Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Use Chrome 2. Watch Extensions Crash 3. Forced to click "reload crashed extension IF you catch it before the dialogue box crashes; poses a security risk. What is the expected behavior? Auto restart crashed extensions; esp important for security related extensions. What went wrong? Chrome does not have an option to auto reload crashed extensions forcing users to either click the ephemeral dialogue box or jump into the chrome hamburger menu, click extensions, locate crashed extension, and click "reload". An option to auto-reload crashed extensions would be very wise; WebStore page: Any extension Did this work before? No Chrome version: 70.0.3538.67 Channel: stable OS Version: OS X 10.13 Flash Version: none If there is a concern that crashes could re-occur multiple times causing some kind of memory issue, make it detect the time and only allow auto-reloading 3 times within a specific time frame.

If all icons have been hidden in the browser, users have no way of knowing if security extensions (or any extension) has crashed, if they are away from their browser. This can pose a serious security risk.

I had came back to my browser today, to find 2/3'rds of my security extensions disabled, but only noticed after youtube ad's re-appeared. This is technically more of a bug fix for a security risk than a feature request.

Because these crashes have become so frequent with the latest releases of Chrome browser... I see extensions crashing sometimes a dozen or more times a day. This is a bug issue, and having the ability to auto-reload extensions is the only solution I can think of for these bugs.

Some institutions require the use of paid subscriptions for certain features for security extensions on hundreds of computers serving tens of millions of customers financial exchanges. They cannot keep track of and re-enable these extensions always. Here is an example, sandblast extension for Chrome: https://www.checkpoint.com/customer-stories/edenred/ https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/check-point-sandblast-age/bnbpncoilnpdbcbfcegbjocobjppndlh?hl=en
