Screen Capture : There was a problem adding the item to Chrome. Please refresh the page and try again

[bless888]

I just installed Windows 7 64-bit, but I can't seem to install Screen Capture.  Error : "There was a problem adding the item to Chrome. Please refresh the page and try again."  keeps appearing even after refreshing page or chrome.  I was able to install it before with Windows 7 32-bit.  Pls. help.

[Zachary “Gamer_Z.” Yaro]

I have had this problem too, but it is not a 32-/64-bit issue.  There was another thread about this, but I do not believe the issue ever got resolved.

Because Goog and M$ want to disable plug-ins at all and block access to system level functions for all independent developers and move all developers into their sandbox.

"However, platforms such as ChromeOS and Windows 8 don't support plug-ins"
http://blog.chromium.org/2012/10/smarter-npapi-installs-from-chrome-web.html

Screen Capture uses NPAPI plugin, so you can't install it on Windows 8. If you have crx, you can still drag crx file to chrome://extensions page in Windows 8 desktop mode only!

Information for developers:

Webapp is a shortcut to your web site on Windows 8 metro screen or Chrome new tab page. The shortcut is fully controled by corporations and can be disabled at any time at the discretion of the Corporation.

You can not  write your app using system level functions.  You can write code within corporative sandbox only! The Corporation have access to the system and decide what you can, by exposing an API interface.

Welcome to the web fully controled by large corporations

Google and M$ say that they would block NPAPI for security and etc. reason. Correct me if I'm wrong but what we see on the platform without NPAPI?

"In one year, Android malware up 580%, 23 of the top 500 apps on Google Play deemed ‘High Risk"

http://thenextweb.com/google/2012/10/25/in-one-year-android-malware-up-580-23-of-the-top-500-on-google-play-deemed-high-risk/

[PhistucK]

Your point being what...?

Android applications are just like NPAPI in terms of security.

NPAPI is just like any native application you install on your platform. The only difference is that the browser loads it and that it has some specific integration with it.

So, yes, not allowing them will certainly increase security.

PhistucK, you've seen Win 8 or Chrom OS? And, if you're use it, this is not your PC. (PC = Personal Computer)

This is now a corporate run system and you know about this. So what kind of security do you mean?

I think You know perfectly well what I mean, judging by the numerous posts in other forums.

NPAPI vs Content Scripts:
An external programm can install Chrome extension and access the Internet trough firewall without any troubles.

By using content scripts an malicious app can stealth private data.

It's more safer than NPAPI? I think, the only thing for which they are blocked NPAPI is to prevent access

independent developers (not controlled by M$, Google etc.) to the system.

Of course, next Win version Will Run as Metro-Only?

I think, Chrome OS, Metro on Win 8, is the corporate engine to gain complete control which software, websites, 

can be used by people. On the one hand it is good, because they can react quickly to any incident and remove malicious software,

but on the other hand we see full monopolization (or oligopolization) by Internet giants. 

More IT people will lose his job, this has already begun.

I'am not against Google – quite the opposite! But I give it a year to see how this plays out, and I would not be surprised if their stocks fall by another 10-30 percent :(

And by the way, PhistucK, about a "very secure browser" which works without "insecure" NPAPI plugins,
copy and paste the following link inro address bar in Chrome 23 stable, and hit enter, attention, (Chrome crashes)

chrome://favicon/size/48/http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/welcome.html

[PhistucK]

By accessing your system, a malicious developer can even prevent you from uninstalling the application, or even destroy your device (somehow).

A content script cannot do that.

The link you posted is an internal browser link. A website that embeds it will not crash the browser. You have to go to it directly.

(Have you filed/searched for an issue? crbug.com)

And this looks like a stability issue, not a security issue, as far as I can see. And not one of high priority, since no one should use internal links directly. Using undocumented features might cause your browser to crash.

(I am not sure whether extensions have access to this one. If they do, then it is probably just a stability issue.)

I'm not searched /filled for this issue on crbug.

By accessing your system, a malicious developer can even prevent you from uninstalling the application, or even destroy your device (somehow).

A content script cannot do that.

It depends on what is more important, who needs to destroy your device? What are the benefits?
For crackers it's far better to get your private data i.e credit card, health information etc.,
and content script can do it. It is more dangerous than just access and destroy (unlikely)
your device. So plugins is blocked for other reasons. See more global, the main reason is not
mystical security.

Windows 8 Sales Below Projections!

This is very good news. Thank you Google. Please even more products like Chrome-Metro and Windows 8 will meet the same fate as Vista.

Check out what was going on the Internet forums, thousands of problems with the browser without plugins.

Last Chrome update always starts in metro mode if Chrome is set as default browser. Simply ingenious solution......

Windows 8 Sales Below Projections.......

"UnMetro" Google Chrome : 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command]
"DelegateExecute"=-

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Chrome\.exe\shell\open\command]
"DelegateExecute"=-

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Chrome\.exe\shell\opennewwindow\command]
"DelegateExecute"=-

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Chrome\.exe\shell\run\command]
"DelegateExecute"=-

[Ozzy]

Another solution how to always run Chrome in desktop mode on Windows 8

"Windows 8 is typically Windows 7 with a different front-end, so the easy solution is to run the software, any software, in Windows 7 compatibility mode.  Right click on the shortcut or the executable and go to the Compatibility tab, and then select Windows 7 under Run This Program in compatibility  more for:.

That’s it, and have fun playing with your desktop."

http://www.mspstudio.net/2012/11/19/run-chrome-desktop-mode-windows-8/

[PhistucK]

I would advise against this. Some Windows 8 optimizations may be lost beside the "Metro" user interface.

What specific optimizations may be lost beside the "Metro" user interface? 

Metro is developed for tablets, why Chrome team offer users to use Metro chrome on Desktop PC?

[PhistucK]

Not in the "Metro" user interface specifically, in the Windows 8 edition in general.

Every operating system version comes with API optimizations, changes and differences. Loading Chrome using a compatibility mode may run it without such optimizations.

I think everyone understands that people want to use the desktop version and not a stripped-down metro on their own desktop PC.

Why Google is pushing the metro for all Chrome users? To get people use the system similar to the Chrome OS?

It is my conviction that metro-app-cloud-driven OS idea will fail. Why? 

Because the subconscious desire of every human being to have its own home, car...

own OS and files, and even YouTube videos, or....

Google doesn't "know" that downloaders is one of the most popular software? 

They don't see that people do not want to store all in the corporate cloud 

and use metro on the desktop?

Don't believe ;)

[PhistucK]

The "be like Chrome OS" conspiracy sounds ridiculous.

This is probably just a bug, obviously. I do not believe it is intentional. A browser should only run in "Metro" mode when you run it from "Metro" mode.

Please, search crbug.com for existing issues. If you cannot find any, create a new one.

Thank you.

Maybe, I am not a supporter of conspiracy theories ;), but facts are facts.

Maybe you've heard, recently Google search have been blocked in Russia (several hours), they also said it was a bug. We all "believed" in it.

try to instal google chrome version 1.6 or lowest it maybe work

[AbuLaila Ahmed]

 Hello Bless,

This issue occurs just from your router configuration you might have (Firewall) and there's some security in it with a (CFS) Content Filter Service 

and inside the CFS there's " Enable HTTPS Content Filtering " Uncheck it and check your White/Black List, Google Store works via port 443, Thus make a Rule to allow Access from "any" to "any" --> Service should be HTTPS.

Ahmed,

IT Administrator.
