Chrome doesn’t start on Mac OS
I successfully installed Chrome on my Mac. However, when I'm trying to start it the browser icon just bounces in the dock once and disappears. Reinstalling, rebooting Mac and other options found on forums didn't help at all. How to fix this problem?
After a lot of investigation, I've finally found the solution (so I decided to put it as an answer here).
You need to open Terminal (Spotlight search - type "terminal") and run the following command:
sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome
It will remove Chrome user data so use it at your own risk, but at least it helped me to run Chrome on macOS. Other approaches that seemed safer didn't work for me. You need to back up the Chrome folder beforehand if you're worried about losing your data.
OK. I did not have the Chrome folder under ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google So I just deleted the "Google" folder under "Application Support" and that fixed it!! deleted the Google folder - re-started Chrome and the Google folder and other folders under it got created
