Debian – How to get rid of GNOME Shell Integration extension in Chromium on Debian

chromedebiangnome

I installed Debian 9.1 with KDE and Chromium. In Chromium there is a built-in extension called "GNOME Shell Integration" that I cannot remove or disable (it is "installed by system administrator", which is, in theory, me). However, I do not use GNOME, and package chrome-gnome-shell is not installed according to Aptitude. If I go to the extension's options, it says: "Although GNOME Shell integration extension is running, native host connector is not detected", which is correct.

How can I get rid of it?

Best Answer

sudo rm /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/chrome-gnome-shell.json
sudo rm /etc/chromium/policies/managed/chrome-gnome-shell.json

You may also need to delete the extension from the extensions folder in your profile path.

You can find this path @ chrome://version/ in the browser.
