google chrome bug?

this message appears all the time in chrome developer tool's console:

Port error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist. miscellaneous_bindings:232
chromeHidden.Port.dispatchOnDisconnect miscellaneous_bindings:232
Error in event handler for 'undefined': Cannot read property 'instanceId' of undefined TypeError: Cannot read property 'instanceId' of undefined

    at [object Object].dispatch (event_bindings:203:41)
    at Object.<anonymous> (miscellaneous_bindings:235:27) event_bindings:207
chrome.Event.dispatch event_bindings:207
chromeHidden.Port.dispatchOnDisconnect miscellaneous_bindings:235

is this a bug in chrome or there is something wrong in my chrome installation?

Based on some googling, this is a problem with a chrome extension, but it may not be clear which. (For me, it was Feedly).

The quickest way to find out which is causing the problem:

  1. Disable all your chrome extensions. (Chrome menu > tools > extensions)
  2. Refresh a page - hopefully the port error should be gone now
  3. Re-enable your extensions one by one, refreshing the page after each, 'til the error pops up again in the console. You should now have your culprit.

I know this could be a pain if there are a lot of extensions :/ personally, I took it as a chance to prune the unused / unworthy extensions while I was going through them.

It seems to be a problem with the Google Dictionary (by Google)

This script doesn't seem to exist or is not accessible by that port.
