Click not working on Google Chrome app on Macbook

Hello, I recently started having trouble with clicking while navigating Google Chrome on the Google Chrome application on my Macbook Air OS Big Sur Version 11.6.5.

The click initially works, then starts bugging, not working occasionally (having to wait with my cursor on a link or field or anything I should be able to click on, going on and off the zone where I should click, clicking a couple of times, until it works). My cursor always works and moves smoothly, but eventually, clicking function bugs completely and I become unable to click on anything in the open Google Chrome window, and even unable to switch between tabs in the open window. I therefore have to close the Google Chrome app, quit it and relaunch it. It works again initially, then the cycle restarts.

It seems like the issue is not with the trackpad, and it seems specific to Google Chrome app, as I haven't been experiencing it on the desktop or other apps.

I tried deleting the app and downloading it again, but it didn't help and the issue came back.

Thanks a lot for helping!
