Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/66.0.3359.181 Chrome/66.0.3359.181 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. I installed the extension long time ago. And didn't check it for a long time too. 2. Now it's not in my installed extensions list in chromium settings, and it doesn't work. 3. The chrome web store shows it as installed. 4. I've tried restarting chromium after deleting ~/.config/chromium/ dir. 5. After logging in to my google account (after p. 4) pp. 2-3 are still the same. What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? If an extension (any of them - not only this) 'is installed' on the chrome web store website, it should also 'be installed' in the browser preferences. And vice versa. Now I'm unable both to install and to uninstall it. WebStore page: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/onlinecorrector/oepkillaonloipaeamihfnhfjpeddple Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 66.0.3359.181 Channel: stable OS Version: Mint 18.3 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 30.0 r0

Thanks for filing the issue! Able to reproduce the issue on reported version 66.0.3359.181 and on the latest version 69.0.3481.0 using Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 10 and Mac 10.13.1 As the issue is seen from M60(60.0.3112.0) considering it as non-Regression and marking it Untriaged. Note: Onlinecorrector isn't seem to be found under chrome://extension as it is not directly available in chrome webstore rather it's an Add-On to Google Docs.

This actually isn't an extension - it's a docs addon. These are actually (confusingly) very different types of things, and I don't believe docs addons have any real integration into the browser (which is why e.g. deleting your profile data dir didn't do anything). This is definitely confusing. Over to markchang@ and +jawag@ for webstore triage, though I'm not sure that's the best place to surface this - feel free to pass along. In meantime, you can audit installed addons by: - Opening a document, spreadsheet, or presentation. - Click Add-ons in the (docs) toolbar -> Manage add-ons. Very frustratingly, I see no way of *uninstalling* once they've been added.

As Devlin noted, these work very differently and the source of add-ons being the chrome web store (at least in appearance) is adding to the confusion. Updating title and marking as feature request. |
