Step 2: Select Google Chrome, and you will see the option uninstall, select it, and uninstall the application.
Method 2: Activate your extensions one-by-one
There is still the chance that you are getting the same error. The reason may be because one extension is preventing other maybe two extensions are relatable. So when one is trying to work, the other is preventing. So you need to activate each one by one and check if the issue is resolved or not. You can also try by uninstalling each one by one and checking.
Method 3: Clear your browser cache
You need to clear the cache of Google Chrome by going through the following steps.
Open Chrome menu and navigate to Preferences > Advanced > Privacy and Security.
Click on the Clear Browsing Data option.
But remember the following option must be selected
- Choose “Since the beginning of time.”
- Cookies and other site and plugin data
- Hosted app data
Then click on the “Clear Browsing Data
Now again, you need to preference and then about Chrome to check whether your Chrome is updated or not and if not, then update to a newer version. Now exit and reopen Chrome to see if it worked or not.
Method 4: Try Reinstalling your Extension
Again you need to go to preference and then extension, and you need to remove the extension, and it will ask to confirm, so “confirm” it so to remove the extension. Now you need to again install the extension as before and check if it worked or not.
If the extension you are using is local or unpublished, then you have to enable the developers option to install the extension.
Method 5: Update Extension
If you did each and every step as I told in the previous steps and still your problem is not fixed, then maybe this step will work as in major cases it worked. Perhaps the extension you are using is tracked by its usable website, and they have fixed the method, so you must update your extension so they get its help. Usually, the extension update automatically, but you should manually go to the chrome web store or wherever you have downloaded the extension and download the newer version.
Method 6: Run Google Chrome Malware Scanner
Significant of us must have used the antivirus in our Windows and MacBook, but powerful of us have never known that Google Chrome has its built-in malware scanner to remove if Chrome gets infected with malicious and harmful files. We need to use that option to remove any bugs from our browser and recheck the browser and extension if it worked or not.
- Open Google Chrome browser.
- Tap on the three-dot menu and select Settings.
- Scroll down and click Advanced to open all settings.
- Scroll down to the Reset and clean up section and click Clean up computer. That will open a window where you can launch the Chrome malware scan. Just select the Find button to start the scan. After a successful scan, try to load the extension to see if it’s working as expected or not.
Method 7: Reset All Chrome Settings
This will be our last method by resetting the google chrome settings so that may be if any setting is preventing extension from workings as many times when tweaking the wrong settings can eventually cause issues with extensions, especially when you are playing with beta features. so follow the step
- Launch Chrome and open Settings.
- Scroll down and click Advanced to open all settings.
- Scroll down to the Reset and clean up section and click Restore settings to their original defaults. There you will get a window with a warning stating that it’ll reset all Chrome settings. Just select Reset settings to continue.
