Hi everyone,
I've been stuck with this problem recently. When I try to install a chromium extension from the Google Chrome store, the browser hangs at "Checking" and there's nothing I can do, it just stays there. I can start a new instance and continue to work, but the original window (with how many tabs already opened) is unusable.
It was working 'before' (before what, beat me, I don't know what changed).
What I've tried so far is
remove ~/.config/chromium
disable GPU acceleration in the chromium advanced settings or from the command line
disable all extensions already installed and try again
try installing few different extensions (it hangs regardless which ones)
Installing extensions manually (form a downloaded extension) works without issue (with developer mode enabled)
Any ideas?
Some extra info:
