React native: The "Google Chrome" application cannot be started - google-chrome

Today i've attempted to start dev environment, as usual and got this alert:
Nothing seems to be changed. One thing I've noticed is that chrome started asking for update today. The error has shown up before i've restarted chrome and updated it. But still, i assume, there were some critical changes introduced and begun breaking things once again. Anyone got/solved it already?
OS X 10.11.6
Chrome 57.0.2987.133

Looks like a Parallels issue, do you have Chrome installed on a Windows VM on your Mac using Parallels?
If so, removing Chrome from Windows to see if the problem still persists might be the first test.
My theory is that RN is trying to launch Chrome but it's locating the one inside of the VM instead of the app on OSX.

Chromedriver launching data;; browser after updating to V100 (both chromedriver and Chrome browser)

I'm running automated test scripts using webdriver.io. Issue is, the code stopped running after updating the chromedriver to 100.0.4896.60 which is recommended for chrome browser v100 that is currently installed. It was working fine in all the previous versions (v93 thru v99). Im getting the data;; screen and I dont see any errors on the terminal (VS Code)
I wont be able to upgrade or downgrade the browser versions. Could anyone help?
It was a case of access issues with DevTools of chrome. After getting proper access the issue is resolved.

Uninstalls from ChromeOS increased in my extension. Have ChromeOS any browser API difference from other OS?

I have the extension New Tab Studio https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-tab-studio-countdown/epngggilgnflanfabeldfpbgponcgpgl
Several days ago uninstalls from ChromeOS became so big (other OS - as usual).
I wanna try to install ChromeOS on VirtualBox and test my extension, but it's not a very easy task, maybe it's easier to buy Chromebook.
But first of all,
Can my extension has specific bug only for ChromeOS?
Also, I have anonymous messages from google forms, that app crashes (on the background button click), but I cannot reproduce any bugs on Mac OS or Windows.
I reproduced it on Linux (i think that the cores of ChromeOS browser and Linux are the same)
So, the case was that I had the image with path /all.jpeg, but was requesting /All.jpeg. MacOS and Windows was fine with this typo, they even show me the image.
But Linux (and I guess ChromeOS) crashed the extension. And the crash was observed only in the extension installed from Chrome Web Store (my local production build just didn't show the image, but worked fine)

PhpStorm Ubuntu 18.041 browsers do not start

I'm using PhpStorm in Ubuntu 18.041 and facing a serious problem.
I've tried several configurations (JavaScript, PHP remote) with Chrome and Firefox but none of them is starting the browser. I do not get any error message, the browser window just do not appear.
The service desk helped me to solve this issue. It seems that the installation was not completed correctly. I started PHPStorm from the shell and it lead me again trough the initial configuration. Since that is is working normally.

Inconsistent Extension Behavior on Google Chrome Installs

I have observed inconsistent behavior using the Web Developer extension (Chris Pederick) in Google Chrome on these different machines:
My PC running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
A VirturalBox Virtual Machine (VM) running Ubuntu 12 on my PC
A VM running a updated, fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on my PC
I have the same version of Google Chrome and Web Developer installed on all these machines. However, for some reason, Web Developer does not work as expected on my PC. It works perfectly on the Ubuntu VM and the Windows VM.
On my PC, about 95% of the time the Custom Tools functions (Validate CSS, Validate HTML, etc.) in Web Developer do nothing when clicked (they should open new tabs to the W3C validators).
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Google Chrome on my PC several times. I have even manually gone through the file system and registry to completely remove all traces of Google Chrome before reinstalling. Nothing I've attempted so far has corrected this problem.
Of course, due to Google's 'field trials', all these machines have slightly different variations (as reported by chrome://version), but I would doubt that is the source of the problem.
Any ideas or suggestions?
OK, here's a possible clue...
It has baffled me why this problem NEVER occurs in my virtual machine (VM); only on the host. Same version of OS, Chrome, and Web Developer installed on both. May have discovered why.
My standard settings for VMs is to use only one CPU. As a test, I changed the VM to use two CPUs. BOOM! I can reproduce the problem on my VM. Change back to one CPU - can not reproduce the problem.
Does this suggest a problem with threading in Chrome?

How to troubleshoot Google Chrome Sync issues?

I am using custom sync options to synchronize only some of the artifacts from a Google chrome installation - just Bookmarks, Extensions and Open Tabs. All three are working on well on my two windows computers - but on the Linux machine, I am not getting the extensions. I have tried wiping the Linux Chrome data (by removing ~/.config/google-chrome/ and re-configuring it, the the problem remains the same.
I am wondering if there are any logs that the chrome browser produces that can give me a hint on what the problem might be.
Thanks a lot
Looks like this is not a bug but a "feature", different support of extension per OS, but seems there might be hope this is fixed in future releases see:
Chrome Web Store to get multi-platform app support for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and Chrome OS
