Wait never mind, found the solution

forget utorrent, or maybe utorrent didn't even install it at all

you should probably also remove it completely, not just disable it

Klocko² · March 08, 2013, 04:21:23 AM

Just did

Probably wasn't uTorrent, it happened after I installed this plugin to speed up videos :c
EDIT: And it wasn't from the Chrome Web Store, it was a downloadable installer
jesus christ it may have also clung onto safari and firefox

aaaaaa

I already solved it

Wouldn't hurt to post what you did. Y'know, in case someone else has the same problem one day and comes across this topic when searching up a solution, or someone can reference it as a solution.
