How To Fix Broken Extensions In Google Chrome 72
Nayra Wellinghoff
I have seen a few posts on this sub and Twitter but I feel like it's not getting enough attention. The Chrome extension is outright broken for me, when I click it either nothing happens or I get a grey screen with a spinner forever. This is simply unacceptable, when are the devs going to address this?
chrome-internal://newtab was a special internal URL used for old versions of the New Tab Page which is no longer supported and has been removed.( For details see - Remove unused kChromeInternalScheme "chrome-internal" )
If opening a New Tab page gets an error about chrome-internal://newtab, then you have an old New Tab Extension that uses this old URL that no longer works. You can look for updated New Tab Page extensions from the Chrome webstore: -extensions/new%20tab%20extensions
Or you can find which of your extensions is causing the problem. Go to chrome://extensions and first disable all your extensions (or disable any extensions you don't recognize) and re-test. Your New Tab page should be fine after that. Then re-enable your extensions one-by-one to see which one was causing that error.
I went into my extensions page and disabled everything there. I then reenabled them all one by one, like you did. The only one that was causing a problem was the one called New Tab Page that's installed by default (I assume when you install Chrome). Disabling that lets me open it up the new tab page, which apparently is back to not displaying apps unless you click the Apps button in the bookmarks bar.
As follow up i had the problem.I disabled all extensions, and reactivated one by one trying a new tab each time to see what extension was the problem.I found the "linkedin" extension to be my problem...
I found the answer in the chrome extension docs. By default, files in the extension root are not accessible in the web page DOM. The developer can override this with the "web_accessible_resources" setting in the manifest.json file:
I am having the same issue with just using Chrome. Elements are not drawn correctly. Even browsing this Fedoraproject.org site has issues where just scrolling the page things are not painted correctly. If I lauch Chrome and go to the address bar and type in an address, the left half of the dropdown box is not drawn and only half the box is populated.
Something is broken.
I am in the process of migrating from Chrome to Brave, after discovering the Manifest V3 project.
Nevertheless, I use several Google services that I will continue to use and I have problems with two extensions in particular:
Also, please check your Brave version at brave://settings/help. The current Release version is 1.43.93. If your Brave version is not up-to-date, updating may solve the problem. You can also try installing the extensions in a new profile ( Create a new profile to help Troubleshoot) to see if works in a new profile.
What seems to be the issue (at least in every case I've seen so far) is that it is either an issue with a Chrome extension or a cookie from Instructure that appears to be a third-party cookie and is blocked. Mostly it seems to be extensions.
Go to the Extensions page in Chrome: Menu > More Tools > Extensions. Look through your installed extensions for that are rarely used or that can "read and change all your data on the websites you visit" (click on Details to find out what it can do) and focus on those first. Try disabling some of those and then reload the page with the problem in Canvas and see if the problem goes away. If not, then re-enable those extensions and try deleting some more.
After much experimentation, I identified Ghostery and AdBlockPlus extensions as problematic (both extensions block ads and tracking). I had to completely remove them from Chrome. Disabling/pausing them did not result in the consistent ability to see pdfs with File Preview and DocViewer. Now that I've removed them from Chrome, File Preview and DocViewer work fine when using Canvas.
Hey friend, I have the exact same issue while installing the chrome extension. I've tried to find a solution including using a laptop instead of desktop to install and use it, but have confronted the same issue again at the laptop. Sorry that I don't have any solution. Anyway I wanted to let you and Atlassian know that this issue exists quite broadly. I'm in Seoul, South Korea.
Same problem here, the search functionality is completely broken for me. None of my named sites appear when entering partial strings like they should be after clicking on the LP extension icon in Chrome at the top right... I literally have to open my vault and use the search there which I am not going to get used to after 10+ years of using LastPass. I'll try re-installing the extension, hopefully that fixes the problem.
@Gareth_Davies, @Patbos, if the prototype loads successfully in incognito mode, but fails to load in normal mode, then this may mean that the browser extensions that are enabled may affect the loading of the prototype. Go to the chrome://extensions page and try disabling all extensions.
Hey everyone I just had this problem and i tried all the stuff suggested, (chrome extensions/flags, Open GL, and incognito mode) and the only thing that worked for me was signing out of the figma app and signing back in lol
Check this page often to learn about changes to Chrome extensions, extensions documentation, or related policy or other changes. You'll find other notices posted on the Extensions Google Group. The Extensions News tag lists articles about some of the topics listed here. (It even has an RSS feed.) The Chrome schedule lists stable and beta release dates.
A requirement for Manifest V3 is that extensions may no longer use remotely-hosted code. Although this has been part of our migration guide from the beginning, we thought it was worth improving the guidance around this issue. That page now provides more information, describing what's still possible in Manifest V3 and providing more information on strategies for upgrading.
Starting in Chrome 118, the isUrlFilterCaseSensitive property in the chrome.declarativeNetRequest API has been changed to default to false. If you wish to keep the old behavior, you can explicitly set isUrlFilterCaseSensitive to true in your declarativeNetRequest rules.
We published a new guide on how cookies and web storage APIs work in Chrome extensions. It includes details on cookie and storage partitioning changes in Privacy Sandbox, an ongoing project to deprecate third-party cookies through the creation of a series of new web platform APIs, and details on how they work in extensions.
Beginning in Chrome 118, extensions will need the "Allow access to file URLs" setting enabled from the chrome://extensions page to open file:// scheme URLs using the Tabs or Windows APIs. You can programmatically check for this access by calling chrome.extension.isAllowedFileSchemeAccess(). Firefox already restricts file URLs, and Safari supports the change. For more information, read the post in the extensions Google Group.
Previously navigation triggered from extension API calls for tabs.update(), tabs.create(), and windows.create() emitted an error for some chrome:// URLs. Additionally, calling tabs.update() with a JavaScript URL was forbidden. In 117, these protections on JavaScript URLs have been expanded to the tabs.create() method and a number of additional chrome:// URLs have been added to the list of forbidden URLs that applies to all of the previously mentioned methods.
The chrome.declarativeNetRequest API blocks or modifies network requests by specifying declarative rules. This lets extensions modify network requests without intercepting them and viewing their content, thus providing more privacy to users. It's also tricky to use. With that in mind, we've rewritten the guidance in a way that we think paints a clearer picture of how to implement declarative rulesets. Read the new section at the link above.
Chrome 116 is a big release for extensions. You can now open side panels programmatically. A new method lets you learn if there's an active offscreen document. Service workers got serveral improvements. There's enough improvements in 116 that we've written a blog post to cover them. Chrome 116 is in beta as of July 19.
We've just published an overview of this year's changes and improvements to extensions. The post discusses the year's big new features, including the Side Panel API, service worker enhancements, and offscreen documents. You'll also get a peek at what we're working on for this quarter. The article lists much more, with links to all.
You can now specify multiple reason enums when calling chrome.offscreen.createDocument(). Use this when an offscreen document will be used for multiple different purposes. The browser uses the supplied reasons to determine the lifetime of the offscreen document.
Introducing the new Side Panel API, a companion surface that allows users to access tools alongside the content they are browsing. To learn more, visit the Side Panel API reference. Additionally, we've added many side panel samples to our GitHub sample repository. We also share more about side panels in the new blog post Designing a Superior User Experience with the New Side Panel API. Our quality guidelines policy and best practices have also been reviewed to provide further guidance on creating high-quality side panel extensions.
We've just published a new article called Audio recording and screen capture, which covers recording audio or video from a tab, window, or screen in Manifest V3. This article describes multiple approaches to recording involving the chrome.tabCapture API and the getDisplayMedia() function.
To help with Chrome Web Store publishing, we added new guidance in two areas. Guidance for minimum functionality centers around providing users with benefits and enriching their browsing experience. Guidance for affiliate ads is about making users are aware of extensions using affiliate links or codes for monetization, and giving them some amount of control by requiring user action before inclusion.
