If your Google Chrome browser is experiencing slow performance or displaying unexpected behavior due to unwanted extensions, themes, or unintended changes to settings, resetting it to its default state might help resolve these issues.
Step 1: Open Google Chrome on your computer. Click on the Customize and control
menu, represented by three vertical dots located at the top-right corner of the browser window.
Step 2: In the dropdown menu that appears, select Settings
to access Chrome's configuration options.
Step 3: On the Settings page, locate and click on the Advanced
option in the left sidebar to expand additional settings.
Step 4: Under the advanced settings, click on Reset and clean up
to find options for restoring Chrome to its original state.
Step 5: Select the option labeled Restore settings to their original defaults
. This will open a confirmation dialog explaining what the reset will do.
Step 6: In the confirmation dialog, click the Reset settings
button to proceed with resetting Chrome. This action will revert any changes made to your browser settings.
After completing these steps, Chrome will reset to its default settings. Your bookmarks, history, and saved passwords will remain unaffected, but you may need to adjust your preferences again to customize your browsing experience.
Resetting Chrome can help eliminate unwanted changes and improve browser performance, ensuring a smoother and more secure browsing session.
