Basically you should say that you have a backup since your Chromebook is fully synced with your Google account

Sorry about the wait the current extentions were ones from the original factory install. Thanks for the info though.
EDIT would an adblocker be useful at all for a chromebook. So far there is no risk on viruses or Malvertising. Only use it for Drive, Gmail, and here.

Adblocker is still useful no matter what platforms you have, because it can ease your browsing and any pop-ups that can interfere to your surfing.
Remove AdBlock, here are some of your posts.

Search the Chrome Web Store using keywords, check if compatible and install.

Can you please remove the links of these posts or at least the first one. I feel like I have had a little bit of a target on my back. I am sorry if at any point I did seem offensive. I just wish not for youtube and other sites to become mandatory subscription. The first link I have deleted all my posts.
Thank you.
It wasn't a targeted response, but more about you saying Why You Shouldn't Use Ad-Blockers.

It's nice to see another Chrome OS user in this forum, ha ha.
I have also just upgraded to version 50 and it's looking good right now.
How about trying Bitdefender Traffic light extension?
I've seen it in some of the config around here.

UPDATE changed my search engine from Google to Goodsearch
Goodsearch is a site where every search you make it gives a penny to the cause of your choice. Hopefully my security or speed of the chromebook won't be affected.
Removed Click & Clean seemed like a good concept but I would just have to go to settings to remove everything. No need for extension.

UPDATE: Changed back to Google had been having internet issues maybe going back to default would be a good idea.
Updated to 50.0.2661.103 from 50.0.2661.91. Normally Chrome OS checks for updates automatically but the last few times I have manually checked and installed this updates. Why are they not appearing normally? I do not believe I am using a developer version.
