Sure, there is an extension available that lets you disable all Chrome extensions with a single click, but this extension will only be helpful when you able to launch the browser. But if Chrome browser denies to load and crashes due to an installed extension then what a Chrome user should do?. Well a reader experienced this situation and posted a comment on blog post Chrome about:conflicts page that tells conflicting software with Chrome as “I tried to open chrome. it always crashes. how to disable extensions when chrome not opening?”
Disabling All installed Chrome extensions at once on startup of browser
The problem here is Chrome doesn’t offers safe mode like to Firefox which lets you troubleshoot issues in Firefox browser by disabling all or some add-ons. But Google doesn’t offers safe mode for its browser. But don’t worry!a command line switch is available for this purpose.
What you need to do is
1. Right click on Chrome shortcut on desktop and select “properties”
2. In the Target field at the end of Chrome.exe Add “–disable-extensions” without quotes (two single hyphens) and click Apply and Ok to apply the switch.
3. Now you can able to open Chrome browser.
This only partially solves the problem. I recommend if you’ve trouble in finding which extension is culprit
- Close chrome browser
- and navigate to Chrome extensions folder mentioned below and delete all extension related folders manually.
- Chrome installed extensions directory or folder in Windows : C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalGoogleChromeUser DataDefaultExtensions
With this post you can able to launch the browser if chrome continually crashing due to an extension.
