I did try that without luck.
Yes, Chrome is my default browser.
Mmm. There has to be something besides the browser/extensions causing this. Is your system otherwise stable/without issue?
Please do the following to check the underlying system:
1. Click Start
2. In the search box, type cmd
3. In the list that appears, right-click on cmd.exe and choose Run as administrator
4. In the command window that opens, type sfc /scannow and hit enter.
Report the output from the command window once it finishes.
More detail: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
Another question : is the ESET firewall enabled?
Since the browser extension shortcuts work, but the mouse click doesn't, I suspect there is a setting in ESET (probably in the firewall) to prevent that sort of communication.
Well damn they all look normal to me what version chrome is it? Maybe you should try the Canary channel one and see if changes anything as it used it's own profile and maybe yours is corrupt. https://tools.google.com/dlpage/chromesxs
sfc /scannow result is "no integrity violations".
No firewall whatsoever, whether Windows or ESET.
PC is working very well, stable and fast on 2 SSDs. Explorer 9 (which I used until now, because 10 and 11 had blurry fonts and other annoyances) had become increasingly difficult to use, with some sites not working at all on it, so I took the plunge and downloaded Chrome.
Thanks for the advice re
but that will have to wait until new year (lack of time)...Have you tried a new Windows user/test account/profile?
If links fail in that test account, then...
...uninstall ESET
...restart the computer
...log onto your normal account
...delete that test account (and its files)
...create a fresh test account
...log on to that test account
...install Chrome, one extension and test links.
Before I try these new accounts / uninstalls / reinstalls:
- Do you all have Java or JVM, or is anything similar needed for Chrome to work?
- Is it possible that any settings in IE9 (which I haven't uninstalled) prevent Chrome from working properly?
There should be no real interaction between IE9 and Chrome, but I'll test that for you.
No - JAVA's run time environment (JRE) was not installed. It is not needed to make these Chrome Extension links work.
I only tested with one extension installed:
To be clear: when you click on a link like the one shown near the end of the video, nothing happens. Correct?
Yes; correct. These links are not clickable; but if there is a keyboard shortcut, they will work. That makes most extensions unusable.
I notice you have a .NET version which I don't, and also some program by Oracle which I don't have.
