my webstore in Chrome is broken. I already purged chrome and reinstalled it but nothing new.
It says image decode failed, when I want to install new extensions. ALso every picture is broken. I have a dual boot and no problem with Chrome under Windows.
Under Linux I can not install any extensions with and without sync with my Account. I also used the incognito mode but it still won't work.
Do you have any advice?
Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Everything else is up to date.

Here was my problem:
It was because some google content was blocked in my hosts.
You can check if it is the same for you.
how to edit hosts: sudo nano /etc/hosts
4I had the same issue. To find the cause, I opened the chrome web store with VPN, and found everything is normal. Like images loaded, and extensions installed without any issue.
Which proves that it is not a Chrome issue but ISP / network issue, who accidentally blocking these resources.
Call your internet service provider to unblock those resources.
1Go to settings in Chrome and enable redirects...Boom the issue is resolved...
