After updating my MacBook Pro to Sequoia Chrome is not loading most websites

Some people suggest that you disable the Fifrewall for the time being, while other suggest using this procedure to allow Chrome and Firefox to use the Firewall.

1. Open the terminal app.
2. Find the path to your web browser under /Applications. You can list available software by running ls -l /Applications in the terminal.
3. You can run this command to check
4. Then, run this command to add your browser to the firewall (despite it being already there, I know). E.g.:

• To allow Firefox access, run:
  • /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add /Applications/Firefox.app
• To allow Google Chrome access, run:
  • /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app

So, I’ve just resolved one of my problems. There is a new setting: Access to local network in Security and Privacy. But some other sites are still unreachable.

So use a different browser until Google gets its act together.

Turns out I can open it if I run it as superuser:

sudo /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome

This is not a very secure way to do things, but I really to depend on Chrome.

same issue, update to MacOS sequoia, chrome now can't load some local sites like servers, unvr from unifi... other items locally will load like the unifi router, proxmox server.... seems hit or miss. Clearing cache of chrome, doing full removal and command line clearing of other files, fresh download, still no dice on some sites.

Safari and FF work just fine. androids and other devices can reach the same internal servers etc with no issue.

This is still an ongoing issue for me.

Mac Mini - Sequoia 15.0.1

Chrome - Version 129.0.6668.101 (Official Build) (arm64)

192.168.1.1 loads for local router login

192.168.1.2 for nvr says error, reload page like it doesn't exist. same for a few other LAN servers that never had issues before.

Deleting chrome, doing the manual terminal removal process, rebooting and downloading chrome again, same issues.

I was having an issue with Safari and 15.0.1 where my Yahoo home page would not load half the time. The only fix was to turn off the firewall. This is my desktop Mac so my router security should be OK until Apple addresses the issue.

Just to add, add the Arc,DuckDuckGo & Tor browsers.

There is Brave which isn't intrusive as Chrome

For me chrome survived the upgrade to Sequoia, but this morning, after updating Chrome, it refused to start. Rebooted the machine, reinstalled Chrome, no effect. Trying to launch it from the command line gives me:

Apple did absolutely nothing wrong. Chrome has continued to work as it aways has for me, starting with 15.1, 15.2, 15.2.1, and now 15.3.

And it is not Apple’s responsibility to make sure third party apps continue to work with each update of macOS. That is literally impossible. It is the third party app developers obligation to keep their software compatible with macOS updates, period.

Finally, there have been at least three updates to Chrome lately and still not an issue for me or the vast majority of Chrome users. So if you continue to wait for Apple to “fix” something you’ll be waiting a very long time.

Read through the last 7 pages of comments in this thread to see how some have resolved their issues with Chrome.

Just for fun, I dug out a Windows 10 laptop I still have and it gives the same error. So if you have something that can open that site, I suggest you use them.

Had similar issue. I removed Chrome to trash and download again and now all works. Did not lose bookmarks.

There is also a bug in the Firewall preventing some apps from updating. I have heard the FireFox and Chrome have been two likely candidates.

Switch to Safari and continue on with your life.
