Disable all extensions on localhost in Chrome

Question

Is there a way to disable all the extensions I have installed in Google Chrome v26 only for http://localhost/?

The reason is, some of the extensions inject HTML and load images into the page, like Feedly and Readability, which I don't want to see when I testing pages.

Different answer, but I use Chrome Profiles for this. I have my "Normal" profile, then a dev profile with no extensions, and just switch between the two. I haven't been able to find exactly what you asked for. – Nolita

Not a bad idea! I'll use it till I find any other better solution! Thanks! :D – Messer

Answer 1

@vcsjones commented that you can use Chrome Profiles to accomplish this. It's not disabling extensions, rather it's creating a separate profile which will load a different extension manifest.

Great idea. Just wished he posted it as an answer instead.

What you can do with this separate profile is download extensions you need exclusively for dev: Postman, React Dev Tools, etc.

Answer 2

You can enable this flag on chrome chrome://flags/#extensions-menu-access-control. Upon enabling, visit the site in which you want to disable all extensions, on the top right of chrome you will se the extensions icon (looks like a puzzle icon). Click it you will see an option to toggle off all extensions or each one by one.

This should be the accepted answer in 2024. No need to create separate profile! – Pericranium
