Is Your Chrome Theme Not Working? Here’s How to Fix It by

Chrome logoLet’s say you have opened your Chrome browser and it’s gone. Your favorite theme is suddenly missing, nowhere to be found.

While that may make you want to freak out and panic over its absence, there is no need to throw yourself into an uncontrollable fit of anger. Having problems with Chrome isn’t fun, but this is an easy fix.

It all stems from the release of Chrome 25, which essentially got rid of any extensions that weren’t directly downloaded from the Chrome Web Store. While this is a frustrating development, Google’s intentions were good. In the effort to increase security, Google recognized that malware and other malicious software can be passed through other extensions and have attempted to monitor that more closely.

Unfortunately, this move has affected trustworthy providers of Chrome themes, like Brand Thunder. Not to mention it inconveniences millions of users who suddenly lose extensions without warning.

Get a Chrome 25 Extension Update Reminder from Brand Thunder by

Chrome 25 update

With great power comes great responsibility, especially when you are one of the most popular web browsers on the planet.

Like every other browser out there, Google Chrome works tirelessly to stay ahead of hackers and cyber criminals. With each new update that enhances security, malware works just as tirelessly to find ways around it. Most recently, Chrome blocked the installation of extensions from third-party websites, which, as a security measure, means they can only be downloaded through the Chrome Web Store.

Of course, users could still opt-in to install an extension after downloading an external software or application. While that was intended to give developers more ways to reach users, it was also a way for criminals to install malicious extensions to Chrome without one’s knowledge.
