@ihvarfner -- Thanks for posting the issue. Could you also please provide the sample extension to reproduce the issue. That would help us in test and triage the issue further.

Thanks in advance.

Tested on Google Chrome Stable #59.0.3071.115, reported Chrome #60.0.3112.72 and Canary on 62.0.3166.0 on Windows 10 & 7 and noticed that upon clicking on "Learn more" link user is redirected to chrome://extensions page. Attached the screen-cast of the same.

Steps followed:
1. Navigated to chrome://extensions and enabled developer mode.
2. Loaded an unpacked extension (Sample used is attached).
3. Exit the Chrome browser.
4. Launch the browser.
5. Observe the Dialog displayed on right top of the browser screen.
6. Click on the link "Learn more".

Observations -- User is redirected to chrome://extensions screen. And the same behavior is observed from Chrome #45.0.2454.85.

@ihvarfner -- Are you suggesting that the user should be redirected to "https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2811969" upon clicking on "Learn more" link in the dialog appeared.

Please let us know if we have missed anything.

Thanks.

@pnangunoori Yes, that help article is very relevant to the dialog. But I've looked through the code and it seems like there is a "chrome::kRemoveNonCWSExtensionURL" URL constant that links to that article through a redirecting URL (https://support.google.com/chrome/?p=ui_remove_non_cws_extensions). That one should probably be used instead.

That means line 62 of "chrome/browser/extensions/dev_mode_bubble_delegate.cc" should be changed to

>  return GURL(chrome::kRemoveNonCWSExtensionURL);

Looking through the git log it seems like this issue has always existed (if learn more wasn't implemented outside the browser/extensions or wasn't using URL constants).

The issue is also platform and arch independent.

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding requester "pnangunoori@chromium.org" to the cc list and removing "Needs-Feedback" label.

Thanks, ihvarfner@!  I agree that this is a pretty unhelpful link.  The one you mentioned (https://support.google.com/chrome/?p=ui_remove_non_cws_extensions) is certainly better, but also not quite accurate, since that's referring to disabled extensions (and we didn't disable any with the dev mode dialog).

We have a few options here:
- Use https://support.google.com/chrome/?p=ui_remove_non_cws_extensions, since it's reasonably close.
- Find (or make) a better link (jawag@, do you know of any?)
- Remove the learn more button entirely.  0.35% of users click on this when the bubble is shown.

+a few people for thoughts.

friendly ping -> ainslie@.  Any opinions here?

+also srahim@, since if we can clean up the language in the bubble, maybe it's more likely we don't *need* a learn more link :)

I'm not aware of any better link. Given the low traffic, removing the link SGTM especially if we can make the bubble wording more helpful.

Archiving old bugs that have only received trivial updates for some time.

If you feel this issue should still be addressed, feel free to reopen it or to file a new issue. Thanks!

We really should fix this.

If no one has objections, I'm going to just remove the learn more link in a couple days.

Removal SGTM
