I ended up unnistalling my OS...

I am using Debian Linux and the chrome extension does not work for me (but Firefox one works fine).

I have followed following steps to disable the chrome extension:

• Change /usr/share/chrome-token-signing/ee.ria.chrome-token-signing.policy.json file as below:

  {
  "ExtensionInstallWhitelist": [
    "ckjefchnfjhjfedoccjbhjpbncimppeg"
  ]
  }

  (Whitelisting should be fine. Do not delete this file because it has 3 symlinks and the will be broken)

• Edit ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Preferences and remove all "ckjefchnfjhjfedoccjbhjpbncimppeg" keys. This is a JSON file so you might want to use a JSON aware editor. I removed all such keys since I don't know what each of them meant.

Don't forget to backup files you change.

This solution enabled me to disable the extension. If in the future it starts working, it looks like I will also be able to choose specific sites that it has access to.

I hope the development team re-evaluate the decision to force install the plugin. Target audience should have enough technical skills to be able to install and manage a browser extension.

I am using MacOS.

To get id of the Managed by the organization warning, these instructions helped. System Preferences -> Profiles -> Remove the Estonian profile. This will clear chrome://policy/ content.

But I could not remove the extension. Removing lines from json or deleting extension folder did not help. It reinstalls the extension automatically.

I'm also using MacOs and cannot find a way to uninstall this plugin.

I find that totally unacceptable, and will flag this as an abuse on the Chrome Webstore.

sudo profiles -R -p ee.ria.chrome-token-signing -u 56789 sudo rm –rf /Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/External\ Extensions/ckjefchnfjhjfedoccjbhjpbncimppeg.json \

"Target audience should have enough technical skills to be able to install and manage a browser extension."

Unfortunate as it is, they don't. Imagine feedback on scale 10:1 when people desire automatic install/enable of extension.

I guess folks would not be that unhappy if the README provided clear instructions on how to uninstall this.

Seems that sometimes it does not help if you remove enterprise policy

https://www.howtogeek.com/410270/how-to-remove-a-chrome-extension-installed-by-enterprise-policy-on-windows/

Start Fresh If you still see an extension that’s “Installed by Enterprise Policy,” then there’s only one last thing you can do: burn your computer and start fresh.

After an update, this extension made a comeback again and hijacked my chrome.

This time these two commands worked:

sudo rm /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/ee.ria.chrome-token-signing.policy.json
sudo rm /usr/share/google-chrome/extensions/ckjefchnfjhjfedoccjbhjpbncimppeg.json

I am using Debian/Linux.

As usual; don't forget to make copies of anything you delete.

You can alway uninstall the policy and extension. Apt remove chrome-token-signing-policy Apt remove token-signing-chrome

I don't want to uninstall the extension altogether. I want to be able to disable it in chrome. (I use firefox for signing so I still need it installed)

[metsma]

You can keep still the token-signing-firefox extension

[muhuk]

@metsma looks like it is possible to remove chrome bits but keep the firefox plugin. Thanks.

I still wish the chrome extension could be managed by the user, I still think this is not the user friendly way to go.

By the way you need to remove open-eid and carefully mark DigiDoc client packages to avoid deletion. I haven't executed the uninstall yet, but this isn't a convenient way.

There goes nothing...

[muhuk]

OK, I can confirm above method works. Thanks again @metsma !

Ccan someone please answer my question in very simple terms.

How can I completely uninstall this extension on my MacOS?

[metsma]

sudo profiles remove --identifier ee.ria.chrome-token-signing sudo rm -rf \ /Library/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/chrome-token-signing.app \ /Library/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/ee.ria.esteid.json \ /Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/External\ Extensions/ckjefchnfjhjfedoccjbhjpbncimppeg.json \ /Library/Application\ Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts/ee.ria.esteid.json

Instructions are available here: https://github.com/open-eid/chrome-token-signing/wiki/Extension-removal.

So in summary, the msiexec /x does not work on the .msi, but you have to launch the msi file and select remove from the UI.
