Asked By CuriousExplorer92 On

I found an unknown Chrome extension with the ID "chrome-extension://fignfifoniblkonapihmkfakmlgkbkcf/" but can't seem to unregister it. When I try accessing the service worker internals, it leads me to an invalid website. I did some research and found nothing on this ID. Is it possible that this extension is corrupted or even malicious?

Have you tried manually deleting the corresponding files? Look up where Chrome stores its extensions and see if you can find it in your file explorer. If that fails, switching to a different browser like Firefox might be a good option.

I checked my local storage, but I can't find any extension with that ID at all.

If you don't know what that extension does, it's best to remove it! Your browser should be fine, but if anything goes wrong, it's likely that extension was sketchy. Just be cautious when trying to delete it if you can't unregister it easily. Let that thing go!

I wish I could! But pressing the unregister button does nothing when I try.

You can try using the registry on your computer to track down where this extension is installed. There are guides available online that walk you through this process.
