Download Hangouts Chrome Extension VERIFIED

Hangouts Chrome extension adds a button inside the browser to start it as a separate window. But I don't find a way to start that window without opening a Chrome window. (I use Firefox as default, rarely use Hangouts, don't want it in Firefox, and when I do use it I want only that window, not Chrome's.)

In all respects the two Hangouts windows (that of the extension and that off the app) look identical - have the same options and are the same thing. The only difference is that the extension window cannot be started with a launcher, that is: a command within a .desktop file. Installing the app creates the file ~/.local/share/applications/chrome-knipolnnllmklapflnccelgolnpehhpl-Profile_1.desktop with the content:

The idea would be to modify the Exec line so that it directs to the extension instead of the app. I can get the id of the extension: it is the one in the path where that extension is installed: ~.config/chromium/Default/Extensions/nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd; and I can confirm that with xprop applied to the window: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "crx_nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd", "Chromium-browser"

But simply replacing that ID would not work: the command /usr/bin/chromium-browser "--profile-directory=Default" --app-id=nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd would open the pagechrome://extensions/ instead of the extension window.

It seems the extension cannot be started with the --app-id argument (although Chrome installs applications and extensions at the same location: ~.config/chromium/Default/Extensions/.)

I have both extensions installed, but I have the second one, with the conversations in separate non-standard "flyup" windows disabled, because I find them painful from a window-management and workflow perspective.

But so far as I can tell, the only way to launch the first version of the extension is to set it to "launch on startup" (which is unreliable, and interacts weirdly with Chrome crashes), or go Settings>Extensions>Google Hangouts (desktop)>Details>Launch App (from the Chrome Web Store):

I used to use the hangouts chrome extension to make hangouts live in my system tray with the browser closed (while still running, also in the system tray) and just pop out chats as people message me, moving them to my left monitor. It was perfect. They just fit exactly where they needed to go and that was that.

We are using Chrome more and more and I have been asked to block extensions. Also, to remove certain ones that have been installed (google hangouts in particular to be removed). Just looking for some expert opinions. Thanks!

The current version of Chrome can be managed by using OS X's deprecated method of using Managed Preferences. You can write a plist file to "/Library/Managed Preferences/usershortname/com.google.Chrome.plist". Here's a sample script to block an extension (use on test machine first!):

If you want to whitelist an extension, you would use ExtensionInstallWhitelist instead of ExtensionInstallBlacklist. For more information on Google Chrome policies, see the Chromium project page or the [internal Chrome policy page](chrome://policy).

* You can find the extension ID of any extension by opening Google Chrome, navigating to Preferences > Extensions -> Check the box under "Development Mode" and the extension ID will appear under each installed extension.

I just tried an extension blacklist via config profile (pushed via JSS), seems to work fine....

even if the extension was previously installed, it will not work and no longer appear in the extensions list in chrome (after a relaunch)

Roadrunner2348: thank you so much for your response this morning. I'm rather new to JAMF, and finishing up at a workshop currently. Specifically, I'm looking to disable/kill Chrome extensions like Gom VPN, Betternet and Ultrasurf - could you explain to a novice like me how I might do that? Thanks!

To block specific extensions you need to grab the extension ID. Easiest way to do that is install the extension in chrome, then go to settings, extensions, and check the box at the top for developer mode, and you'll see the ID listed under each extension. You can then put these ID's in the blacklist with each id in its own string tags (see below)

Correct, we can block them through or Google Admin Console but that does not prevent them from logging into their own Google account and using the extensions feature that way. I was looking to blacklist known bad extensions.

You now also have the option of adding another user to your browser. Click on your name in the title bar, add a user. Then sign in, and add the chrome plugin. You'll end up with two instances of the plugin.

Only Google can say for sure, but it seems to me that it is likely there were two different extensions originally, and they've been able to merge the codebases. Perhaps one had been originally for Chromebooks and the other for Chrome on other OSes.

Woke up this morning to see that my Gmail and Hangouts images were all replaced with broken link images. Thought it might just be Gmail, but as it turns out, it was the Malwarebytes Extension. Have about five different extensions right now and that was the only one causing an issue. Any ideas on a fix for this?

Same here. For me it was almost all images within emails (Gmail) and almost all images within G Suite admin. I disabled all Chrome browser extensions and started adding them back one-at-a-time. The Malwarebytes browser extension was the culprit.

Hi folks, I've been trying to replicate this issue for several days and cannot, with either Chrome or Firefox, and Malwarebytes for Chrome/Firefox version 1.0.44. I have tried the exact version of Chrome (and Windows) that mdwpsyd listed above. Can you tell me anything more about how to make this happen? What exact URL do I need to go to? Are you using the most current extension version (1.0.44)?

By the way, how do I get version 1.0.44. When I go to the link provided in the pinned posting it takes me to the Chrome store which says I already have the extension installed. Would I need to uninstall my current version to install the new version? If so, would I lose all the sites I have added to my whitelist? That wouldn't be very friendly as I have 100's of sites added.

To be certain, I just now removed the Malwarebytes Browser Extension Beta 1.0.44 from Chrome browsers (73.0.3683.103) on a W10prox64 1809 17763.437 and a macOS Mojave 10.14.4 system. Then, the systems were restarted followed by re-installation of the v1.0.44 extension followed by another system restart on both platforms.

github.com/brave/brave-browser Unable to make calls in Hangouts extension opened 05:50PM - 19 Sep 19 UTC Brave-Matt DescriptionGoogle Hangouts extension installs and runs just fine except for the inability to make calls using it. Note that I can...

After a few hours, I found it was the third party cookies preventing it from working. To see this in action, I allowed third party cookies, removed the extension, added it from the Chrome Store, and was able to make a call as well as see the microphone and speakers. Went back to settings and blocked third party cookies, removed the extension, added it back and was back at square one with hangouts failing to connect.

@ChesterCheeser,

So we do have an issue logged for this already:

I am aware that Hangouts has a web interface ( ). However, any phone number that is given to the web interface is dialed by the extension (not by the web interface itself). So, interacting with the extension directly is more ideal.

Google+ Hangouts are one of the features of Google+, but you do not need to sign up for Google+ to access Hangouts. Google Hangouts Chrome extension allows you to access Hangouts from your browser. Google Hangouts extensions offer many appealing features. You can adjust the chat window size, minimize, maximize, and hide it. Google Hangouts is used to interact with people, share your updates, talk with people over video-call, and share photos, etc.

Remember when Chrome was new and fast and light and minimalist? The name Chrome was meant an in-joke to the UX jargon chrome, meaning the frame around an app. Chrome was just a frame to view the web. Those days are long gone. Now that Chrome has a plurality market share, Google is positioning it as an enhanced web experience, just like Microsoft did with IE. Chrome is a great browser but it also wants to be an operating system that has its own launcher and app ecosystem. It literally is an operating system when packaged as Chrome OS. Chrome is a large application these days.

If you kind of squint at the Hangouts Google+ page, it kind of looks like a cross between the Hangouts Chrome extension and the Hangouts Chrome app for Windows but with a bunch of other crap in there too. I got the idea that I could get something similar to the Hangouts App for Chrome for Windows and Chrome OS on OS X if I used Fluid.app to roll my own native app wrapper for Hangouts. Fluid.app is a tool for generating WebKit site wrapper apps and it works pretty well to solve my Hangouts problem.

I think the main aspect of the Chrome extension that we are looking to keep is the constantly running in the background and popping up with notifications. The webpage is great and easy to use, but I don't feel it's realistic all users are going to remember to open that each day, and I'm somewhat against forcing homepages / sets of pages to open for users. ff782bc1db
