I just upgraded to Mac Sonoma 14 and now Chrome won't work.

I'm having the same issue. Nothing loads on Chrome at all. @FoxFifth I tried what you said to no avail. I'm on Safari right now...

This is the last time I update MacOS on release day.  did this last time too. This never happened when Steve was around :/

Chrome browser isn't working just updated to sonoma October 02 2023. I can't amke calls with microsoft teams application only messages. Even when I try to make calls from the browser it doesn't work. I have uninstalled the applications numerous times I am now using firefox and the language keep changing. Safari is ok but still can't use teams on it and it's devtools aint as great as chrome or firefox. I can't even do a rollback so I can work. Hoping this gets fixed soon. This post isnt mean't to be helpful.

When Steve was around, “it just works” seemed to be a priority. My experience was in alignment with that expression. I’m very happy Chrome is working for you.

To follow up- I used my apartment’s club room WiFi and Chrome was working fine. Seems like certain routers no longer work on Sonoma for a reason I don’t know.

Chrome has been unusable for me for about a week. Did a computer restart, which also included updating Chrome on Sonoma. Now I can do almost nothing before Chrome crashes (wheel of death). I've tried uninstall and reinstall, cleared all of the related files in the library, tried running the Chrome Beta, tried with new profiles. To me it looks like it is some kind of permissions issue i.e. as soon at Chrome tries to execute something, it hard crashes. So I can browse some websites without an issue but as soon as I try to login to Salesforce for example, it hard crashes. I'm now running Safari but Salesforce doesn't support Safari on many screens due to Safari privacy settings that can't be changed and then Chrome extensions not available on other browsers. Hate being so dependent on one browser and then is not working. Outside of a complete reinstall of my MacBook Pro M1 (which I'm not going to do) I don't know the answer.

I had to reinstall the OS to get back to the mac Ventura OS after I installed Sonoma. Sonoma is a disaster if you have to use Chrome. I have to use Chrome for my job. This is an absolute nightmare. I am absolutely SHOCKED that Apple has not considered this for their end-users.

If this is a way to force us to use Safari, this is a BAD way for customer relations. My company will force me to switch to a PC.

Did you check if it works through mobile Hotspot. ? If works, Then check my solution posted before.

This may actually have nothing to do with Steve, or whether you update on release day or 6 months later... Problems after updating MacOS have been around for years. Apple changes permissioning systems, adds additional layers of security etc, and sometimes certain specific configurations have issues, while others have no problems at all. I personally had no issues with Chrome either, following the update.

I am having the same problem. I downloaded google chrome, uninstalled, and reinstalled multiple times and the application does not open. I need this for work as some applications do not work on Safari, so I really hope this gets fixed right away. How can google browser not work on a computer in 2023?

How is this the best anwser? If anyone is coming to this forum without reinstalling Chrome first, there's something wrong with them.

Beyond the obvious, how else can this be fixed without backing up the computer?

I have uninstalled are reinstalled multiple times.

Issues:

1. Calling through Chrome does not work anymore, extremely distorted and choppy to the point where I cannot understand a word.
2. Google Meets no longer works at all, when I try to join, the screen greys out and cannot join the meeting.
3. YouTube videos won't load / audio is distorted and choppy
4. Im sure there are more but these are the main issues

I upgraded to Sonoma, what a mistake.

I can’t download files from my chrome, google drive to my Mac. They just disappear. In fact, I can’t download anything to my desktop. I can’t even download anything to my downloads folder. Using Chrome.

They are there, but you can’t see them on the desktop.

Also, I am a video editor, and Davinci Resolve keeps crashing. Upgrading to Sonoma was a mistake.

I'm having this exact same issue. Downloads appear to download but they are not on my computer.

I'm also having issues with Messages if I drag a file or image to messages, they appear to send but the person doesn't get them.

I've connect with at least 4 different senior tech support specialists at Apple and they all have different oppinions and nothing works. My friend has this same computer and uses Chrome and she has no issues at all. I don't get it.

I just uploaded Sonoma 14.1.1. and I can no longer download .pdf files from Chrome onto my desktop. The documents appear to be downloading but they don't show up on my desktop. However, I am able to download from Chrome to my documents folder. My Chrome settings have download to desktop as the default. Why? Is this problem being addressed?

ugh - I wish I saw this before I attempted...Upgraded Dec 5, so thought any bugs should be out and same - I can only use safari - chrome and Firefox do not work, and also ANY gmails don't work cuz that is based thru chrome! So I have to go to each gmail acct in safari to check emails, rather than use MacMail all in one spot. Very aggravating.....

I have done that, and it has not worked. I downloaded over current copy - nope.....downloaded an additional copy....nope....deleted my old version, downloaded new copy....nope.....this is so aggravating
