Anyone had this problem recently?

All my Chrome extensions vanished, including Https Everywhere, uBlock, etc for some unknown reason.
I've since re-installed them, but can anyone shed any light as to why they all vanished just like that? Didn't un-install them or anything like that, most peculiar (and my system's clean)
:eek:

You probably checked "ZAM > Settings > Advanced > Show All Browser Extensions" option?

In the latest version, we made it difficult to select this option and have added more information about it and also put a big warning. We apologize for the inconvenience.

This is a useful feature if our cloud AVs does not detect an annoying toolbar. With this option enabled, these toolbars can be reviewed and removed by experts.

Chrome syncs your settings between all your devices, so if you uninstalled or disabled extensions -- or installed new ones -- that can and will carry over to other devices, if you use the same Chrome identity. I have found the syncing of extensions to be a little inconsistent. Either that, or I still haven't figured out how exactly it works.

Check your list of extensions. They might still be there, and you just need to enable them.
