How to get rid of Stayfocusd chrome extension?

I found an easier way to get rid of it on a Mac. Go to Chrome's Tools > Task manager, find stayfocusd and End process, then you can get to extensions page.


Go to Preferences → Extensions, and from the list click remove (bin icon on the right)

If that does not help, you can try the following:

  • On Windows 7: close Chrome and go to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions and remove the offending extension
  • On Ubuntu 12.10 either:
    • go to /home/<username>/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions and remove the extension
    • Launch Chrome from the terminal with the -incognito (or --incognito?) flag and remove the extension

This is an old question, but I'll answer it anyway in case someone else might find it helpful:

Go to System Preferences, and set the system time forward by a couple days or so. Simple as that.
