Some Chrome extensions cannot be removed #86

System Details

OS: WinXP Professional SP3 x86
Thorium-legacy Version: Thorium_SSE3_122.0.6261.168_WINXP_x32.zip
I started the batch file for Portable mode

Problem

Some Chrome extensions cannot be removed. When I do press the Remove button, just nothing happens
affected are: Chromium pdf Viewer, Google hangouts, Web Store
I am not sure whether it is related, but please notice that those that cannot be removed do also have their on-off-toggle-slider disabled (mentioning that just as an additional information)

The competing "Supermium" browser is not affected by that issue, (as) it ships more lightweight by default.

@JoachimHenze Read that comment. Supermium has these extensions, but they are normally hidden (because they can't be removed, and are only used to provide services to the browser). Thorium just unhides them for transparency, and so that they can be debugged. Ungoogled Chromium also does this.

Supermium isn't lighter weight or heavier weight than Thorium. They are about equal.

@gz83 I think we should put this behind a flag lol. Too many users keep making issues about this. That way it is hidden by default like Chromium/Chrome, but can still be enabled with a chrome://flags flag.

This seems like a good idea, but we need to make sure it doesn't introduce other problems.
