Chrome Apps
Giovanna Qiu
You might be thinking, "If I write a standard web application, I can run it on any platform that hasa web browser." Of course, this is absolutely right, but remember that Chrome Apps extend yourdevelopment capacity beyond what you can do with traditional web apps:
Chromebooks are an inexpensive, low-maintenance option for bringing laptops into every classroom.Chrome Apps make teaching easy with easy to install applications that run natively on Chromebooks.For example:

I am using Windows 10 (21H2) and I have a semi-old chrome shortcut for a site, that I set up to open in a new window (so that it works like an app - create shortcut -> open in new window). Problem is, it doesn't work anymore - at least not since a chrome update a while ago. Instead of fussing around to figure out why it doesn't work, I just want to create the shortcut again, to not overcomplicate things. I have backups going back several years, so this shouldn't be hard to figure out. Shouldn't.
Problem is, I can't figure out where chrome stores the URLs for these shortcuts/web apps. The shortcut is a shortcut to "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome_proxy.exe" --profile-directory=Default --app-id=XXX, the XXX being what looks like some kind of GUID.
To understand how this all works, I've created another "web app" to see how things change. I've already seen this question but Chrome doesn't seem to be creating an extension with a matching string, as suggested in the answer. I've looked all around Google, and I can't seem to find anything there. I've analyzed the web app creation process with Process Monitor, and while I've found where it places Icons in the file system and uninstall information in the registry, I still have no clue where it stores the URL.
The reason for this is: lots of people try to abuse chrome apps/extensions to install nasty applications to your browser. So Chrome tries to make it impossible to automatically side-load these apps without you making sure that is really what you want to do.
*I received the same error you described when attempting to load the .crx file (packed extension) by right-clicking/double-clicking it and selecting "Open With" "Chrome", and by dragging/dropping the file onto a regular webpage in Chrome.
My chrome extension and Gmail extension for HubSpot doesn't seem to want to work today. I have already gone through all the steps of trying to uninstall and reinstall as HubSpot recommends and still no luck.
I am getting a grayed out icon on chrome with a blue explanation mark on it and in Gmail, I am not able to send a tracked mail through HubSpot or add contacts with new inbound emails. Attached is a copy of a screen shot of what I am seeing.
To do this, you can enable the developer mode by clicking the Chrome menu icon and select Extensions from the Tools menu. Here you can Ensure that the "Developer mode" checkbox in the top right-hand corner is checked.
Then, you can right click on the page, select "Inspect Element", and reload the page. Finally, if you could click on the "Console" tab, and send the errors to me via private message as a HAR file, I can pass it along to my team for further investigation.
extensions.js:4373 [Deprecation] /deep/ combinator is no longer supported in CSS dynamic profile.It is now effectively no-op, acting as if it were a descendant combinator. /deep/ combinator will be removed, and will be invalid at M65. You should remove it. See for more details.
Can you confirm that you have 3rd party cookies enabled in Chrome? (settings>advanced>content settings>cookies>block third party cookies should be turned off so that third party cookies are allowed).
Similar issue. I have access to my activity log but I can no longer send tracked emails. When I draft an email none of the normal checkboxes that are usually there appear and the send button is the standard blue "Send" button instead of the orange "Send Tracked Email" button. Also the icon that appears in my Gmail inbox page (see attached screenshot) has been grayed out and when I click on it I'm prompted to login into my Hubspot account which then starts this endless cycle of me logging, going to my dashboard, then almost instantly getting logged out and prompted to login again. Definetely looking forward to a solution. I appreciate the help!
Thanks for the response. I do have 3rd Party Cookies enabled. I did try the solution in the thread you sent however it did not solve the problem. I can access my dashboard and activity log just fine but I still cannot send track emails. The icon on my gmail page is still gray and still prompts me to sign in whenever I click it, and when I'm drafting an email I still do not have the option to send a tracked email. When I click the gray icon and sign in my gmail refreshes, however nothing changes.
I have my hubspot extension icon lit up in orange but now I have no checkboxes for tracking and logging on Hubspot and cannot get them to appear. This has happened before and after some time they reappeared though I do not know why or how. This time they do not seem to be coming back
Been getting the same issue for months. Thought I was the only one. It used to work and it suddenly stopped. On Chrome/Mac. Here is a screenshot of the console. I tried logging in dozens of times and it just does not want to accept it. Even added the appropriate sites as cookes. Please help!
Our browser extension (previously called Toggl Button) for Chrome and Firefox lets you track time in your favorite web tools and wherever you are on the web. The Toggl Track browser extension integrates with 100+ popular tools:
You can find the Browser Extension for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox on our web application's integrations page, simply head over to Integrations on your navigation panel and click on the Browser extensions tab at the top.
Microsoft Edge (as well as other Chromium-based browsers) have support for Chromium extensions, so you can use the Toggl Track browser extension on those browsers by downloading it from the Chrome Store.
Under Integrations settings, you can enable the apps in which you would like to see the Toggl Track extension button to start a timer. You can enable or disable all integrations with one click as well.
Note: When tracking time by clicking the Toggl Track button in another app, we will match the Project name (if a matching one exists in Track), and add any tags and description from the webapp you're using as well. We do not add tasks, these can be added manually.
Set a reminder to track time during specified hours of the day. You can define the time frame when this is active (e.g. your work hours) and the length of time necessary to trigger a reminder. The notification to track time will look like this.
We recently had to perform a mandatory update to our Browser Extensions (both at Chrome Web Store and Firefox Browser Add-ons) in order to comply with Manifest v3. Manifest v3 is currently not supporting custom scripts on the user's side.
We acknowledge this is an important limitation for the Track Extension and we are coordinating with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox support to provide us with an alternative solution to the earliest possible.
First, if you already have configuration profiles for Google Chrome but they don't include the ExtensionInstallForcelist key, then you can deploy this new configuration profile side-by-side with yours and it won't conflict.
This one is for Okta, but you can use it as a guide. On your Mac, enable Developer mode in Google Chrome and you should see the extension's ID. Replace the one at the beginning of the value below, just before the semi-colon.
@talkingmoose, sure, I can find the extension ID, no problem, and I found the payload for the Config Profile.... but I'm not sure how to create the plist. I see the current plist for Google Chrome has values in it already.... does the plist I create overwrite those? Is the plist modified everytime I use Chrome?
@SoundCloud, not sure what you mean by "force_installed" and "normal_installed". If you're referring to the old MCX settings of "Once", "Often" or "Always", Apple and Jamf only support profiles as "Always".
On the below link, It is mentioned that we could use the ExtensionSettings policy and use the installation mode normal_installed, which in this case will allow users to remove the extension if they want, however I couldn't make it running.
Thanks for your help @talkingmoose quick question from me. Our proxy blocks access to the Chrome Web Store so any download of a chrome extension is blocked. Any idea what I would need to package and deploy along with the above Config Profile to make the extension work?
@gkofos, I'm not sure how easy Google is making manual deployments with the latest versions of Chrome. From what I've read, they're making it more difficult. My advice is to not fight any software developer when they're steering you down a certain path (in this case installing directly from the Chrome store).
