I am on macOS 15.2.
I assume I’ve in some way clicked “could not uncover” units on the native community for Chrome. Now, Chrome cannot open any web site on my native community and reviews “handle unreachable”. I can nonetheless entry all these websites in Safari and even chrome if I take advantage of my VPN.
By analysis, I discovered Settings -> Privateness and Safety -> Native Community -> Chrome.
Chrome is listed there 9 occasions, however the slider is enabled for every occasion.
I am stumped right here. Something I can do?
Replace: Okay, I am making some progress right here.
If I open the Chrome utility immediately (“Present bundle contents” -> “Contents” -> “MacOS” -> “Google Chrome”) and rename the executable, every little thing works simply nice. Apparently sufficient, this provides yet one more entry to the “native community” tab underneath privateness and safety. Analysis yielded that one other entry will get added in the event you ever improve Chrome whereas it is operating.
Sadly, renaming the Utility bundle has no impact.
Thus, it appears to be honest to make the next assumptions:
- My privateness/safety profile for Chrome is in some way damaged, because it has “native community entry” disabled completely – regardless of the place I really put the slider.
- I can not get the “Enable entry” dialogue to spawn once more, thus any utility named “Google Chrome” has native community entry disabled completely.
- Reinstalling Chrome does not assist.
- Both Chrome or MacOS has a difficulty with recognizing {that a} new construct of Chrome isn’t a brand new utility. This results in the various duplicate entries.
Sadly, there does not appear to be an answer proper now:
- It does not appear to be doable to reset “Privateness and Safety” as an entire.
- It does not appear to be doable to delete the safety profile for Chrome.
