Literally The Meatiest Exploit of All Time

1. Find a page belonging to the extension you want to disable. chrome://extensions, chrome://extensions-internals, and chrome://process-internals are all good places to find your extension’s ID (a 32-character lowercase string). You can also do a simple Google search. Once you have your ID, substitute it into the hostname in the URL below:

chrome-extension://extensionidhereblahblah/manifest.json

For some filters like Securly, the block screen is already an extension page.

2. Bookmark the extension page (bookmark A) if you wish. Then, bookmark chrome://kill (B) and chrome://hang (C).
3. On the extension page (A), click the chrome://kill bookmark (B). The page should crash. You should already have the next step prepared.
4. Instantly start spamming chrome://hang (bookmark C) and quickly reload the page while spamming (ideally with the refresh key on your keyboard or ctrl+R). You should have reloaded within one or two seconds of killing the page.
5. If the extension page (bookmark A) no longer loads, then LTMEAT worked! You can close your tabs, and the extension will be dead. If nothing loads, you probably reloaded too late or spammed too slowly. This isn’t rocket science! Restart your computer to revert back to normal.
