Well, extension was removed from chrome store (and was disabled in browser aswell). Reason - "This extension contains malware."
So what's going on?
Not sure if these issues connected, but when I open url from different app - it first goes to newtab.club and only after redirects me to the page.

It was worse for me. Chrome was running and I wasn't at home. As soon as I got home, instead of three windows and 10-15 tabs/windows, there were 2 windows and two tabs. He had no history.

Finally, I put back the google profile from the previous day's archive, and the extension blocked it there as well and deleted it - but at least the history was able to put it back. I rewrote the URLs properly from there.

But that was not nice from Google

I didn't install backup software before, so there is no way?

It seems you can re-enable the extension for recovery if you reopen Chrome while no internet. That worked for me in the past but now not anymore, at least on Mac.

Anyone knows how to re-enable the extension for a while or any alternative?
