I am having problems with Chrome injecting inline styles into the markup of web pages which breaks the site behaviors, typically where there are fly-in menus. An example is http://www.outdooralternative.co.uk/. On a narrow screen, when the mobile menu button is visible, the button doesn't work on chrome, but works perfectly well on anything else. Indeed, it works on Chrome on other people's machines. On this particular site, the <nav id="menu-primary"> element is given and inline style of  transform: matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0). This doesn't exist in the actual site markup.

I have done a hard reset of Chrome, but removing it from my Windows 10 machine, deleting the Chrome directories under users/local/appdata... etc, and the programme files (x86)/google directory, restarted my computer and re-installed Chrome. It didn't fix the problem. 

This morning, for the first time, the Inbox menu stopped working, though at the moment that one is working properly again. 

Its obviously something to do with my particular set-up since it works fine on my husband's PC, which is running the same version of Windows 10 and the same - latest - version of Chrome.

Its driving me nuts! Can you help?

Chrome itself doesn't add styles like that. Did you check if you have any extensions installed? Menu ->Tools>Extensions, iirc.

Thank you Christian, I don't know why I didn't think of that. I disabled all the installed extensions and enabled them again one by one. Sure enough, the culprit was the "see" extension for viewing a website like someone with a visual impairment. Which I suppose makes a certain kind of sense!

Thank you, wish I'd asked the question months ago, I've been so frustrated trying to track down the answer.
