By default Chrome extensions do not run in Incognito mode  You have to explicitly enable the extension to run in Incognito

If you want to temporarily get rid of these console errors  like I did  you can install the extension here  https   chrome google com webstore detail google-cast boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd reviews hl en  I left a review asking for a fix  You can also do a bug report via the extension  after you install it  here  Instructions for doing so are here  https   support google com chromecast answer 3187017 hl en   I hope Google gets on this  I need my console to show my errors  etc  Not theirs

Update  After several attempts  it looks like this may have been fixed in latest Chrome builds  per Paul Irish s comment below   That would suggest we will see this fixed in stable Chrome June-July 2016  Let s see      This is a known bug with the official Chromecast JavaScript library  Instead of failing silently  it dumps these error messages in all non-Chrome browsers as well as Chrome browsers where the Chromecast extension isn t present   The Chromecast team have indicated they won t fix this bug   If you are a developer shipping with this library  you can t do anything about it according to Chromecast team  You can only inform users to ignore the errors   I believe Chromecast team is not entirely correct as the library could  at the least  avoid requesting the extension scipt if the browser is not Chrome  And I suspect it could be possible to suppress the error even if it is Chrome  but haven t tried anything    If you are a user annoyed by these console messages  you can switch to Chrome if not using it already  Within Chrome  either    Install the Chromecast extension from here  Configure devtools to hide the error message  see David s answer below     Update  Nov 13  2014   The problem has now been acknowledged by Google  A member of the Chromecast team seems to suggest the issue will be bypassed by a change the team is currently working on   Update 2  Feb 17  2015   The team claim there s nothing they can do to remove the error logs as it s a standard Chrome network error and they are still working on a long-term fix  Public comments on the bug tracker were closed with that update   Update 3  Dec 4  2015   This has finally been fixed  In the end  Chrome team simply added some code to block out this specific error  Hopefully some combination of devtools and extensions API will be improved in the future to make it possible to fix this kind of problem without patching the browser  Chrome Canary already has the patch  so it should roll out to all users around mid-January  Additionally  the team has confirmed the issue no longer affects other browsers as the SDK was updated to only activate if it s in Chrome   Update 4  April 30   Nope  not yet anyway  Thankfully Google s developer relations team are more aware than certain other stakeholders how badly this has affected developer experience  More whitelist updates have recently been made to clobber these log messages  Current status at top of the post
