The above is a common error in the Chrome environment caused by malicious extensions/add-ons installed on your browser. Depending on which browser is causing the problem, the solution comes in different ways. Keep on reading to find out how to detect the source of the problem and fix it.
#1 Detecting the culprit extension
Detecting the problematic extension: Solving a problem starts with detecting the cause of it, which in this case lies in the Chrome browser. Open the browser and opt for an incognito window. If you don’t know how to open an incognito window in Chrome, follow the instructions below:
Going Incognito in desktop mode
Open Chrome on your computer.
On the top right, look for a sign with three dots. Click on it, scroll down the menu to find the ‘new incognito window’ option.
After clicking on it, you will be able to browse Chrome privately. To make sure you succeeded in activating the incognito mode, check the incognito icon; a hat with a pair of glasses underneath.
Opening incognito mode on Android
On your Android tablet or phone, open the Chrome app.
Click on the three-dots sign located to the right of the address bar. Scroll down to find ‘New Incognito Tab.’
In the opened tab, look for the Incognito sign on the top left.
Going Incognito on an iPhone or an iPad
Open Chrome on your iPhone or iPad.
Tap on ‘more’; a sign with three-dots. In the opened menu, choose ‘New Incognito Tab.’
Fixing the problem
Now that you are in Incognito mode try revisiting the webpage you were having problems loading earlier; if the page loads smoothly, then the problem is one of the extensions. Close the Incognito window and find ‘Chrome settings’; find ‘Chrome Settings’, head to chrome menu (the three-dots sign right next to your profile), after clicking on it, scroll down to find ‘Chrome Settings.’
Expand ‘Chrome Settings’ by clicking on it, and search for ‘more tools.’ Click on ‘more tools’ to find ‘extensions.’ After clicking on ‘extensions,’ a new window will appear displaying all extensions and add-ons you have installed on Chrome ever since. Turn off the extensions one by one; repeat the process of turning off an extension and visiting the website until the page loads normally.
As a result of the process, you will know that the last extension you turned off was causing the problem. To make sure about your assessment, you can turn all the other extensions on again and revisit the page.
#2 Resetting Chrome settings to default
You will need to reset your browser’s settings if the problem persists after opening an Incognito tab, and disabling extensions do not help eliminate the error. Resetting your settings will not affect your saved passwords, AutoFills, bookmarks; you will probably have to reinstall all your extensions, though. If you have made your mind about resetting the settings, let us see how you are going to do this on your own:

Find the three-dotted sign at the top right of the screen and click on it.
Scroll down the screen to find ‘advanced’ at the bottom.

Conclusion
The extension error is common to many browsers and comes with various solutions. The previous article tried to explain the most straightforward solutions whose implementation requires no particular expertise or programming skills. The ultimate solution, though, if none of the above work, will be to uninstall the device.
Although having access to your recent searches could be a valuable asset to many, it might not be the most sought after feature if you are using a public laptop. What is more, your search history can be used against you once a spooky colleague gets their hands on them or worse, when a sibling finds out about your most private secrets. Although the scenario sounds terrifying, it is totally avoidable.
Whether you are using an Android, iOS phone, or are searching Google on a PC or laptop, there are multiple ways of getting rid of search results:
How to Stop Google showing search results
The Web and Activity feature in Google does not only record your search history but whatever you do on other Google services such as YouTube, Google Drive, and so on. To avoid an extensive recording of your data, you need to turn this feature off. Follow the instruction below to achieve just that:
On an Android phone or tablet, you will need to head to the ‘Settings app,’ Scroll down and find ‘Google’ and ‘Manage your Google account.’
What you need to look for here is the ‘Data and Personalization’ section.
You will find Web and app activity under the ‘activity controls’ option; turn it off to block Google from tracking your daily online activities.
Turning off Web and Activity on a Computer:
The process might be a bit more online on a computer; first of all, you will need to visitthe activity controls page with a signed-in Google account.
Scrolling down, you will find the Web and Activity option; turn it off.
Blocking Google from recording your activities on an iPhone or an iPad:
You will need to visit the Activity controls page on an iPhone or an iPad again to sign in to your Google account.
The rest follows the same as it would in a PC; just scroll the page down to find Web and Activity and turn it off.
With Web and Activity turned off, Google will not show any previous searches from now on, but what about the old ones?
We can feel the frustration in you; you might have turned Web and Activity off, but your previous embarrassing searches are right before your eyes. For that matter, you need to clear the browser history; stick with us to explain to you how you will steer clear of your previous Google search results on different Browsers:
Deleting Chrome Browser history
Android devices:
Open the Chrome app in your device, reach out to the three-dots icon on the top right, and tap on ‘History’ (on some devices, the address bar might be at the bottom, if that is the case, you should swipe up the address bar to find ‘History’ ).
After tapping on History, you will find ‘Clear browsing data.’
Before finalizing the removal, select the period in which you want your data removed (it could be the past 24 hours, past week, or all of your browsing sessions). Note that you can choose which data you want to delete; stored data on a chrome browser includes cookies, cache data, saved passwords, auto fillings, and website settings.
After adjusting the settings, you can tap on ‘clear data’ and get rid of your search history.
PC or a laptop:
To clear browsing history on a desktop device, head to the Chrome app on your PC or laptop, open the app and find the three-dots icon at the top right.
Find History and click on the enlarge icon beside it to view all options.
Click on ‘Clear browsing data.’
On the box that has appeared on your screen, look for a drop-down menu and select the exact period in which you want your search history removed.
Just like with android devices, you can select which exact data you want to be removed before finalizing the deletion.
Tap on ‘Clear data’ to end the process.
iPhone or iPad
Open the Chrome app on your iPhone or iPad.
Reach out to the three-dots icon in the bottom right to find ‘History.’
Look for ‘Clear browsing data’ after expanding History by tapping on it.
Check browsing data and any other item you want to delete.
Some items might be checked by default; you might consider unchecking them if you wish to keep them on your device.
Tap on ‘Clear browsing data’ and ‘done’ after the job is finished.
Removing Google search results on Safari
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Head to the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
After finding the safari append tapping on it, tap on Clear History and Website data to remove your browsing data (note that clearing your browsing data will have no impact on your AutoFill information).
If you are willing to clean more than just your browsing history, head to settings > Safari again, but this time find ‘advanced’ and after tapping on it, look for the ‘website data’ option.
You will then find ‘Remove all browsing data’ after tapping on which, you will have all your web data removed.
If you wish to surf the net without leaving a trace, you can turn on private browsing.
Mac
Clearing browsing data is much easier on Mac:
Open the Safari browser on your laptop.
Head to the menu and find ‘Safari’; click on it to find ‘clear history’ in the middle.
Click on ‘clear history’ to remove your browsing data but note that you can also opt for different periods when doing so.
The Bottom line
Although the above methods work 100%, it is best to browse privately or in incognito mode to avoid awkward situations when using a public device or browsing on your friend’s phone or laptop.
Let us face it; we have all been in situations where asking people to stay away doesn’t work. Receiving hundreds of calls and messages from sales executives, nosy former high school friends, and even scammers is not something you would long for after a busy workday.
Blocking people from your phone seems like a permanent solution, but how are you going to do that? What happens after and in the process? Please stick with us to get the answer to those questions.
How to tell if someone blocked your number
Although no notifications will be sent to the people you have blocked from contacting you, there are a few hints and signs that, if interpreted, could provide strong evidence of your doing so:
Usually, you will receive a delivered confirmation after sending text messages. By tapping and holding on to the message, you will be presented with a drop-down menu; scrolling down on it will find ‘more,’ by tapping on which you will receive information about the message’s status and the delivery confirmation.
The person you have blocked will not receive the delivery confirmation. If they are smart enough to go through the above process and find the message status, they will not find the delivery confirmation there and will start guessing you have probably blocked them.
Another way they could tell you have blocked them is by calling you. The caller will be directed to a voice mail or hear a pre-recorded message after a few beeps.
Can you know if the number has ever tried contacting you after you have blocked them?
Although there are no ways to find out this from your phone, some applications might give hints about who out of the Blacklist has attempted to contact you.
Call Blacklist 1.99 EUR
The app allows you to access the blocked log call in the free version, but you could always buy the premium version to stay safe from the countless ads in the unpaid version. You can find the app in Google’s Play Store. After installing the app, open it and tap on the record option right on the main screen. After tapping on it, the app will give you a list of all the blocked numbers that have tried to call you after being blocked.
How to block a number on Android
Android phones come in different names and brands. Like their appearances, the blocking process varies significantly in each of them.
Blocking a number via the Phone app
The phone app on most android phones is at the bottom of the home screen, it could come in any color, but you can’t miss the phone sign on it. Anyway, tap on the app to open it.
There, you will see a list of all your recent calls; look for the number you want to block from calling your phone. You could also search for the number in your contacts if it is already saved.
Tap the number to view the options located at the bottom of the screen. If you are trying this from the recent calls section, do not tap on it. Instead, tap on the ‘!” sign beside the number.
To see more options, tap on the sign with three dots.
You will see the ‘Block Number’ option here; tapping on it, you will get rid of the pesky calls.
Blocking numbers on Samsung phones
Samsung holds first place in the android phone market, with 22% of market share and a market capitalization of 301.65 billion dollars. Given that, there is a good chance the phone you are holding in your hands comes from the former brand; if it is so, take a look below to find out how to block numbers in your phone:
Tap on the phone app. Scrolling down the screen, find “Recents” at the bottom.
Find the number you intend to block. In the options below the number, you will find an “i” sign; tap on it.
On the new screen, scroll down to find “Block” at the bottom. Well done!
Blocking a number on other android devices
The explained methods should work on most Android phones, but the odds are that your phone might not follow the exact instructions as the above ones. In some android phones, tapping on a number may result in a call, which would be pretty strange considering you want to get rid of the caller. Luckily, another procedure could avoid that sort of a situation:
Open the Phone app on your device.
Instead of tapping on the number, hold your finger on the number until a menu shows up on the screen.
Scroll down the menu to find the “Block” option, then tap on it.
Blocking a number via the Cellular carrier
All of the above methods work perfectly on your existing phone, but they will not affect a new phone, meaning the number will have access to you again if you change your phone. If you want to block the number from accessing you permanently, you should opt for stopping it at the carrier. There are no DIY procedures for this method, and you will have to contact your operator to get the job done.
Warning: although the permanent blocking of unwanted numbers sounds like a terrific idea, it comes with a cost! Contact your carrier to get information about their blocking plans.
Conclusion
Blocking a number on Android could be done in various ways, and the process could differ depending on which brand and model you are using, let alone the Android version of your phone. Just as you can never be sure about the procedures of blocking a number on your Android phone, the result always remains the same; pure relief and utter reassurance.
Since its foundation in 2015, BlueStacks has produced countless applications and cloud-based products, serving a large portion of passionate gamers around the globe. Despite the recent popularity of BlueStacks, there are questions around the program’s reliability, some even claiming it could be a virus, but is that true?
Let us start with the basics:
How BlueStacks works?
BlueStacks runs on the Android Virtual Machine. Utilizing emulator libraries allow ARM instruction sets (common to Android devices) to run on Intel/ AMD instruction sets. BlueStacks functions in the same way a PS-2 console would when running games on a PC. Although it is possible to run BlueStacks on Windows 7 and macOS Sierra, it works best on a more modern system such as Windows 8 and macOS 10.
The system requirements for running BlueStacks on Windows and macOS are as follow: for a Windows PC, you will need an operating system of Windows 7+, at least 3 GBs of RAM, an internal disk space of 15 GBs or more significant, an Intel or AMD processor, and an Nvidia GPU of 710 or above.
For a macOS machine, there will be a need for an operating system of macOS Sierra or above, at least 4 GBs of RAM, an internal disk space of at least 15 GBs, and an Intel Processor.
Regarding the safety of BlueStacks, there are several myths as well as facts we would like to answer for you, keep reading to find the answers to those questions:
Is BlueStacks a virus?
BlueStacks is an android emulator software allowing you to run android software and games on Windows and Mac. As android is an open-source system, there are no reasons to question the legitimacy of BlueStacks. However, you might want to stay away from other emulators such as Nintendo, Gameboy, and Gamecube.
Considering the function of the software, some people might believe BlueStacks contains malicious software. But just as we said, there’s nothing illegal about the services BlueStacks offers. As for viruses, the software has been the subject of testing by numerous Antivirus programs. It has shown no trace of a malicious script in its source codes.
Some users blame BlueStacks for their PC’s hindered performance, claiming that it has the same effect a virus would. Don’t be a conspiracy theorist! If you ever feel like your system shows signs of sluggish performance, you will probably run short on RAM and CPU.
Is it safe to login into your Google account on BlueStacks?
The first notification you will get after installing BlueStacks is a warning to link your Google account to download apps and games from the Google Play store. Some people freak out after receiving the notification; some even find it offensive regarding data privacy. If you ever get the notification, enter your Google account information; BlueStacks is no more harmful than your android phone or tablet.
You have to know that BlueStacks is an android emulator and is faithful to the source codes. However, if you still do not want to link your Google account to it, you could create a new one and start playing on the platform.
What are the BlueStacks disadvantages?
Although many Clash of Clans lovers swears by the software, it comes with particular disadvantages you might want to consider before installing it:
1. Increasing the RAM and CPU usage
Installing BlueStacks on your PC will increase RAM and CPU usage as it needs a lot of space to run games smoothly on your PC. With that said, you will need to have at least 3 GBs of RAM if you are considering downloading the software on your PC.
2. BlueStacks slow down the PC
With so much weight on your RAM and CPU storage, a slight slowing down in your PC must be expectable, especially if your system lacks sufficient software requirements. If you’re experiencing lags when running BlueStacks, it could be due to your RAM, memory, BlueStacks temporary files, and in some cases, an Antivirus program.
3. You might need a better Graphic card
BlueStacks will take over your existing Graphic Card, meaning you will need to consider purchasing another one if you wish to run and install other applications on your PC. We would not recommend running BlueStacks and other apps simultaneously on a single graphis card, as it could cause your PC to crash.
How to update my existing Graphic Card?
BlueStacks supports Intel, AMD, and Nvidia Graphic cards. If yours is an outdated version, it will need upgrading; press the “Windows” and “R” keys together to open the Run tab, type down ‘devmgmt.msc’ and click on ‘OK.’ On the device manager page, click on ‘Display Adapters’ to find the Graphic Card your system is currently using, right-click on the name and choose ‘update drivers’ from the options shown there, job done!
4. BlueStacks is a power-hungry software.
It would be best if you considered replacing your battery sometime during the course on top of a new Graphic Card and a RAM space of at least 3 GBs. BlueStacks will need 85% of your CPU while running on your PC, which is a lot! The overconsumption of your CPU will eventually lead to lower battery life.
Last thoughts
BlueStacks is no virus or malicious software, it will not sell your information or take over your Google account, and we have not heard about anybody getting into jail for playing Call of Duty on BlueStacks. There are conditions, though, where it can be hazardous; if your system has an operating system older than the recommended ones, if your RAM does not have enough capacity. Suppose you own only one Graphic Card but are planning to run several software besides BlueStacks on it.
Note that even if your PC meets all the prescribed conditions, a hindered system and a lower battery life is unavoidable when working with BlueStacks.
