Chrome just updated and now all I get is "aw snap"

I just started Chrome a few minutes ago and it must have updated because my firewall (online armor) asked if I want to allow Chrome, which it asks when the .exe changes after an update. When I clicked allow, Chrome opened and gave the "aw snap" page and all my extensions crashed. Clicking re-load just makes it crash again. Balloons keep popping up saying "click this balloon to reload this extension", and if I click them, the extensions immediately crashe and the balloons pop up again. My home page won't load, all the extensions crash, and I can't even access my settings. Any idea what just happened? I rebooted my PC and ran ccleaner which I use regularly anyways and still the same thing happens. Firefox is running fine, which I'm using currently.

None of that helped. I've done nothing different with my antivirus, firewall, etc since the last time I used Chrome a few hours earlier. I ran a virus scan and nothing was found. I can't disable extensions because Chrome won't even open the settings page. I also tried renaming the "Default" folder and letting Chrome create a new default folder - it created a new folder but still crashed just like before. So I deleted the new folder and renamed the original default folder back since it has all my extensions, settings, and bookmarks, etc.

I have no idea what happened but Chrome is now unusable and I didn't do anything - I just opened it and it crashed and now it won't work. I have all my extensions set up just the way I like so I really hate to lose it all and uninstall it. Is there anything else I can try?

Okay I could really use some help here please.

I gave up and uninstalled Chrome and ran CCleaner. I also checked to make sure my appdata folders were removed along with the program files folder (which they were). I then installed a brand new just-downloaded version of chrome, and the same thing happened as soon as it started for the first time - "aw snap!'.

I really have no idea what to do now. At this point I can't even use Chrome and I have no idea what it did to itself yesterday. Why does a brand-new just-installed version of Chrome crash like this? Can somebody please offer any help on what to do here?

I'm starting a new thread becasue at this point it's technically a new issue as I'm trying a new install. I had a problem yesterday where Chrome updated and ever since it won't work - it just loads and then says "aw snap". Here is the thread where I posted the issue:

Chrome just updated and now all I get is "aw snap"

So today I gave up and uninstalled Chrome, then I checked to make sure all Google and Chrome folders were gone in program files and appdata. I ran CCleaner. I rebooted my pc. Then I installed a fresh version of Chrome, just downloaded. It installed, then when it started it did the same thing - "aw snap". Chrome is now broken on my PC and I have no idea what happened to cause this. I've done nothing out of the ordinary between when it was working yesterday and when it updated yesterday evening.

Can somebody please help me figure this out? Currently I cannot use Chrome at all and I have no idea why.

Did you try turning your Anti-Virus / Firewall off temporarily as a test, i understand you haven't changed anything but Google Chrome updated which means there has been a change... maybe something in the updated version of Chrome is conflicting with your AV or Firewall.

I said in the other thread that I tried all of those things. It's the same anti-virus and firewall I've been using for years, but just to be safe I did disable both of them. It didn't have any effect.
