Reset all Google Chrome settings on Ubuntu

  • 772

I enabled some experimental features in Chrome (using the about:flags page), and I'm trying to reinstall it completely (since it has begun to malfunction in various ways - for example, flash applets and extensions are no longer working.) Is there any way to completely reset Google Chrome on Ubuntu, so that all default settings are restored?

google-chrome

    A general answer to that can be found in the link below, this should be closed as duplicate.

    What is the correct way to completely remove an application?

    Basically 

    apt-get purge package
apt-get install package

  2. I think this works without removing all the program. Create new profile (User) like this.

    Than delete the old/default one.

  3. That was interesting! After a routine updating in Ubuntu 14.04, Chrome would only try to start showing the first window, and after a few seconds would just disappear. I opened xfe in superuser mode (sudo xfe) and I went to the home/user/.config and searched for the file corresponding to google, (google-chrome). Changed the name of that file, (just in case I needed it again), and magically, now Chrome has no problem running. Chrome managed to reconstruct the google-chrome, end even kept my bookmarks, etc.
