If you have a lot of bookmarks in Chrome which sync across devices or rely heavily on Google apps (which tend to work better in Chrome than Safari or Firefox) it looks like you're in for a bumpy ride. For macOS users, however, it looks like you're going to have to find another browser until Apple and Google work this out. You can now open Google Chrome from your Applications folder or by using Apple’s Spotlight Search. In the pop-up window, click and drag the Google Chrome icon into the Applications folder directly below it. Open your Downloads folder and double-click the googlechrome.dmg file. Apple may yet discover the flaw is within its own software, but the response sets up a potential stand-off with Google about this issue, which is unlikely to result in a speedy conclusion. Now, click Download Chrome for Mac > Save File > OK. The response conflicts with the statements from Google Chrome engineers (below) which placed the blame squarely on Apple (a faulty graphics card driver was thought to be a potential cause).
The flaw is spectacular with graphics shattering into a mass of horizontal blue lines (see examples below) but, understandably, many users are angry.Ġ6/13 Update: Apple has responded to me saying it has no information on this problem but has promised to keep me in the loop should this change. To reinstall Chrome, you should go to the Play Store and search for Google Chrome.
Picked up by excellent investigative tech site PiunikaWeb, Google has confirmed that Google Chrome is suffering from severe graphical glitches on macOS (and MacBooks, in particular) with many of the web’s most popular sites refusing to render.
