Q: Chrome Crashing on MacBook Pro.

Hey all.

I've googled this problem but all i can find is aged resolutions from 2011.

I have a Macbook Pro (mid 2012) running OSX 10.8.5, Its not clogged with rubbish and all apps are up to date. Recently google chrome has been crashing constantly. upon opening it will work and i can browse half of 1 page, Then it crashes. Nothing loading and nothing clickable within chrome. I then have to force quit the programme and start all over again. I can use Facebook though?

I have done the typical re-install, I've even restarted my mac and still no joy. Iv no idea why or how this has happened.

Has anyone else come across the same problem or better yet, A fix.

HELP ME PLEASE SOMEONE!!

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

I had this problem too and resolved it by signing out of Chrome. Once I did that the crashes stopped.

My very strong advice?

Ditch ALL Googlewares. They are ALL a serious resource hogs on the OS X system.
The additional benefit is that you'll stop Google from mining your data when you surf the web

If you do not like Apple's Safari web browser, download, install and try Mozilla FireFox, instead.

The current, up-to-date version of FireFox is fully compatible with OS X and is regularly updated by the great developers of the Mozilla group.

I have, also, stopped using the Google search engine regularly (due to Google's privacy policies or lack thereof) and I now use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine.
