Chrome browser crashes on new Macbook Pro

I also gust got a new M3 chip Mac. When I download chrome installer, it crashes after I click the installer icon.

Per John Galt's post. Why in the world would you choose to use Chrome?

I really don't get what people think is so great about Chrome. It's a known, massive resource hog. On top of that, from the moment you turn your Mac on to the time you turn it off, it is constantly sending anonymized data of your computer and web usage to Google's servers. Chrome doesn't even have to be running. The keystone agents…

/Library/LaunchDaemons/google.keystone.agent.plist

/Library/LaunchDaemons/google.keystone.xpcservice.plist

…do that by launching apps buried within the Chrome app, which load at startup. And then there's this.

We don't allow any software written by Google on our Macs. Not Chrome, Google Earth, or anything else. Google's real business is collecting marketing data. You are their unwilling and unpaid source for it when you use any of their junk. If Safari isn't a browser you care much for, try Firefox or Brave. If you have one, you do not need Chrome to access your Google account. You can do that from any browser.

Remove Chrome and its daemons. Never install it again.

And yet another reason to never allow any app written by Google on your computer.

Google told users that when using incognito/private mode, Chrome would not track your usage, or collect data. They lied. It did anyway. Google has now agreed to settle the 2020 lawsuit with a five billion dollar fine.

But even so, according to another article on the lawsuit, that 5 billion is still a drop in the bucket to what Google has made on the collected data.

If this issue has persisted across multiple computers, the issue is with Chrome and/or your Chrome profile.

Remove all extensions that you have for Chrome and see if that helps.

crashes multiple times per day. i have all extensions disabled

I'm experiencing the same issue with Chrome with the same Macbook Pro 16inch M3. I upgraded to get away from the overheating as well and Chrome never crashed like this on my 2019 MBP. I also don't experience any crashing issues on HP computer I use regularly that is signed into my Chrome profile.

I hope Apple can solve this issue sooner than later.

...only to infest it with Google? You wasted your money. Return it and buy a Chromebook.

Ummm....then, use a different browser? (Firefox, Brave, Safari).
