Is it possible to put Google Chrome into a "extension free" mode? - debugging

Is there a way to temporary deactivate all (or selected) Google Chrome extensions? This would be handy when I debug pages, since some extensions (eg. AdBlock, Clickable Links etc) modify the content of web pages.
Also sometimes I want to monitor how a page loads via the Chrome developer tool's timeline. But since extension-activity also is recorded it can get a bit messy.
Thank you!

Sorry guys. I should have done some better research before posting here. I searched in chrome web store and found this extension, which seems to do the thing. Sorry for bothering you.
This solution was discarded since a better suggestion was given (see accepted answer).

How do you see the code for locked google forms?

My friend is making an escape room with respond validation and locked mode. You can see the answer for respond validation:

When I tried this with a Chromebook that had been locked, I couldn't use control U or inspect, it just simply doesn't let me.
Is there anyway for me to get the source code?
Ideas: VM (With a Chromebook and may be able to bypass the lock), extension (A way for me to see it). Or is there any other ways for me to get the answers, thanks for reading this.
I don't think you can access the codes.
because the Chromebook will cut off all other web pages from loading, and i don't think an extension can access the google forms when it is on locked mode.
In my opinion, the idea to access the code while it's in locked mode, is impossible.
I'm on my school's Chromebook, so i experienced it.
I hope this helps.
Sorry if my answer/opinion is wrong.

disabling (or fixing) ReadCube WebReader on Firefox

Mac OSX 10.11.2, Firefox 45.0.1
I'm trying to access articles through Wiley publishers website (onlinelibrary.wiley.com) and the PDF viewing function forces me to use ReadCube Webreader, which fails every time to load my article. I also cannot download the article. I have full permissions to view the article, but everything but the first page is blurred out. I just want to use Adobe PDF Reader like I used to, but I cannot figure out how to disable ReadCube. I have toggle this setting https://www.readcube.com/epdf_settings, cleared my cookies, turned off my addblocker, but nothing works! If I use Safari, which I really don't want to do, it works just brilliantly. Please help.
My add-on HTTPS Everywhere was interfering. It can be disabled by clicking the HTTPS Everywhere Icon in the browser window, and selecting the red-highlighted processes that are being encrypted by clicking on it. This is a bad answer to my question, because I'm not entirely sure how this has fixed the problem, but it has worked.

how to get the current URLs opened in Chrome, from my app?

Long story short: I have to show statics, in my OSX app, about the opened websites in Chrome. So, I need to get a list of the opened websites.
At the beginning I thought in writing a Google Chrome Extension. But found "rescuetime". They already achieve what I want (and much more). Any ideas how they get the URLs opened in Chrome, they even block them!
Have you tried looking at the source?

creating a browser independent bookmarklet or browser addon

What is the best way to create one browser addon or bookmarklet that would seamlessly work on IE, Firefox and chrome, is there some google gadget that would let you do it?
This all depends on what you actually want to create. If your addon requires things like local storage or the use of xPath or other browser specific items than doing this seamlessly and correctly across the multiple platforms wouldn't be incredibly easy.
Generally speaking all the browsers are quite different. Chrome and Safari run webkit, Firefox Gecko and so on. Some support HTML5 well, others don't. If you're creating something complex you will have to do so for each individual browser. However, much of the code from one can be re-purposed with a few extra / different calls on another. Firefox for example has a lot in common with Chrome and Safari and Chrome and Safari are even more so closely related.
If your addon is very simple I'd recommend going with just a bookmarklet take a look at this http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/05/23/make-your-own-bookmarklets-with-jquery/ using JQuery will help solve some if not all of the browser specific issue's you'll run into.
If you require an addon/extension or a bookmarklet do it with JQuery where possible.
I can't really give a more specific yes or no answer without more information. If you could please expand on perhaps what you're looking to do it would be much easier to help you.

Pasting an image from clipboard to a website

I need to come up with a solution for users to be able to paste an image on to a website, then upload that image on to the web server. I'm not sure what the right solution for this - I am pretty sure javascript is out of the question because I don't think it can handle binary clipboard data (or any clipboard data?)
So, I'm not sure which way to go with this. Is this something possible with a Java applet? Or maybe a Flash SWF? Any other alternatives?
Or this free one (via another StackOverflow question)
You can use pure JavaScript for this, assuming either Chrome or Chrome Frame. Since most other plugins or applets require a specific install action you might as well require installing Chrome Frame as that will fix quite a bit more than just pasting events.
View a live demo of a jQuery plugin that cleanly wraps the HTML Clipboard API. This demo requires the Chrome browser.
Rad Upload (java applet). It's not free, but it is relatively cheap.
