The Chrome extension to Clip to Devonthink has always worked fine. Now suddenly every time I use it, I am first asked to confirm if I want to Open DEVONthink 3.
I run DT3 on 2 Macs and this only happens on one of them. Ideas why?
Do both Macs use the same versions of macOS and Chrome? It’s possible that this is intentional and that Chrome uses now the same annoying alerts as Safari.
There is some difference between the two of them in security settings (as discussed here Security Issue with Reminders Script ) but that was a while ago and this change in behavior with the Chrome extension just started yesterday.
I do not know if there was a new version that was just installed but the versions match on both of my computers so I remain puzzled why the problem is only on one of them.
I’ve just checked with the very same version. Works as expected. So, in short, there must be some security setting that is different. Browsers add more and more security mechanisms that may or may not interfere with extensions such as Clip to DEVONthink (or remove them altogether, like Safari).
I just found success resolving that prompt in Chrome by applying the following Chrome enterprise policy setting in Terminal. (Credit to DevonThink - Best Mac Tips)
Great. That’s my blog. I’m glad you found the solution.
It was driving me nuts having to click that Allow prompt every time. This is also discussed here.
