Why is Chrome not allowing me to enable an extension?
If you see a message saying "Extensions Disabled," it's because Chrome has turned off one or more of your extensions to keep your data safe while you're browsing the Internet. The extensions that Chrome turned off either didn't come from the Chrome Web Store or were determined unsafe.
Can Chrome extensions be detected?
“Chrome extensions can be detected by fetching their web-accessible resources — the files inside an extension that web pages can access,” z0ccc explained. “The detected extensions can be used to track you through browser fingerprinting.”
