Chrome crashes immediately on startup. Every. Time.

Hi all,

Chrome dies about 10 seconds after being opened. Have tried reinstalling, deleting Keychain sync and most other solutions online (haven't deleted user folder yet as I can't lose all my bookmarks - need them for studies. Any solution would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Hold down the option key and select Library from Finder's Go menu. Look inside the following folders for files related to Chrome:


~/Library/Preferences

~/Library/Caches

~/Library/Application Support


Move groups of Chrome-related files out to the Desktop and relaunch Chrome. If it still crashes, put the files back, and move out a different set. Repeat until you have found the problem file and trash it.
