Get rid of Google Voice popup notifications in Chrome

Leave a comment

Q. I have an issue where my Google Voice Chrome extension now pops up notifications in the lower right hand corner in a balloon-box. It is quite annoying. I also much prefer the little notification bar by the regular Google Voice icon near the address bar. That one is much more useful to me and makes the popups redundant.

If you receive this error: Error 103 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_ABORTED): Unknown error. when when using Google Chrome to visit sites like Amazon , or when trying to place an order on Amazon then you may want to check your extensions/plugins settings: (Click the wrench icon to the right of the Chrome taskbar -> Settings -> Extensions) For me, there was a plugin called: Autocomplete = on1.0 which changes ‘autocomplete=off’ to ‘autocomplete=on’ in web pages, so your passwords will be remembered.
