Chrome: Disable All Extensions in One Click (Finally!)

Chrome: Disable All Extensions in One Click (Finally!)

 TL;DR

  • Google appears to be working on a couple of changes to the Extensions menu.
  • Activating a flag in version 125.0.6398.0 introduces a toggle that turns all extensions off in one fell swoop.
  • The flag also seems to add dynamic colors and remove the pin icon.

There's good news for Chrome users who juggle a ton of extensions! Google might be adding a feature that lets you disable them all in one click. This news comes from Gamer Stones, who spotted a new toggle switch in Chrome's extension menu. By enabling a hidden setting (search for "chrome://flags/#extensions-menu-access-control" in your address bar), you can access this toggle. It essentially acts as a master switch, turning off every active extension at once. This could be a real time-saver if you ever need to troubleshoot a website issue or simply want a clean browsing slate.


In simpler terms, the upcoming update might let you turn on and off extensions directly from the menu, without needing to go into settings. This would be a more precise way to manage your extensions compared to the current system where you can only pin them to the toolbar.

Google Chrome is getting a makeover! Enabling a flag in the browser unlocks a new design based on Material You, Google's design language that emphasizes personalization. The update brings softer edges with rounded corners and dynamic colors that adapt to your taste. This makeover is expected to be available on Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, Fuchsia, and Lacros.

On Android, Chrome might soon get a helpful feature called "Tab Declutter" that automatically archives tabs you haven't used for a while. This feature was recently discovered in the code, hinting at a possible future rollout.
