Xperia Z2 Chrome "Unfortunately Chrome has Stopped"

[Noca]

I am having an issue with the Chrome app on my phone. When I try to access the internet, I do the following.

1-Open 'Google'

2-Type in whatever

3-Select chrome.

Everything works until I select chrome. The window suddenly closes then a pop-up appears stating "Unfortunately Chrome has stopped."

I have done some googling on the subject, and have completed the following in an attempt to fix it.

1- turned phone off and on again

2-Gone to 'Apps' selected 'Chrome'. Forced stop, then cleared data and cache

3 - uninstalled chrome, forcing it to factory default. Went to play store and downloaded updates.

4- restarted phone a few more times

End result: No change. I still get the error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

This might be related to google search. Why don't you access chrome directly? Not through google search.

Tried. That doesn't work either. When I open Chrome directly, a window flashes then the error immediately appears.

Try to remove your google account and clear cache and data for google play services.

didn't work.

Also made sure everything on my phone was up to date. Still no dice.
