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

I upgraded my Mac yesterday and since then Chrome does not load most websites. I first cleared the Cache and that did not work. I deleted Chrome and reinstalled and that did not work. Anyone have any other suggestion's?

After updating Sequoia, can’t open Chrome, can’t download or install Chrome. Tried sending Chrome to trash, rebooting, redownloading using Safari (ugh) NOTHING WORKS. Thanks, Apple.

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

Even with the latest update or a fresh installation Chrome fails to access a local website in my home network since I upgraded my MacBook M1 Pro to Sequoia.


But it works if I start Chrome from the command line (or in the Finder from /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome)!


There is the same problem with Firefox, but for Firefox the command line trick does not work.
