To remove the extensions from your Google Chrome browser, it is as simple as following the instructions in the previous point (specifically, from the activate section), only in this case, instead of moving the slider, you must click on the ‘remove’ button ‘. This will cause a pop-up to appear at the top right of the browser to confirm the operation. Once again click on ‘remove’, and the extension will have disappeared from your device.

If an extension does not work for you, it may be due to an app development problem, that the extension is under maintenance or that it needs you to update it. If it fails, try to deactivate it and reactivate it and if it continues to give problems, it could be due to an incompatibility problem between extensions or with your PC.
