When I push a new version of a Chrome extension to the Chrome Web Store, how long will it take for the updated version to reach current users?
I pushed an update about six hours ago, but the extension hasn't updated for me yet. The Chrome docs are unclear.
Currently this defaults to 5 hours (based on the code here).
You can override this by launching chrome with the extensions-update-frequency command-line parameter, which is the frequency in seconds. And you can go to chrome://extensions, tick the Developer mode checkbox at the top right, then press the Update Extensions Now button
Chrome docs doesn't specify this 5 hour value though, so it could change in future versions without notice:
Every few hours, the browser checks whether any installed extensions
or apps have an update URL. For each one, it makes a request to that
URL looking for an update manifest XML file.
Restarting the browser and OS didn't help. Eventually, the extension updated itself, but it took at least 48 hours.

I am using google chrome Version 57.0.2987.133 on windows 7 pro 32-bit and after that every tab is showing this message "Your connection is not private". I believe after update into latest release its stop working. Any guidance
In order to resolve this problem, firstly, you need to test the range of this error by using another browser, such as Firefox and load the same website. If you get a similar error message, which is: Your connection is not secure, then definitely something was wrong with your computer, not from Google Chrome.
However, if the problem is only come from Google Chrome, then you can start to diagnose and troubleshoot.
Solution #1: Clean up all cookies and cached files on your browser.
Solution #2: You can add "--ignore-certificate-errors" in the
shortcut of Google Chrome to turn off this annoying warning. This is
for temporary, not real solution to fix it.
Besides, you should also check again your date and time to make sure those settings are correct.
In case this error is appeared in both Google Chrome and Firefox (or any other web browsers), then you should take a look at your antivirus software. A feature called SSL scanning or something similar would be the cause of it.
After trying those solutions but still getting this error, I would recommend using CCleaner to uninstall Google Chrome completely and then download it again into your computer. This will help you to remove all outdated & invalid settings of Google Chrome out of your computer, which could lead to this error. However, make sure to use Google Chrome Sync to backup your sensitive data first (saved passwords).

From few days I am experiencing weird issue. When I reboot system or even relogin, then I am logged out on sites on which I was logged or clicked 'remember me'. Problem appears only in Google Chrome (Firefox and opera are working well), for example:
log in to stackoverflow
log out from system
log in to system
unlogged on stackoverflow!
I do not know when exactly problem appeared, remember I was executing localStorage.clear(); in console, but I think it should not be connected with this.
I am using latest Ubuntu 16.04, latest Chrome 53.0.2785.101 (64-bit). I also tried reinstalling and using different versions like google-chrome-beta, google-chrome-unstable but without effects.
What can be the problem causing this?
Edit: I asked this question on StackOverflow, because I thought it may be related with localStorage.clear()
Fianlly fixed in 53.0.2785.143: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/fc6f304827896fb27397fc2a27f9f5717eff319c
Exactly same issue since last few days running Chrome 53.0.2785.101 (64-bit) on Centos 7. Since I don't log out from centos I can open and close chrome ad It will keep reading cookies saved but when I logout, at the next login it can't read cookies at all. Uninstalling e completely removing personal chrome settings directory (/home/myuser/.config/google-chrome/ )didn't solve.
I made another test: saved new cookies in a chrome session, closed the browser, moved away the file /home/myuser/.config/google-chrome/Default/Cookies, opened again the browser and, as expected, it couldn't find previously saved cookies. After restoring the file in its original path, chrome read the saved cookies again. After logoff-logon from Centos, no cookies again, but the file is still there and unchanged.

I want to automate some tasks that i do daily, to save time and effort.
Daily, when I switch on my computer the main things I do is login to Gmail and TFS server on chrome, and on Mozilla Firefox I open an other account(client account)(as these accounts are in different proxy i have to use two different browsers)
What I want is to automate this, like when I start my computer it has to automatically open and login to the sites on both Chrome and Mozilla
I have made Chrome and Mozilla to open the sites on its startup and placed the Chrome and Mozilla on windows startup(Shell:Startup) of windows,
By doing this each time I close and reopen chrome or Mozilla, it opens those sites again, I want those sites to open only on my system first boot up not every time I open them
Can I do this? anyyy suggestions are welcome please..!!
Use a Batch file with code like this:
start "Firefox" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://site1.com http://site2.com http://site3.com
Then set the Batch file on windows startup - u now can set the startpage of firefox to google or sth. else. The Batch file will open 3 Tabs in this case.
For the login there u can use Cookies, so you dont get signed out. Do you have disabled the history?
Otherwise u can use a programm like EventGhost to capture some tasks. The Programm will emulate keyboard and mouse.
One solution would be to use a software like Easy macro recorder, or any equivalent, which records your actions and repeat them. I assume in this case that all elements will be at the same position on your screen.
If you want to automatize online tasks, you can make a php script with cUrl or use a Mozilla plugin like selenium, and simply add your browser to the start menu.

When shutting down Windows 8.1, Google Chrome produces the error message "Google Chrome did not shutdown properly". How can I get Chrome to shut down without giving me that error message?
I don't have to be logged in as a Google user.
There is another alternative, you just need to go to:
Settings
Advanced Settings
System
And uncheck the Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed option.
For now that is the best solution I have found that does not require you to delete your profile.
Received this error and found that the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences file had the System, Hidden and Read-only bits set. Used attrib to remove them. The first opening of Google Chrome after stated the same message, but subsequent opening the issue was resolved.
On this system, it appears to have been caused by the installation of the Audible Manager from Audible.com.
In the section Users there is an option to "Delete this user", click the button, confirm that you want to delete the user and presto, Chrome stops producing the error message when you start it.
This is a fix for people who wants to use the browser without a user profile. As a little note I have noticed that Chrome seems to be slightly slower booting, but for me it's well worth it to get rid of the error message.

I wanted to have several different chrome instances on my PC.. and i had to install CHROME, CHROME CANARY, CHROMIUM versions separately, and did a good JOB !
however, does there exists built-in function for "CHROME" only, not to install other Chrome versions?
You might also look at Chrome's "User Profiles" feature. It's a really neat way to separate multiple Facebook/Gmail/etc accounts. It also keeps distinct bookmarks / browse history / autocomplete / cookies / etc. Pretty much the only thing shared is the build of Chrome that you are running.
And there's a really nice profile swapping icon in the upper right corner:
Navigate to "chrome://settings" --> "Users"
Update(2015): Note, that this feature was borked up recently, so to get the good behavior now requires setting some extra flags. See http://digiwonk.wonderhowto.com/how-to/get-back-avatars-chrome-switch-user-profiles-more-easily-0159605/
