How did my Google chrome extensions got automatically deleted?

Question

So, this is what it happened, I was at my college using my laptop at it's last stage of power coz i forgot the charger at home. So i closed the lid. Put the laptop in bag and came home, astonished to find that the laptop was switched off.(Not hibernated) Then i opened chrome and was using it and suddenly i saw ads. And quickly checked my extensions and found that all of my extensions had disappeared. with a message "Boo... You have no extensions :-("

Any idea how i could restore the extensions back? I don't even remember the name of all extensions. I read somewhere that logging into Google account will re-sync the extensions. But i just realized that the last time i logged into chrome using Google account was a year ago.

I suspect it's some bug of Chrome. Any ideas? Suggestions? Please!

Well you could try logging in with your Google account. Perhaps you were logged in to Chrome, and it somehow logged out.

Also it's quite a known issue, check: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142059
