Toggle in Google Chrome Canary to pause all extensions with a click works

Google Chrome Canary now has a working toggle to pause all extensions with a click. The function had not been working in the test browser for several months. Whether and when the feature will be in the stable version of Chrome is unknown.

Developer Leopeva64 says that the function now works by a commit from last weekend. The description confirms that users must first refresh the page before the browser can make the change. The commit gives no clue when the feature will be in the stable version of Chrome. Google hasn’t said anything about that either.

The feature is not quite ready yet. First, the developers have to build the notification that users must refresh the page for the change to take effect. In January it was already announced that the position was coming. Google has not yet said anything about the feature, so it is unknown if and when it will actually appear in the stable version of Chrome. Edge has had that feature for several months, after it appeared in a test version in April.
