I've developed an extension for Google Chrome. It does some cross-domain httprequests, messaging and inserts an iframe into web pages.
After testing it without any problems on Linux, Mac and Windows (XP and 7), I installed it on a colleague's Windows XP pc. After opening 2 or 3 pages, Chrome crashed with the Dutch equivalent of the "Aw, Snap!" page.
After that it kept crashing regularly. Restarting Chrome didn't help. Even after removing the extension it crashed occasionally, though not as often. the colleague says Chrome has never crashed on him before, but then again, he hardly ever uses it.
When running chrome from the command-line with logging enabled, I see the following message:
[1744:628:0703/101212:ERROR:gpu_info_collector_win.cc(98)] Can't retrieve a valid WinSAT assessment.
[4744:4272:0703/090810:ERROR:textfield.h(162)] NOT IMPLEMENTED
Could this be caused (or exacerbated) by my extension? How can I be sure that this is just a one-of and will not crash the browsers of a lot of other users?
Thanks in advance for any help or insights.

Well, your application files are corrupted. App files contain important settings, configurations which you need to be restored again.
Click the Start button, select Run. Type the below path and press ENTER:
C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
Delete all the files present in this directory and restart Google Chrome. More solutions here.

It seems like there is a memory leak in our add-in listing page because whenever I open that link, my browsers starts running out of memory, eventually bringing the system down to a crawl. Is there any specific element in the app configuration that might be triggering this problem? If I open other add-on listings, there's no such a problem. I tried different browsers on both macOS and Windows, with the same result.
The problem seems to be in the Youtube link for the app, because once I removed it, the listing started loading automatically.
I am trying to price out various azure services and when I add them to the calculator and make changes the estimate does not update.
I have tried this in Edge, IE, Chrome, Firefox (normal browsing and Private) and I get the same results.
I also ran CCleaner and removed all of the files for each browser.
The calculator did work a few days ago.
Any ideas?
I had the same problem. A solution that works for me is to open a new InPrivate window from the Edge browser. (A new private window from Firefox did not solve the problem).
Perhaps the problem is related to cookies? I have not tested after deleting all cookies. #jake, when you used CCleaner, was it set to delete cookies or just cached data and files?
(For what it is worth, in the Firefox developer console I see several warnings related to failed loading of JS scripts. I can't say if such a failure is the cause of the problem, but it looks like Microsoft needs to do better testing of the calculator page.)
After yet another reboot of my macbook, chrome stopped loading my webapp.
It returns literally nothing in browser window and the only thing i managed to find is that requests in chrome's timeline has status "cancelled".
If I'm trying to get there from another website (by changin url and hitting "return" button), it also does nothing, it doesn't even try to reload page.
Other browsers load it fine atm.
I've received this report from a user about couple of weeks ago, but now i've got it myself, so I assume the problem is in my server.
Recently, i've found that my android phone also can't access the website from chrome browser. The behaviour is the same. However, android default browser has access.
What could that be? Where should i look?
I'd provide more information, but there is no error codes or messages of any kind, so i have no idea what information could help in this question.
Also, i have a chrom browser extension (similar to Pocket), which also is unable to access server. The notable difference is that extension uses Socket.io only.
There were no recent code changes on server side except letsencrypt certificate renewal.
I've tried this:
server restart
different ip/locations (vpn and public access points)
chrome data cleanup / chrome version degrade / chrome reinstallation / chrome canary installation
tried to open server address directly - no difference
I have tried using the Tincr Chrome Extension now on Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) and it still does not seem to do the Live Reloading it claims to on its website when I am editing the file in an external editor. The Tin.cr website claims:
Any CSS or JavaScript changes you make in any editor reloads in Chrome
without refreshing the whole page
To explain further, I have tried installing this extension as an unpacked extension in Chrome with Developer Mode checked under chrome://chrome/extensions/ as suggested in the Tincr documentation. I have also tried installing this extension directly through the Chrome Web Store. The effect has been the same.
In terms of setting up Tincr, I have tried opening up my file locally without a web server using file://C:/htdocs/file.html which Tincr claims in its documentation it can read automatically without needing any setup, and also I have tried opening up my file via an Apache Web Server on localhost e.g. localhost/file.html and setting up the Project Type in Tincr as Http Web Server as suggested in the documentation, but both ways have been to no avail.
In terms of editing my local file, I have used a number of different external editors, for example, Geany on Ubuntu and Titanium Studio on Windows.
After editing the file in the editor I have left the page I am editing open in my Chrome browser with the Tincr plugin setup and enabled. However, after saving my file in the editor and looking to see if it live reloads in Chrome, nothing happens. The file simply stays the same. Again, to reiterate, this is happening in both Windows and Linux (Ubuntu).
And so my question is this: has anyone successful tried using this extension with an external editor and if so could you please detail the steps to get live reload to work as I'm beginning to think this may be a bug in the extension?
I think I may have an explaination. Having a look at the google groups for Tincr, it appears Tincr does not support html file refresh, and that it can only detect changes in either css or javascript.

I have an extension in the Chrome Webstore with ~400 000 users. Since a couple of months ago I have been getting e-mails from users whose extension has stopped working for them. They're basically just seeing the HTML page in the popup and options page. No content dynamically added by any JavaScript. After some helpful debugging from one user it appeared that the JavaScript files were gone. He sent me the following screenshot:
So what appears to happen is that the JS files become unreachable, or disappear. My guess is that this happen when an upgrade occurs. I haven't moved or changed the names of any files in any recent updates. No big changes have occurred at all.
I have solved this by sending instructions on how to find the extension on the hard drive, and attaching the extension files, so they manually themselves have to patch the extension. This always works. Now today, after receiving 4 e-mails within an hour with the same problem, I've had enough.
One user had all her extensions stop working at the same time. My guess being that this problem was the culprit. Me sending the patch to her solved the issue for my extension at least.
So my question to stackoverflow is: Has anyone else experienced this? This seems like quite a serious issue with Chrome. It started appearing around Chrome 20 and still happens with 22. My manifest version was prior to a couple of days ago 1.
