Chrome on Windows disables non-web store HTTPS Everywhere on restart #819

Chrome no longer allows any outside of webstore extensions, due to lots of malware abuse. You can sorta keep them enabled by turning on Developer Mode (you need to actually use the features of developer mode -- otherwise chrome will warn you & disable developer mode). You can also install them via a Win. GPO. |

See: http://blog.chromium.org/2013/11/protecting-windows-users-from-malicious.html There are some alternatives, though none seem applicable here: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/external_extensions |

There are two options to workaround this. One is extracting the CRX to a new folder in the computer and use programing mode to load the extension from the folder. Another one is, the one I use for archival purposes, download the CRX from Chrome webstore using "Give me CRX": https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/give-me-crx/acpimoebmfjpfnbhjgdgiacjfebmmmci Apparently there is some method of certificate authentication in CRX files and those downloaded from eff's website mismatch the copies at google's servers.

Closing this since ~unfixable -- Google has worked hard to block non-webstore installed extensions due to malware. |

Hi jsha, Version: 2016.4.4 Should do just fine! I hope this helps. :-) |
|
But can't access Google domain in China:( |

i found HTTPS Everywhere 2016.9.1 corrupted in google chrome version |
|
@ChamZank - I found a workaround for this latest issue. With the extension installed, go to the Chrome Webstore page for HTTPS Everywhere. There will be prompt saying that "This extension has been disabled in Chrome" with a button to enable it. Enable it from there and it should work. |
|
not work.. |
|
Try to delete extention and install it again with Chrome Webstore. Then enable it as described above. [chrome version 53.0.2785.113 m (64-bit)] |

@ChamZank 我也有同样的问题！不排除扩展bug |

Steps to reproduce:
Expected result:
HTTPS Everywhere stays installed.
Actual result:
On next startup, a notice appears in the upper right saying "Unsupported extensions disabled. To make Chrome safer, we disabled some extensions that aren't listed in the Chrome Web Store and may have been added without your knowledge.
On the Extensions page, HTTPS Everywhere is greyed out, disabled, and the checkbox to re-enable it is greyed out. Enabling developer mode doesn't fix it, nor does dragging in the .crx again. Deleting the extension and dragging back in the .crx works until the next restart.
We should ask Google about this.
