Google Chrome Sync Settings shows 'Sync is disabled by your administrator.'
I'm using my company's laptop and I'd like to sync my content to my Google Account with which I have already logged into Google Chrome.
Not able to turn Sync ON.
Thanks!
You'll need to talk to your company's IT department, as they have deliberately disabled Chrome Sync.
Alternatively, so far it is possible to use the browser Iron Portable, that can sync with Chrome (it is a Chrome-like browser), and apparently ignores these user policy settings, as it is able to sync all data correctly.

Google (via Chrome) is somehow caching anyone that logged in with a Gmail account and associating it with my Chrome Browser. Pictures and logins are now displayed in Chrome by going to:
Settings->"Web Browsing with Google Smarts"
There is no obvious way to delete the data displayed here and disable this feature. Does anyone have any ideas?
I'm using MacOS with Chrome v 68.0.3440.106
Update:
Go to: chrome://flags/#account-consistency , which is:
Identity consistency between browser and cookie jar
When enabled, the browser manages signing in and out of Google accounts. – Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android
Disable that.
For internal use in my department I wrote a Chrome extension. It works fine in developer mode and I delivered it to my colleagues by e-mail attaching the .crx-file. They opened chrome://extensions and drag-and-drop it there. The message
drop to install extension
appeared, Chrome installed the extension and it works like a charm.
Nevertheless, on the very first restart of Chrome, a message appears that Chrome deactivates an unsupported extension.
A link to the help page Extensions disabled by Chrome is added to the message, and states:
To protect you while you browse, Chrome only lets you use extensions that have been published on the Chrome Web Store.
While I understand the reason, is there any other way a user can explicitly tell Chrome an extension is safe? Some effort is acceptable as publishing the extension to the webstore is not.
I have no administrative access, so no changes to registry nor active directory are possible.
As noted, you need Active Directory level policies to whitelist / auto-install extensions. See Policy List.
Chrome will use many defense mechanisms to detect and fight other trickery. The stance is simple: anything an unprivileged user can do any other software can do to implant malware.
However, you should consider publishing in CWS.
This can be done unlisted; unless someone has the listing link, the extension won't be discoverable.
This approach will present a risk of a leak of the link, but with your current delivery mechanism crx can leak as well; in general, copy-protecting extensions is basically infeasible.
This can be done with enforced control over accounts; you can publish to a Google Group of "trusted testers", who will be the only ones to see the listing.
Won't work if you're not allowed to sign into your Google accounts in Chrome.
This can be published with enforcing access only to your domain's users - if you use GApps for your work.
All of the above might not work if your extension is somehow questionable by CWS policies; if you can't publish for this exact reason, and can't use AD policies, I'm afraid you're SOL.
There isn't a way without domain level management to make this work. You can't just have the user "say" it is safe, since the user "saying" something could very well be the attacker. Any mechanism put in place to get around this would simply be used by attackers and unthoughtful companies to add more junk into your browser.
How do I completely remove all data about a single domain in Google Chrome? (in one action)
Use case:
I am developing an offline web application, and frequently need to 'start fresh' while testing
Chrome's "Clear browsing data" can only be limited to time, not domains
Removing a domain's pages in history does not remove service workers
App Cache doesn't work properly in Chrome's Incognito mode
Ideally, a UI button or keyboard shortcut would be best. Extensions are fine, if they work.
Please don't submit answer unless service workers are also removed (I know there are many solutions for cookies/cache etc).
thanks
Chrome now includes a 'Clear storage' function in the 'Application' tab of dev tools (using v52). Thanks Chrome!
My cloud application is programmed already.
Which gets loaded using https://example.com to Google Chrome, then Google Chrome is accessing to the local machine as https://192.168.1.27/
but for security Google Chrome fails because the certificates are self-certified inside the embedded box of 192.168.1.27 (which i cant change).
But i trust it my lan and this device 100%. How can i instruct Google Chrome to avoid this and allow straight access?
You cant as of Google Chrome stable version (13 May 2015)
Ask Chrome Team to fix it. Its not logical and should be treated as BUG. When a programmer trust his lan and his own robots. There is no logic involved Google chrome should still un-trust it (so Chrome Team should brain storm it and add the feature).
I want to run multiple Google Chrome application windows logged into the same web site (Twitter.com, say), each with different credentials. Is this possible? If so, how?
My initial testing shows that multiple Chrome app windows are not sufficiently isolated to do this. Logging into the second account logs me into the second account in both windows, suggesting that they are sharing information just as two Chrome tabs might.
You can use a Chrome "Incognito" window for this.
As you've found, Chrome windows are (like in most browsers) just groupings for tabs, not an authentication barrier.
look for a plugin called "swap my cookies"
You can't do that with chrome Incognito windows.
Take a look here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24690.
So that's right you can create only two isolated session: one incognito and one normal.
See the latest post:
Although it's an extension / plug-in and not in core Chromium, MultiLogin has been working quite well for me: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nccllfnllopfpcbjdgjdlfmomnfgnnbk
It can open new tabs, each with their own cookie jar.
