Google Chrome extensions

Yeah i noticed that as well, most annoying. But i use this search engine...which despite it uses google, it does not help Google.

Thanks for info. I am glad I am not alone. I thought it could somehow relate to the localized Store but now it is clear it has nothing to do with this and it is rather a common issue. Wish Google has sorted out this soon.

Does anyone know if there is a chrome extension that allows for selective cookie control? I want to keep the two-factor cookies while clearing everything else on exit.

It looks like a have a Chrome and Dragon Extension for Google Wallet that can't be seen under Extensions....I can't find it in Chrome itself, but I found it listed in CCleaner (Tools>Startup>Google Chrome). You can disable it from there it looks like.

 

Thank you very much for that tip Sordid, i found a few very nice extensions there.

My new list of Google Chrome extensions i use.

 

Only valuable google extension is delete any traces of google products on my machine.

 

Your list of companies to avoid is sorely lacking, especially if you're using a Windows machine.

 

Why does Adblock Plus for Chrome block less ads than Adblock Plus for Firefox? Same filter subscriptions, same notebook ...

 

Chrome API for extensions is limited compared with Firefox.

Pay-for browser extensions delivered through the browser manufacturer's official store seems consistent with the business model trends in recent years. I expect we'll even, eventually, see this happening in the Mozilla ecosystem as well. It may become much more difficult tough to avoid explicitly linking your browser and extensions to your real identity

Perhaps it would be wise for more people to learn to write extensions and for everyone to fight for robust sideloading capabilities.

 

Safe Search – When performing a web search, this feature implements the Avira URL Cloud™ technology to scan ahead in the search results and inform you if any of them contain malicious or potentially harmful content. If it does, that link is clearly marked as “unsafe”, and you are encouraged not to visit it......https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/avira-browser-safety/flliilndjeohchalpbbcdekjklbdgfkk

 

Does anyone use this chrome extension..Avast Browser Security and Web Reputation Plugin.....https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/avast-online-security/gomekmidlodglbbmalcneegieacbdmki

 

Yes I do and no problems observed. Coupled with Adguard extension it's a good combo.

 

I just started to use it. Already it conflicted with my Adblock extension on one search and i got the colored 3 bar icon to let me know that Adblock could not do something it wanted to.

 

Only in IE, redundant on Chrome.

 

Automated download check VT = Secure Downloader

EDIT: it checks the download URL automatically, not the file itself

You could always disable Safe Price in the settings. Anyway I uninstalled this extension yesterday after having been causing a huge CPU usage. Adguard does everything and even better than Avast extension, except the search results rating but it doesn't bother as I know that even if I stumble upon a bad site, Adguard stands up its job well.
