, thus extension requests will be blocked and coloured red so it's easy to visually filter them out.
you can simply enable this option and requests from extension will be group.
Update: It can only group requests that create by the extension that draw iframe, such as cVim

The links to .xls files will not work on my intranet site?

I am currently building an asp intranet site.
There are various helpful links that I need to include and some of them happen to be .xls files that are located on a local network within the company.
I link these documents just like I would any word docs (which work fine by the way).
<span>Schedule</span>
The link above works if I simply copy and paste the raw address into my browser (a pop-up window comes up asking me to open the file in Excel). But when I make this a link on the intranet site and try to click on it, nothing happens. I can see the link when I hover over it on the status bar but that's it. It is non-clickable. Anyone have any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?
I should mention that two of these .xls files are password-protected but one of them is simply a read-only file which can be opened by anyone.
I am 100% sure this has nothing to do with css styling because the same thing happens in the current (old) intranet site made by someone else and I use these links on different menu bars as well.
I think you use wrong syntax for shared files, try this:
file:///P:\-Projects-\SCHEDULE.xls
Backslashes are still valid for the path part. Moreover, I'm not sure whether Sharepoint may recognize correctly path to most likely network drive P:.
For me such link to local share works:
file:///\\fs-1\Install\Windows\Servers\DB\MSSQL\SQL2005\en_sql_server_2005_service_pack_4_x64.exe
The solution to this problem is to add the site to the "Trusted Sites" list.
Opening intranet files without the user knowing is considered a secruity threat.
In IE go to Internet Options -> Security -> Trusted Sites then add the site.

Chrome says my website contains malware?

Chrome saying while I am accessing my site, after searching I cleaned my code from the site but chrome still showing then I removed all files from my site and just upload index.html (blank file) but warning is still showing.
Chrome warnings will be based on black-lists which record where malware has been found in a site or domain, this isn't a live "scan" and does not necessarily mean that malware is on that page or at that specific time. It is not clear from your question if you've created a new folder and index.html and you are also seeing a malware warning when browsing to that URL, or if you've replaced your site content with an empty folder and index.html and that warning is still showing. Once you have taken the steps to disinfect the site then you can request a review which should help remove the warning http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=163633.
The malware warning should be taken seriously even if you are confident in your own site content as crackers use automatic toolkits to find vulnerabilities in websites and inject code into them to infect visitors, as these kits are largely automatic there isn't the protection in obscurity you might otherwise assume.
If you've not been able to find and fix the issue Chrome is warning about, you owe it to your visitors- and your own reputation- to take the site content down until you can resolve the problem.
Google Chrome's malware blacklists should be based on same data used by Google's safebrowsing advisory. You can access this information for a particular site (e.g. stackoverflow.com) via the following url:
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=stackoverflow.com
Just replace the domain with your own and it should give you some indication why your site generated malware warnings in Chrome.
