How do I fix frequent freezing in Google Chrome on MacBook Pro with Sequoia 15.4.1?

I am running Google Chrome on a 2024 Macbook Pro with Sequoia 15.4.1. and it freezes after a few minutes for around 40 seconds and then resumes. I have loads of ram.

I have tried all of the following and it has made no difference:

  1. Clear browser cache and history
  2. Reset Chrome Settings
  3. Check updates for your macOS
  4. Update Chrome and extensions
  5. Turn off extensions or plugins
  6. Restart Chrome
  7. Check system resources and CPU
  8. Scan your Mac for malware
  9. Reinstalling Chrome


None of the above help

Two things of concern


Part 1 of 2


Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS,  is an invitation for disaster. 


Certain Applications maybe available on the Apple Apps Store - this only means the Developer is prepared to pay Apple a percentage on each sale. 


What the Application may do to the computer is up to the User to check this out before purchase


Any of the below should be removed as per Developers Instructions 


Disk Cleaner 


Un-Like Microsoft Windows, which does have “ Disk Cleanup “ and “ Defrag “ as part of their Operating System 


Apple does not and are not needed


MacKeeper,


Part 2 of 2


Short and unpopular suggestion for some


Google Chrome is a good web browser for the sole purpose it was designed to do by the Developer.


Removing " Google "  Chrome 


You can get much the same experience only without the baggage of Google Keylogger
