    I'm trying to lighten up my chrome (with all its extensions and addons) and trying to find out which app/extension uses most disk space. Is there any way to find and sort apps by this criteria?

    How can I disable chrome extensions (when Chrome is unresponsive)?
  • John

    I'm having a problem where Chrome won't ever fully start (cursor just spins indefinitely and can't use the any menus or buttons in Chrome). I think it is due to an extension I installed but since the browser is unresponsive, I can't do anything through Chrome itself.

    Is there a flag to disable all extensions for Chrome or a config file I can manually edit to disable extensions so I can figure out what exactly is causing it? I'd prefer to not have to blow it away and reinstall as I might just install the offending extension again (assuming that is what is causing the issue).

    I could be wrong, but starting up in incognito mode prohibits Chrome from using extensions automatically (I think). You might be able to start with the --incognito flag and uninstall the offending extension. Let me know if that works!

    You can press Shift+Esc to get Task Manager in chrome, and then kill the required extension.
