Chrome EXIF extension causes SmugMug gallery problem: Solution

Hi all,

I've been bothered by strange SmugMug behavior for some time, where galleries won't always completely load in Chrome. Sometimes just a white screen, sometimes it's got the theme, but no controls.

SmugMug support has been great in working with me and they asked me what extensions I was running in Chrome. I disabled all of them and found SmugMug galleries work great. Then I enabled them one at a time until I saw the problem again.

The bad extension is one of my favorites: Exif Viewer https://chrome.google.​com …embbkocngnlkkdg​abpnfokmnl

Solution:
In the Exif Viewer options, uncheck "Enable overlay on images with EXIF" and save options.

Now all galleries will load properly all the time.
