Chrome suddenly decided to reset the settings. How to return?

Question

Google Chrome

Lived in a folder on drive D: portable Chrome 46.0.2490.33 from portableapps.com. Portable was used precisely in order to be able to fearlessly move it anywhere, reinstall OSes, leaving the browser with its inner world untouched. And so I decided to reinstall the OS with hard partitioning and formatting. I cleared the cache and history in Chrome (only them), archived it, saved it on an external hard drive, repartitioned, reformatted, and reinstalled everything as I was going. I returned Chrome to its place, and was surprised to find that all my installed and painstakingly configured extensions were removed with the wording "Chrome detected that some of your settings were corrupted by another program and reset them to their original defaults". How to return back and disable this wonderful feature for the future?
If not, then at least I would like to somehow pull out the list of dead extensions in order to reinstall them (I don’t remember all and which extensions implemented certain features that I already got used to).

Answer 1

Look at this as an opportunity to start life from scratch.
Extensions slow down the work. If you really need something, then you will remember about it and deliver it.
And gray chrome with portalapps is endangering. In addition, now Chrome stores all your settings in your Google account, so there is no need to use the portable version. Just log in.
