Web Browsers like Google Chrome, Opera or Brave not working

Hi all, I am having a MacBook Air m3 with macOS Sonoma 14.5. I bought the laptop like 2 weeks back and I installed the web browsers like Google Chrome, Brave, Opera. Whenever I try to open it, it throws me an error saying Quit unexpectedly. Could anyone please guide me on what I can do further to correct it.

Are you running any anti-virus apps, cleaning/optimizer apps, or third party security software?


If so, uninstall them by following the developers' instructions since these types of apps are not needed on a Mac and usually causes more problems than they solve because they interfere with the normal operation of macOS.


Try booting into Safe Mode to see if you have the same issue.


Are you using any browser extensions?


Try creating a new macOS user account. Log out of the current user account & log into the new user account. If this new user account works fine, then it means you have an issue with a LogIn Item, or a configuration issue, or corrupted .plist preference file
