    Every time I upgrade Chrome to a new major version, it sends a notification to the cell phone to tap it, even though I have checked "Don't ask again on this device". :mad:²

    Anyone else seeing suffering tortured by this?

    The reason is simple - you have cookies disabled or you delete them after closing the browser.
    If you use the Brave browser, it is quite impossible not to delete cookies, because their deletion always happens automatically there and it is quite impossible to prevent it, because they have already programmed it in with so-called hard code.
    But in Chrome, just don't delete necessary (useful) cookies.

    Of course, it is also possible that the contents of the User Data folder are corrupted and cookies are simply not being saved.
    If so, creating a new folder and deleting the old one will help. Chrome will do this itself the next time you start it, if you have deleted or renamed the old one. If synchronization is enabled, everything necessary will be restored automatically. You may need to install some extensions manually.

    Nope. Even when I use CCleaner with some cookies excluded, I don't have issues with chrome every time I restart the machine. Problem appears when I install manually from the chrome msi file. Sometimes it happens with minor updates, always happens when upgrading a new major version like going from 135 to 136.

    I've been facing this since last year, at the beginning. Didn't happen before in 2023 backwards, iirc.
    No it's not. I have 5 different profiles and all of them have the same "issue".

    Why do you update using msi and not exe (permissionless)? Why do not you update by clicking on About? Why do you update manually at all? Sorry, I am just curious. I only have to update Edge manually, because it is broken.

    I like it and works for me.
    Actually I stop and disable update services.
    Because I like it. I want control.
    No problem.

    I respect that, I used to do it similarly, but I got tired playing cat and mouse game.
