This tutorial explains how to auto enable or disable Chrome extensions for specific websites. By using the method explained in this tutorial, you can automatically enable or disable Chrome extensions when you visit a specific website. Let’s say you have some extensions that you only want to use on a specific website or disable some Chrome extensions when you go to a specific website, then this tutorial will help you to achieve this. You can simply create multiple rules to auto enable or disable Chrome extensions for specific websites. For this, I am going to use a free Chrome extension manager called NooBoss. This Chrome extension manager comes with an auto state feature by which it automatically maintains Chrome extension states (enable or disable) between different websites. In simpler words, it automatically enables or disables a Chrome extension for specified websites.
It can also notify you when the state of a Chrome extension changes from Enabled to Disabled, or vice versa. In addition to this useful feature, it also lets you enable or disable all Chrome extensions at once. You can also remove Chrome extensions one by one from its interface and quickly move to the options page of any installed Chrome extension.
There are many Chrome extension managers but none of them can automatically enable or disable Chrome extensions based on your presets. With this auto state Chrome extension manager, all you have to do is specify rules as per which it automatically enables or disables Chrome extensions.
If you have installed some Chrome themes then you can check out any of these Chrome theme management extensions.
