I had built an extension for a game. It worked so that when I went to gameroom, and clicked a game, the site gives new window as a popup. The extension then appeared in the right upper corner of the url. Then I could click and get a tab window in Chrome.
After updating, I don't see the icon (action) anymore. This is not only for my own extension but also two other independently developed extensions don't show the icon anymore. What has happened? How do I get the icon?
My Chrome build version is: 6.0.472.63
Google Chrome is now at version 12+ and any transient browserAction issues with v6 updates should now be solved.

There are many (1 2 3) answers on Stackoverflow saying a Chrome extension cannot have rounded corners when opened, and yet... The 1Password extension does.
I've noticed the extension is draggable unlike other extensions, and I've noticed I can't right click and inspect it. I've also noticed that if I drag it very quickly, a 'ghost' extension flickers in the middle of my screen.
Any ideas whats going on?
What you're seeing is not part of the Chrome extension, but the 1Password application itself. The extension merely acts as a middleman between Chrome and the real password manager app on your computer. In fact, the 1Password extension requires the 1Password app to be installed on your computer in order to work. When you click on the icon, that's not a popup window, but a native window created by the 1Password app itself. This is done through native messaging.
Reproduce the problem:
Create an any html file and launch it in Google Chrome. The URL will be like "file:///C:/test.htm" in the address bar.
Right click on the page --> Choose "Inspect"
Try to click the "Add new style rule" icon for any elements, it won't work. The newly added style rule will disappear on the panel when trying to edit it.
If using the URL of "http://localhost/test.htm" to open the webpage in Chrome, "Add new style rule" works perfectly. The issue has started exist since upgrading to Chrome 64. It used to work very well for this feature.
Tested in many other computers, all got the same problem.
the only solution (for now) for fixing this issue is to install the previews version 63 of chrome and stop the chrome from auto update on windows 10
download chrome older version from here:
https://www.slimjet.com/chrome/google-chrome-old-version.php
and a guide to stop chrome from auto update in windows 10:

also report this issue in the google chrome "about section" in settings.
waiting to the the next version to check if the issue is fixed...
I am concerned because this is the only icon that looks like an extension off.
Please, somebody edit the code so that the icon looked enabled on each tab, as well as the other icons extensions.
Files of the extension u can download here or find "Scrollbar Anywhere" in chrome appstore.
Chrome recently (around v.48) switched to a unified extension toolbar where all extensions are displayed so that nonsavvy users would see all that useless cruft they installed on shady web sites. That's the reason behind this change.
A gray icon in the toolbar doesn't mean the extension doesn't work.
It just means that:
no toolbar button declared in manifest because neither icon nor popup are needed,
a page action is declared but current page doesn't match the declared URL pattern.
On the other hand, if you disable it on chrome://extensions page (Menu -> Settings -> Extensions)
there would be no button at all.
I've made a simple Chrome app that will redirect the user to my website when they run it, but I can't figure out how to put in Chrome. How exactly would I do this?
Note: I only have manifest.json and icon.png files.
You mean you want to install it on your Chrome? If so;
Go to settings/extensions by clicking the menu icon on the top right.
Click on "Load unpacked extension" on the top left of the extensions page.
Select your folder and it should be done.
(Edit: developer mode needs to be on)
I have the following issue:
When I load my flash app in Google Chrome everything works fine. But when I switch to another tab in browser, wait a bit and switch back instead of my flash app I see white area. Moreover, when I do right-click on it I see flash menu (that one you normally see on right-click).
I see this strange issue only in Google Chrome.
I have Google Chrome 19.0.1084.56 and it runs on Mac.
Any ideas and thoughts are welcome!
