I’ve been trying to get the Amplitude Chrome Extension to work, but haven’t been successful. I’ve tried reinstalling, restarting everything, changing the different privacy settings, etc… but can’t seem to get it working. I’m on a Mac with the latest OS (Monterey) and using the latest Chrome version.
Please help!

Hi 
Something I’ll like to add is that Amplitude Instrumentation Explorer is an extension in the Google Chrome Web Store that helps you examine and debug your Amplitude JS SDK instrumentation through interactions with your website: https://help.amplitude.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003032451-Instrumentation-Explorer-Debugger
If you aren’t seeing your events pop up in the extension, there are three reasons:
Other than the three reasons above, there’s also adblocker which will block Amplitude tracking. But since you said you see events appearing when you are on the Amplitude website, I assume that you do not have adblocker on.
Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any questions.
Clarification, I’m able to get the chrome extension to work while on Amplitude’s website but not on my own. Is there something specific that I need to implement in our integration to get the chrome extension to work?

https://developers.amplitude.com/docs/javascript#basic-events
var event = “Button Clicked”;
amplitude.getInstance().logEvent(event);
Thank you for your response,
On Amplitude’s site, it works as expected though.
