There are many reasons why Chrome can crash or freeze on MacOS. Sometimes the browser crashes right after the user clicks on the icon, sometimes the tabs in the browser do not work.
Google Chrome is also very RAM-intensive, so if your Mac computer has weak RAM, Chrome will easily crash. If your computer is inherently powerful, the problem may be from Chrome itself.
The following are the most common ways to handle this situation.

Step 2: Select Settings , then scroll down and click on Advanced
Step 3: Find and click on the Clear Browsing Data line

Sometimes installing too many extensions or when something goes wrong will cause Chrome to crash.
To check, go to Chrome in incognito mode and then turn on each extension again to see if any of them are failing.
In the Chrome window, click the 3-dot button in the upper right corner of the window to open the menu, then click New Incognito Window.
