Hi, chrome on my mac has been crashing consistently recently. Whenever I tried to launch it, it will start but automatically close within 3 seconds. I tried re-installing the app and rebooting my mac but neither helps. Thanks for any advice in advance!
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.3

Troubleshooting a Crashing App on a Mac:
A. RAM Consumption being the Culprit:
The Chrome app may be consuming lots of RAM. So, view the Activity Monitor, seeing what is consuming the most of it, and close whatever it may be. Report back if Chrome is consuming lots of RAM. More on Activity Monitor: Activity Monitor User Guide - Apple Support
B. Create New User:
For temporary use, create a new Administrator. See what happens when you log in to it. Do you still get this issue? If not, then is it a misconfiguration in the current user. If so, then you'd likely have to resinstall the macOS.
C. Reinstall the macOS:
Nothing would be lost. It's just that misplaced items would be placed back to where they should be and corrupt system files would be replaced by clean files. Go Here: Reinstall macOS - Apple Support. Important: Prior to installing an update or performing a reinstallation, to prevent data loss, be sure to Back up your Mac with Time Machine.
D. A Bug in the Update:
It might be a bug in the update. Apple might come out with a fix, but they'll only know of this if it is reported.
E. Report this to Apple:
Do your Part: Report this to Apple. Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback Apple receives on this, the more they will know what is going on, and what needs to be fixed in upcoming updates.

Ars Technica have reported issues with "tempered" Chrome extensions:
As Chrome is not an Apple product, you should contact Google Support:
https://support.google.com/chrome/?hl=en#topic=7439538
but, in the meatime, disable ALL Chrome extensions and test.

Crashing Chrome Browser:
Where are you getting Chrome from? Download it from the App Store, or directly from Google --nowhere else.
Hi - I got it from Google. Searched on Apple Store but couldn't find it. Thanks!
Thanks Allan - unfortunately I didn't find ways to unable extensions without first launching chrome, but launching chrome isn't possible in my Mac... I'll try to reach out to Chrome developers
