Sometimes you just need to disable chrome extensions temporarily. This extension does just that, with one click.
Even better, it remembers which extensions where previously enabled and will re-enable them again with just one click.
Disable Extensions Temporarily is easy to use and free.
Latest reviews
- (2025-07-11) DRG: It used to work fine but now when reenabling extensions, all extension show as disabled and you need to reenable each one at a time.
- (2025-07-09) David Sutphin: Don't waste your time. Turns them off. That's it. It will not turn them back on.
- (2025-06-27) Ronny Skog: Frequently will not re-enable the extensions after disabling them (in Edge).
- (2025-06-26) Anders Seistrup: No longer works
- (2025-06-25) Gene Kardos: Simple but amazing app! There have been multiple times when my machine was running poorly and since I keep way too many extensions in my browser, an extension is almost always the culprit. The amount of time it takes to turn them all off one by one is extremely frustrating. Short of thinning out the amount of extensions I have saved (OCD), this definitely simplifies things by shortening the amount of time it takes to troubleshoot my machine. So far it works as advertised.
- (2025-06-14) László Dobó: Really not usable as is. Will disable but not re-enable. I'll look for other.
- (2025-05-28) William Elliott: Broken.
- (2025-05-16) Daniel Connelly: It works for me without issues, but clearly has been breaking others computers. Feature request which will probably be ignored: update the extension to include disabling/enabling a subset of extensions.
- (2025-04-26) Kevin Rooney: (4/25/2025 update) It was great. It's nonfunctional now and has been for weeks. Looking for an alternative.

- (2025-04-17) Anthony Lago: Extension broken. Deleting until they fix it but it's been weeks and it looks like they just don't care.

- (2025-04-09) Valerie Bruce: Same issue as others. Since I updated the extension, it disables, but does not reenable them. Hoping this will get resolved quickly.
- (2025-04-09) Coolliam !: great, thank you for disabling all my extensions without turning them back on. Worked for all these years, sad to have to uninstall.
- (2025-04-07) DicerX: Talk about if it ain't broke don't fix it. I have only seen an update just as bad from Sonos when they bricked half their speakers in one night.
- (2025-04-06) Aarya Deshpande: The recent update broke the extension completely - it only disables extensions but doesn't re-enable them. I had several extensions turned on, and I do not have a record of which ones were on to provide the web experience I curated a long time back. I will be deleting the extension for one of the alternatives until a fix arrives.
- (2025-04-05) Gabriel Crossan: It's broken now - re-enabling doesn't reactivate extensions.
- (2025-04-03) PMN Online: after recent update few days back, this extension is dead, it disables all and does not re enable all.... deleting this extension now till fixes come, very bad ...
- (2025-03-31) Gish Kishor: Dunno what they changed other than the colour chanching, but it bugs out and just changes to green when I try to re-enable my extensions. Stopped working since 30/03/2025.
- (2025-03-30) Google User: Why change the color to red? Works well most of the time.
- (2024-07-26) Mario Matos: This extension has been a game changer for me. In fact, I'm considering looking for it on GitHub (if it's there; if not, I'll package it) to add a couple of features that would make it even more perfect. Feature 1: Site-Specific Filters I’m becoming increasingly conscious of the many extensions I have installed and the potential for malicious or intrusive code. A filter that disables the extension on specific sites, like banking websites, would address these concerns. This feature could also improve performance, which, while not an issue on my desktop, could benefit my laptop. Feature 2: Extension-Specific Activation Using the same filter concept, I’d like the ability to select which extensions run only on the sites that need them. This would prevent extensions from interfering with each other and improve performance and security. I understand that the API presents some challenges in implementing these features, as it only allows an inconvenient subset of extensions to be turned on or off automatically. However, I believe that with determination, it can be done. I also considered adding scheduling capabilities, though I can't recall the specific use case for this feature at the moment.
- (2024-06-11) Steven Strell: This used to work great, but now often I'll disable extensions and try to turn them back on, but they won't, requiring manual re-enabling on the Manage Extensions tab.
- (2024-05-09) Google User (M. B.): Recently extension seems to have become malicious. Page redirects when searching. Uninstalling or disabling extension resolved the issue. Coincidence?
- (2024-03-29) Lieutenant BaconWaffles: Used this for years, & it even worked well on Opera GX. As of a few says ago I started getting 404 Google redirects when searching, & disabling this extension made it stop.
- (2024-02-06) Dennis Devine: Excellent tech tool. Great little extension, solved and revealed my slow machine problem as soon as I clicked it. You need a brighter and color the icon for the extension.
- (2024-02-06) Tue Gaston: Used to work like a charm - but lately it seems to have trouble turning extensions back on; I need to do that manually every time.
- (2023-11-14) Eugene KOLARIC: Great - could do with a timer - I keep forgetting to turn them back on afterwards.

- (2023-09-16) Mikhail Molkov: One of the best extensions, helps a lot when need to run chrome in the background or adblocks just break some iframes.

- (2023-09-11) Ed Padin: Don't want to give it one star but it does have a deal killer which has led me to try another. If enough time goes by, it forgets which extensions it temporarily disabled and will not re-enable any. You have to go back and manually re-enable. In a way that's a good thing. It lets you revaluate which extensions you really need. Every extension increases the attack surface, but it's something I should be in control of.

- (2023-07-08) Eduardo J. Fiorini: It's good, does exactly as it promises. I do agree with the other suggestions though, and would like to add another one: that the extension had a way of setting exceptions, so that it'd disable everything but the ones we picked.

- (2023-05-19) Luke Flegg: Used to work sometimes but now every time it just permanently kills all of my extensions and I have to manually turn them all back on and re-position them into my quick access bar, completely defeating the point and wasting loads of time.

- (2023-02-03) Werner Ruf: Wie kann man nur so blöd sein, nicht nur die lokalen Erweiterung aus- oder einzuschalten. Nein, da muss man gleich die Erweiterungen von allen synchronisierten Chrome Browsern ausschalten. Wieder einschalten kann man sie dort aber nicht mehr, das geht nur auf dem Rechner, auf dem sie ursprünglich mal ausgeschaltet wurden. Ganz toll wenn man das zuhause auf dem Tower vergessen hat und dann unterwegs feststellt, dass das Notebook einen Browser ohne Erweiterung hat und man die dort nicht wieder einschalten kann. --- How can you be so stupid to not only turn off or on the local extension. No, you have to switch off the extensions of all synchronized Chrome browsers. But you can't turn them on again, you can only do that on the computer where they were originally turned off. It's great when you forget to do that on the tower at home and then realize on the road that the notebook has a browser without an extension and you can't turn them back on there.
- (2023-01-29) J S: Would give it 5* if the icon changed color while it was enabled/disabled as well as the minimizing pinned ones.
