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

Incorrect, now is February 2025 and I just updated. I still have the same problem. Apple, what did you do wrong ? How can I solve it.

Have you installed and run any "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up", anti-virus or VPN apps on your Mac?

And, by the way, Apple engineers do not visit these forums which are strictly user-to-user forums. If you want to make your concerns heard by Apple tell Apple what missing features you'd like restored in Photos via Feedback - Photos - Apple

I have been facing the same issues for a few weeks now. For me, majorly, Shopify merchant websites are not opening or taking forever to load. Even their admin/partner dashboards behave the same way.

Steps I took-

1. I tried to reset the Chrome completely and disabled all the extensions. It worked for some time and then behaved the same.
2. I tried to turn off the Firewall (not sure why it's not on by default in my colleague's macOS Sequoia). It seems to be working for now.

Estou com o mesmo problema :(

Tenho tudo no chrome, vai ser um dia muito difícil sem ter acesso.

Arrependido em ter actualizado

My guess is 10-15 people have something installed or a setting on their Macs the others don't.

There is Brave which isn't intrusive as Chrome

This fixed the issue for me. Thanks.

Chrome v129

I was having this issue with websites on my local network. After reading through this post, I remembered that Mac OS had asked me if I wanted to allow Chrome to "find and communicate with devices on your local network". At the time I clicked No. I went in and changed it to yes by turning on the setting (see screenshot below), and now I can access the websites on my local network.

Switch to Safari and continue on with your life.

Nope, it's opening on other devices, like iPhone, iPad, and a non-Sequoia MacBook.

It doesn't open for me on the oldest Apple devices I own, iPad Air 2 running iPadOS 15 and a 2015 iMac running Monterey. No secure connection.

Hi, is there any updates on this? I have updated my Chrome to the latest version. Everything works fine with Safari and Chrome through Windows with Parallels. To be more specific, I cannot download or upload anything from Chrome. I can visit websites, but anytime I want to upload/download something, I can't.

Unfortunately, this is also an issue with YouTube, I can't watch anything through Chrome.

I'm having a different, but Chrome specific issue as well. Specifically, Chrome hangs whenever it attempts to auto-fill any password, on any site. It opens the password entry confirmation dialog, and hangs interminably. This happened after updating to Sequoia (MBA), and uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome from the Google site did not fix it. Needless to say, this has forced me to switch to other browsers since I can't use a broken Chrome. Is there a fix available?

This doesn't seem to be a Chrome-specific issue from our testing. We have found that the issue only happens if we have Netfiltering from our Antivirus turned on. If we turn Net filtering off or completely turn the Antivirus off, then we have no issues with chrome or any other browser.

In my case it wasn't just Chrome, it was all browsers loading excruciatingly slow or not at all.

My particular flavor of this problem was solved by disabling the firewall (System Settings>Network>Firewall). I have a hardware firewall so I "think" I'm OK for now until I have time to go back in to see what rules have changed with the Sequoia update.

Those of you in a work environment where only some and not others are having this problem may want to start there and see what the differences are.

I had an experience in which I could not login to my AT&T account with Apple’s iCloud Private Relay turned on. Turned it off and the login went as usual. VPNs, Firewalls, and of course anti-virus apps can and often do cause all manner of issues like this.
