Is there any way to stop chrome opening on startup? it isn't in any user's startup folder or listed for any user's task manager "start-up" tab. 

Have looked on google but no-one could figure it out (That was 7 months ago, so something could have changed).

 

thx

I see a lot of people put their computer here

Mine is an m1 macbook air xD

base model

 

planning to get an m1x mac mini when it exists for heavier video editing

 

Switched to mac from windows cause most of what I do is either internet browsing, photo editing or video editing and wanted Final Cut cause that magnetic timeline is NOT the same as ripple editing in resolve/premiere/vegas pro (a sad excuse of a NLE btw) and is much faster for MY workflow

Try this

- Start

Chrome may be there.

Hmm does it open in the new tab page or on some website? Maybe some other program is and it opens a web page Everytime.

Uninstall it.... you may think I'm joking... I'm not.

 

Get rid of it and install firefox instead... or Opera, Safari... almost anything except Edge & Chrome. They are not good for your privacy or your data protection... and Chromes new 'ad blocking' by default doesn't block 99% of the ads because that's it's business... and it does it's best to break functionality of plugins that block is insipid data slurping.
