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.

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved and is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.
Does it still crash if you log in to a different user account and launch it from there?
No, it doesn't.
Thank you!
This did NOT work for me. I have done it multiple times, and when I install a new version of Chrome, it still crashes immediately upon starting it.
Chrome crashes immediately on startup. Every. Time.
