How do I fix chrome-error://chromewebdata/# error?

Before you try anything else, make sure you have the latest version of Chrome installed. In your code, check if it’s trying to navigate to any unexisting URLs.

1. Check why Chrome wasn’t able to load the application

1. Open your code editor.
2. Add the following code at the end:
   if (window.chrome && chrome.app && chrome.app.runtime) {
// Running inside a Chrome App context
} else {
// Either not Chrome, or not as an app window
}
3. Save changes.

If your application is a hosted Chrome App, then it is enough to check chrome.app.isInstalled from the website’s code.

2. Check your extensions

1. Open the Menu choose Extensions and then Manage Extensions.
   
2. Disable all extensions by clicking the toggle button next to them.
   
3. After doing that, check if the issue is gone. If it is, enable extensions one by one until you find the culprit.

3. Start your own server to try out the app

1. Open your Google Chrome browser and navigate to Chrome Web Store.
2. Click Add Extension button.
   
   
3. Allow the app to be installed.
4. If you’re not redirected automatically to the Google Apps page, type the following in a new tab: chrome://apps/
5. Click on Web Server to start it.
6. Another window with the server will open.
