All my extensions got deleted, suddently, twice #873

Closed erm3nda closed 4 years ago

erm3nda commented 4 years ago

Describe the bug All my extensions got deleted, suddently, twice. -Adblocker -Wappalizzer -Video DownloadHelper

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install extensions if you have the enough patience to unpack then install them from chrome://extensions
  2. Use your browser and wait
  3. See some ad, and be aware that your adBlocker and all other extensions got DELETED
  4. Enjoy

Expected behavior All extensions working whole life :-)

Screenshots Unneeded

Environment (please complete the following information):

Additional context I would love to stick to this browser, but i can't assume that i should reinstall those extensions everytime they got deleted.

Regards.

Does this happen if you don't install all your extensions? How often does it happen?

We've been having a variety of strange bugs unique to Windows, including extensions, so it could be Windows-specific. Does anyone else experience this?

I remember that the first time only 2 extensions got deleted, the later got deleted too after try again :-) It may preserver extensions for 2 days, and delete them again. This happened to me 3 times in a week. Lucky me i am Linux user, so i think that I'm not gonna hit the same problem never.

I would love to tell you what happened with Linux, but after 2h of compile, i had a very strong problem with libva. I regret to a older version, but i had then a problem with libicu. I could then ... symlink it, but i got extremely bored about the process so i im just testing other browsers.

I'll be back here if i decide to try again.

Best regards. ~~ Self signed ~~

When the extension gets removed from the browser, are the extension files still in the filesystem? Also, do any other browser settings get reset?

You're probably trying to build a variant of ungoogled-chromium that isn't compatible with your distro. If none of the variants match your distro, you can build the Portable Linux version. There are more details in the documentation. Anyways, this is off topic.

  • No, extensions got deleted on the filesystem.

Then it is unlikely to be caused by ungoogled-chromium. AFAIK even regular Chrome/Chromium will not modify the unpacked extension files. If you have some evidence that this is caused by ungoogled-chromium, I'd like to know.

Usually whenever something else removes the unpacked extension files, Chromium will automatically remove the extension's entry from the extensions page.

  • Maybe, rolling release always have latest packages and sometimes this happens.

In this case, Portable Linux might be best for your use-case. It has very few dependencies on system libraries.

Thank you.

  • Haha. Maybe Windows Defender kill them? I really don't understand, and happened twice.

Depending where you put it, Windows may be automatically removing your files. It's quite annoying. Also, Windows Defender is quite a complicated piece of software...
