DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT BROWSER SECURITY!
Make a new text file and covert it to a batch file. I named mine “DevWaringPatch.bat”
Here is a text file you can download. Change it to a batch file and run with Admin Privileges. This will copy the Chrome library where the code to make the popup appear to a backup file and remove the code. You may have to close Chrome completely.
Appears to have patched something, but then just reads ‘Unable to find channel code, try updating me.’ but I have no fscking clue what a channel code is or what I’m meant to update. When reloading Chrome the nag is still there, so it appears that it would be safe to say this method doesn’t work.
Following up – I removed the entire section pertaining to some channel code,
# patch the channel restriction code for stable/beta
All the way down to the error catch command, etc. inclusive given that idk wtf it is and don’t want it to do that I just want to get rid of the developer mode nag pop up. Ran it again. No joy. Still not stopping it from popping up the nag. It appears Chrome is really hostile towards non-approved plugins, which means anything that doesn’t match their politics gets censored.
I’m trying to run the holy grail of un-allowed plugins, the ‘Coincidence Detector’ – a simple plugin that highlights certain text with ((( )))’s and allows users to draw their own conclusions to what that means. The media went ape at Chrome for allowing it on their web store and it was removed within a few hours of being up so I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Tbh it’s a really cool little thing, and has led me to make some stark realizations I was in denial about. But that nag screen is obnoxious a/f.
