Chrome closing sporadically

Hi,


Since a month or so, Chrome keeps closing randomly without any error message or stack trace or any indication of the cause, which is quite annoying.


I get this message on system.log:

Aug 6 16:44:06 MYMACHINE com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.xpc.launchd.domain.pid.Google Chrome H.93041): Path not allowed in target domain: type = pid, path = /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Frameworks/Google Chrome Framework.framework/Versions/84.0.4147.105/XPCServices/AlertNotificationService.xpc error = 147: The specified service did not ship in the requestor's bundle, origin = /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Frameworks/Google Chrome Framework.framework/Versions/84.0.4147.105/Helpers/Google Chrome Helper.app

And also found this on the log reports:

2020-08-06 16:20:14+02 MYMACHINE installer[92937]: PFPkg: No file found at path: /private/tmp/Google Chrome.pkg
2020-08-06 16:20:14+02 MYMACHINE installer[92937]: PFPackage::packageWithURL - can't instantiate package: /private/tmp/Google Chrome.pkg

This happens on my work MacBook Pro, but not on my personal machines, all of them updated to the latest Catalina.


Thank you!
