Final answer:

To uninstall a Chrome extension, open the Chrome menu, navigate to 'More tools', and select 'Extensions'. Find the extension you wish to remove and click 'Remove'. If you prefer to disable it temporarily, toggle the switch off.

Step-by-step explanation:

To uninstall a Chrome extension, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Open the Chrome browser and click on the three dots at the top-right corner of the window to open the Chrome menu.
  2. Hover over More tools and then click on Extensions from the submenu that appears.
  3. This will open a new page with a list of all the installed extensions. Find the extension that you want to uninstall.
  4. Click on Remove to uninstall the extension. You may be asked to confirm the removal, so click Remove again if prompted.
  5. If you want to temporarily disable the extension instead of uninstalling it, you can toggle the switch off to disable the extension.

After these steps, the extension will be removed from your Chrome browser. If you want to reinstall the extension later, you can do so by visiting the Chrome Web Store and searching for the extension again.
