A question about Galois characters
$begingroup$
Let $F$ be a number field and $chi:mathrm{Gal}(overline{mathbb{Q}}/F)tooverline{mathbb{Q}_ell}^{times}$ ($ell$ a prime) a Galois character. My question is: Can we find a finite extension $K/F$ such that $chi_{|mathrm{Gal}(overline{mathbb{Q}}/K)}=1$

By Galois theory, your question is equivalent to asking whether all $ell$-adic Galois characters have finite image. Unlike with complex-valued characters, there are plenty of infinite image $ell$-adic Galois characters.
The most important example is the $ell$-adic cyclotomic character. Take $F=mathbb Q$ and define $chi$ as follows:
$$
begin{align}
mathrm{Gal}(overline{mathbb Q}/mathbb Q) &to mathrm{Gal}(mathbb Q(zeta_{ell^infty}) / mathbb Q)\
&= varprojlim_{n} mathrm{Gal}(mathbb Q(zeta_{ell^n})/mathbb Q)\
&=varprojlim_{n} (mathbb Z/ell^nmathbb Z)^times\
&= mathbb Z_ell^timessubset mathbb Q_ell^times.
end{align}
$$
Here $zeta_{ell^n}$ is a primitive $ell^n$-th root of unity, and $mathbb Q(zeta_{ell^infty})$ is the field obtained by adjoining all $ell$-power roots of unity. This map is surjective (onto $mathbb Z_ell^times)$, so has infinite image. It only becomes trivial after restriction to $mathbb Q(zeta_{ell^infty})$, which is an infinite extension.

The most important example is the $ell$-adic cyclotomic character. Take $F=mathbb Q$ and define $chi$ as follows:
$$
begin{align}

&= varprojlim_{n} mathrm{Gal}(mathbb Q(zeta_{ell^n})/mathbb Q)\
&=varprojlim_{n} (mathbb Z/ell^nmathbb Z)^times\
&= mathbb Z_ell^timessubset mathbb Q_ell^times.
end{align}
$$
Here $zeta_{ell^n}$ is a primitive $ell^n$-th root of unity, and $mathbb Q(zeta_{ell^infty})$ is the field obtained by adjoining all $ell$-power roots of unity. This map is surjective (onto $mathbb Z_ell^times)$, so has infinite image. It only becomes trivial after restriction to $mathbb Q(zeta_{ell^infty})$, which is an infinite extension.
