How did my Google chrome extensions got automatically deleted? - google-chrome

So, this is what it happened, I was at my college using my laptop at it's last stage of power coz i forgot the charger at home. So i closed the lid. Put the laptop in bag and came home, astonished to find that the laptop was switched off.(Not hibernated) Then i opened chrome and was using it and suddenly i saw ads. And quickly checked my extensions and found that all of my extensions had disappeared. with a message "Boo... You have no extensions :-("
Any idea how i could restore the extensions back? I don't even remember the name of all extensions. I read somewhere that logging into Google account will re-sync the extensions. But i just realized that the last time i logged into chrome using Google account was a year ago.
I suspect it's some bug of Chrome.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Please!

Well you could try logging in with your Google account. Perhaps you were logged in to Chrome, and it somehow logged out.
Also it's quite a known issue, check: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142059

Easy fix - just reinstall any one of your previous extensions and the rest will all reappear as they are cached at Google.

If you were logged in with your Google account, just open https://chrome.google.com/webstore/user/library

Google Apps scripts called from Google sites now (suddenly) returning 404 error

I have a Google site (https://sites.google.com/site/kitchenergaffers/) which has many pages where scripts are launched. This morning (18 August 2020 EDT) I see that none of the script pages are working and the script seems to be reporting a 404 error of some sort.
The scripts interact with a series of Google sheets
Here is an example of one such page
https://sites.google.com/site/kitchenergaffers/home/general-gaffers-information/publish/directory-of-results?display=directory
=============
404. That's an error.
The requested URL /accounts was not found on this server. That's all we know.
There are many pages that run the same script, and some pages that have different scripts.
All scripts are set to run Anonymously, anyone can execute
Nothing on the site or within the scripts code or Sheets has changed to create this issue.
UPDATE: Although the error comes up using Chrome browser when logged into the creator account, or my personal account if I open an incognito window they run correctly!
UPDATE2: My PC suffered a Windows update yesterday that may be related however, my Chromebook shows the same problem. This problem does not happen if I use Edge browser.
UPDATE3: If I log out of all my accounts, and only sign in to one of them, the problem does not happen. Once I log into an additional account, the problem recurs. Signing out of all, then back into one only is then necessary.
as of 15:00EDT 20 August the issue seems to be resolved. I am not sure if it was something I did experimentally or what, but it has gone.
As it seemed to be related to my account and using Chrome I turned off sync, cleared cookies (also disabling Chrome extensions and bookmarks it seems) then "repaired" or reenabled extensions, resync'd to get the bookmarks from the Chromebook or phone and tried again.
The issue seems to have been resolved - maybe by these actions :)

Google chrome search suggestions aren't functioning correctly while logged in

When typing in the Google Chrome search bar, a very limited selection of suggestions is given, with no suggestions given after the third word has been typed. This only occurs while I am logged in to my google account, and no issue is present when using incognito. The issue is present in both the address bar and the main google search.
This issue started a week ago, seemingly for no reason. I am not currently running any extensions for Google Chrome.
An example is shown below of the difference between my logged in google search suggestions and those i get in incognito mode.
The same issue occurs on my phone using the google chrome android app, but does not occur when using different accounts.
The issue resolved 10 days after emergence, but the solution was not clear. Shortly before it resolved, in my google account settings I disabled and reenabled private searches (https://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en-GB), but this did not appear to immediately resolve the problem. It may have simply been a coincidence that the issue resolved shortly after this.

Can't pay $5 to register as a Web Store Developer, because the button is missing

Chrome Version: Version 54.0.2840.99 m (64-bit)
OS: Windows 10
Extensions: None enabled
I want to upload an extension to the web store developer dashboard. Since it will be my first one I have to pay 5 dollars as an entry fee. When I tried the first time I was able to see a button to press that loaded the form in which I put my CC info.
But I had trouble with my cc and I had to try it again later. But now the button is missing from the page and there is nothing I can do to bring it back.
This is a picture that shows a screen shot with the button enabled and what I'm seeing right now.
Link here.
Does anyone here had a similar problem and knows how to deal with it?
It is known bug and being tracked at crbug.com/652178
I doubt whether Google Webstore team have fixed it yet, but as a workaround you can try updating your payment details at https://wallet.google.com , then retry. I got it solved earlier in same steps.
Hope it helps!

Download of Clickonce Application in Chrome marked as Malicious File

It seems that the latest update of Google Chrome 44 to 45 is blocking clickonce applications.
Our clickonce application is working fine and is in production for over weeks.
This morning we got reports that when users tried to download our application it straight end up in the Downloads tab with following message: "[...].application may harm your browsing experience, so Chrome has blocked it. Recover malicious file". After clicking that message a confirmation dialog is shown and if that gets accepted the user can download the application file.
Is anyone else having the same experience with their clickonce applications and do you have any idea how to get around with it?
Thanks for any ideas / help!
(I have sadly not enough reputation to post images, sorry for that)

It looks like it might have just been raised in the Chromium issue tracker:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=532952
Quoting from there:
My understanding is that if Google has not scanned the file because it is unreachable or isn't aware of it (no public links so it can't be crawled), Chrome will block the application."
In latest version things are worse: There is only Suppress button next to the message "xxx may harm your browsing experience, so Chrome has blocked it" with no links for "recover". The trick is to click on Show all downloads button on far right. There you will see the link for recovering the file that Chrome unnecessarily deemed as malicious.

Google Chrome Client Certificate Popup

I'm implementing a mutual authentication for my client in order to solve not having to continually whitelist some of the agencies with a dynamic ip. The process works fine in all browsers that I've tried in the Windows environment (Windows 7).
The problem is that there is a popup for every time that the user goes to the site. On most browsers, this is a one time occurrence, when you first go to the site for the day. On Google Chrome, however, the popup occurs on what appears to be every POST/GET request. I found how to disable the popup for IE and FF with this link: http://docs.threerings.org.uk/wiki/Certificates_without_prompting, but there is still the problem with Chrome.
I've tried to install the certificate into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities, but I get an error message, "The import failed because the store was read-only, the store was full, or the store did not open correctly.".
If anyone has an idea on what I can do to get around the pop-up for Chrome, it would be greatly appreciated.
This is what you're looking for:
http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#AutoSelectCertificateForUrls
I could tell you how to do it exactly, but my honest opinion is that this is something you have to work out yourself. You need to know what is going on because you are more than likely to run into bugs (not bugs per-se but some undesired or unwanted results).
I have to admit that Google Chrome and Chromium are great browsers, but when it comes to client certificates, they have a lot of improvements to be made.
Just some extra info on this that may help people.
The first part references the CFBundleIdentifier which you can find in the Contents folder then info.plist. Click you Application and then show package contents then you should see it.
So I had to do this for Chromium for Tizen debugging below worked obviously use your CN name.
defaults write org.chromium.Chromium AutoSelectCertificateForUrls -array-add -string '{"pattern":"*","filter":{"ISSUER":{"CN":"Entrust Certification Authority"}}}'
