I'm using Catalina on this Mac and my parents told me it doesn't work. I tried reinstalling chrome but same thing, the entire computer starts freezing up when you open it. A window appears and it's just solid grey and nothing happens, it eventually crashes.

Is chrome done for this Mac?
I planned on getting a macbook for them for Christmas but it looks it'll have to be sooner if chrome won't work anymore.

Thanks!

How much ram is installed?

I would try chromium instead if possible see if symptoms persist if it doesn't then it's a Google problem if it does then you might have something else going on. Did you replace the HDD yet?

I think the 128mb of VRAM might be the problem

That would make sense too

It's something to do with the latest version of chrome. Try using an older version and blocking updates on it.
