Cannot stop Chrome from starting up with the OS (macOS) because of the Passbolt add-on #161

Cannot stop Chrome from starting up with the OS (macOS) because of the Passbolt add-on

What happened

After installing the Passbolt add-on for Chrome, it is not possible to disable Chrome from starting at system startup. After disabling autorun and re-enabling Chrome, the autostart is set again and you can do it over and over again. Always the system setting will be restored after restarting Chrome. The only solution is to disable the Passbolt extension in Chrome, then everything with Chrome's autostart at system startup works as it should.

What you expected to happen

No effect of Passbolt extension on Chrome autostart

Thanks for the report @belkone, we'll investigate.

I was able to reproduce this issue on MacOS Ventura with Chrome 107.0.5304.110. It looks like chrome keeps being added to the OS login and this bug is referenced on the chromimum bugs reports platform.

This is an old bug (2012) which could have a final resolution with the next release of chromium as per the latest comment of Avi Drissman.

In another hand I was able to fix the issue on my side. Note that this workaround might change your security posture.

If you follow this steps, could you let us know this issue remains.

@Benj1er thanks for the information :) Meanwhile a new version of Chrome came out but didn't fix anything ^^ (since 2012 as you rightly noticed). Your solution seems to work ;) If it's not an issue directly related to the plugin I guess we can close this issue. thanks!
