How can I reload my Chrome extension when it is not possible to do so from chrome://extensions because of my extension?

I'm testing out Chrome Extension development and was testing how to do a page redirect through Chrome Extension.

Well it works, but now because of that I can't access the extension settings page. How do I manually reload/disable the extension? Or do that from the Mac terminal? My Chrome is pretty much unusable now thanks to my own code.

Thank you!

Your question seems to be "How can I reload my Chrome extension when it is not possible to do so from chrome://extensions because of my extension?"

A possible answer is:

  1. Press Shift + Esc to open the task manager (or click on the hamburger menu -> More tools -> Task manager).
  2. Select your extension.
  3. Click on the "End process" button.
  4. Now you can visit chrome://extensions and reload your extension in the usual way.

The previous only works if there is an extension process, not if your extension is purely a content script extension. If you still want to use the above method, you can force an extension process to become visible by opening chrome-extension://[extension id here]/manifest.json in a new tab.
