One of the major advantages of Chrome is the availability of the number of high-quality extensions and the ability to install them with just a single click.

Put simply, there are a ton of extensions and it is common to install multiple extensions.
Most Chrome extensions don’t cause many problems with day to day usage. However, under certain circumstances like sudden power daily or misconfigured extension, it is highly possible that they might interfere with general Chrome functionality. In those cases, disabling all the extensions at once and enabling them one by one while checking Chrome behavior is an effective troubleshooting method.
So, if you are ever in need to disable all Chrome extensions at once, follow these steps.
