Chrome 53 breaks HTTPS Everywhere

[Terry Ganzi]

If you are a Google Chrome user on the stable channel, you may have noticed that some of your extensions stopped working with the update to Chrome 53.

While any number of extensions may be affected by this, the issue has been confirmed for HTTPS Everywhere and Privacy Badger.

Here is what is happening:

The extensions install fine when you click on the install button on Google's official Chrome Web Store. You see the icon in the toolbar for a brief moment, but it is removed automatically after a second or so.

The extension is at that point no longer enabled, and you may verify that by opening the extensions manager in the browser. Load chrome://extensions/ in the browser's address bar to do so.

The same happens if the extension is already installed as it will show up as corrupted as well.

Still...Chrome is one of the most stable browsers out there. Don´t like it because of this (probably will be fixed soon) is kind of ignorance but alright. Btw are you sure is browsers fault and not extension developer that didn´t update it to be compatible? Just asking...
Sorry Horrible english.

What is wrong with built in Reset options?

This tool is a more effective, I have seen it work when the built in option failed on more occasions than I can count on two hands. Also, there is more than one way to skin a cat, and what you may do some may not.

If I remember correctly after every other major Firefox update, a lot of Addons stopped working. It happens once with Chrome and here comes the Anti-Google bandwagon.

I have personally never been a fan. Always Mozilla here.

All is about point of view and needs; you like tuning your browser ? go FF ; you prefer solid security features , go Chrome.
