Filter list deleted on startup - chrome

Post by Phil »

Hi,

there is a very annoying issue since last week. I'm using Adblock plus in Google Chrome (MacOsX 10.6.8 ) and always when I'm starting Chrome all filter lists and filter settings are deleted. So i have to add the lists everytime after startup once again. What caused this issue? I haven't changed any settings.

Thanks

Hello,
Remove Adblock Plus and install it again from the Google Web Store. This clears all Adblock Plus data and should resolve the breakage. If this doesn't help: go to the directory where Chrome stores your data and remove the folder File System
  • Windows XP: %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
  • Windows Vista/7/8: %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
  • Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default
  • Linux: ~/.config/google-chrome/Default
This won't make matters worse: the data in this folder is already corrupted. Removing the directory will allow Chrome to create it again and use it correctly.

Edit: typo fix.

Bumping the thread.

Having the same problem, uninstalling and deleting user data doesn't work.

Chrome Version 31.0.1650.57 m, if that helps.
