Chrome extensions (chrome://extensions) redirect - google-chrome

I found some malicious extensions that block your Google Chrome access to chrome extensions so you cannot remove it through Chrome. When you manually type chrome://extensions it redirects you to chrome://apps or chrome://settings.
My questions is does anybody knows how do they do it?

In the right top of chrome are extension symbols and you can just rightclick them to remove

Remove All Chrome Extensions While Reinstalling Google-Chrome

Recently, I have installed an annoying chrome extension (http://www.buntai.com/). Thanks to this extension, every time I open a new window in google chrome, it will minimize immediately, which made me not able to use chrome anymore.
Therefore, I tried to reinstall google chrome in order to get rid of the google chrome extension(I cannot remove it directly in chrome://extensions/ because I cannot open that page using chrome.)
However, it did not work. When I reinstalled google chrome, the extension was still there.
I am not sure why reinstalling chrome would not remove the extensions and I would like to know if there is another approach to remove the chrome extensions.

Can't open Adblock page from within Chrome Extension

I'm trying to allow users to add an Adblock Whitelist via a Chrome extension. To allow this there is the API like such:
1) Add The Ebates WhiteList
However if I add that link to a Chrome extension popup window the link doesn't go anywhere. My guess is that the Chrome extension execution context isn't aware of Adblock/able to support that API. Is anyone who is more of an extension wizard than myself able to verify that I'm correct in my assumption and that there is no workaround? Thanks!

Shortcut to Chrome DevTools via Extension

Is there an extension to open the chrome dev tools? I know there is a shortcut (clr+shift+c) but I would prefer to click on the extension icon to open the dev tools element inspector. I have searched a lot on the chrome web store and on stack but couldn't find any references to such an extension. Any help regarding this would be great.

Google Tag Manager preview mode not working on click

This is not a problem with viewing the GTM console on my domain.
When I click the "preview" button my GTM interface refresh, but it just won't go into preview mode! Never had this problem before and I've tried closed and opened chrome, disabled cache in devTools and tried it in incognito. Nothing of this works.. Any ideas?
I have admin with publish rights for my account.
Solved it!
One of my Chrome extensions blocked it for some reason I don't know.
It was the extension "Ghostery" that caused the problem and when I deactivated it "preview and debug" started working.Now I just have to find out a way to still use the extension and keep GTM working, like it did before christmas.
I have found that if you are blocking third-party cookies, the GTM Preview/Debug won't turn on.
I've never got Preview mode to work in Chrome.It does work using Opera. You can get an add-on for Opera that will allow you to use all Chrome extensions in Opera.

Chrome extension that hides other extensions icons

I was trying to create a Chrome extension that hides all the existing extension icons (can't be disabled), is there any way to do it?
Extensions cannot change chrome's settings or appearance(with a few exeptions).
Extension apis like you are suggesting would be very invasive and most likely unwanted from most users.
