About Google Chrome

Google Chrome offers a free tier that covers most daily needs. If it fails to open, crashes or runs slowly, the fixes in this guide address the causes: outdated versions, a full cache, missing drivers or an unstable connection.

Fix it now

On Android: Settings > Apps > Google Chrome > Storage > Clear cache. On Windows: Settings > Apps > Google Chrome > Advanced options > Reset.

2. Use an official alternative

If the app will not work, try an official free alternative with the same features rather than unofficial cracked builds.
