The Google Chrome and Extension thread

**spicoli** · September 8th, 2013, 02:48 AM

I saw no thread for Chrome so I started one. (Mods if you think that it makes more sense to combine this thread with another one please do so)

I have used Chrome for a long time and recently had some serious issues which I was able to fix.

I was bombarded with adware and my searches were being re-directed to various ad sites. I tried running Norton and spybot against this stuff with no help.

I then went to Chrome help. The first suggestion was to delete all toolbars - this took care of all of the adware. Chrome then suggested deleting all extensions which finished off the redirecting.

End result a happy camper. The anti virus and anti malware software that I used apparently does not view adware or re-direction "software" as malware. I don't understand this.

I hope that my solution help others.

the nsa-gold-user-plugin for chrome gives you the opportunity to gain a high-priority place in Maryland's critical ip-stack. LIFO for free!

Hi Hos - What the heck does that mean? Too much jargon for me if you are serious (I'm so clueless about tech stuff I can't tell)

**hos** · September 11th, 2013, 02:32 PM

it's cynical serious

there is no such plugin, but with chrome you won't need any plugin to be closer to the nsa-fuckers. we know Google search stores your search keywords, what do you think what an entire google browser will do for your privacy?

I'll believe ad-blockers have been totally neutered when it happens

If they dont work in Chrome you use
S R Ware Iron (chrome with privacy issues removed)

As for add-ons / extensions - be careful what you use

The google playstore has been caught with its pants down several times now with
popular apps turning out to be data harvesters

A question about the "no-script lite" extension for Google Chrome.

After happily using "no-script lite" for over a year, it appears to have suddenly developed a mind of its own. I have always had it set to notify me when a site was attempting to run scripts, and I would then decide whether to add that site to my white list.

This is the icon I normally see in the upper right-hand corner of my screen.

This morning when I opened Chrome and began surfing, every site was automatically allowed to run scripts. I could not figure out how to find my white-list, or how to change the settings. This is the new icon I saw in the upper right-hand corner.

Eventually I gave up, deleted the Extension, restarted my Chrome browser, and re-installed no-script lite. It returned in the "User's Choice" format that I prefer.

So . . . . .

- Why did no-script suddenly change?

- If it happens again, how can I change it back to "User's Choice"?
