WHAT IS GOOGLE CAST?

Everytime I try to write on a Chrome page, there is a extension that keep starting by itself. It plays Youtube random videos.

1. NO - I don't have a ChromeCast.
2. NO - I can't delete this app from Extension in Chrome.
3. YES - I've look every possible ways to delete that app in the configuration.
4. YES - I've right click on that extension to see whatsup.

What is this? Where does that come from? Wtf?

Hey there rachelhuppee,

Welcome to the Chromecast Community Forum! Chromecast is a technology that lets you stream your favorite entertainment and apps from your phone, tablet or laptop right to your Chromecast-enabled TV or speakers with either Chromecast built-in, or by connecting a Chromecast device. If you want to remove the casting capabilities from Google Chrome, I would encourage you to check out this thread.

I look forward to your response, and if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know!

Best regards,
Jeran

Hi, I know what Chrome cast is, please read my questions again. 

I had a problem because there was a plugin from Youtube called Google Cast (NOT CHROME CAST). (See pictures.) It was always starting randomly by itself and I did not installed that thing I don't even own a Chrome cast, I'm on a Mac, I don't even need that.

Anywho, I had to uninstalled Chrome, empty all those preferences and files from my Google profiles and then again install Chrome. (Library - Application support -> Chrome -> empty everything inside)

Please leave this question to help others.
