The browser closes seconds after the start about com.google.chrome

The same happened here.

Debian issues a warning about the flatpak application running in the background. I believe this behavior is due to permission denial.
I installed Chromium, allowed it and everything flows well in Chromium.
I tried reinstalling Chrome, but the warning doesn't appear again.

flatpak run com.google.Chrome

Running Chrome in Terminal doesn't have this problem that persists despite updates. For now, the best solution is to install a customization app and pin the above command as exec.

After a failed start, does journalctl --user -e show any relevant errors?

[refi64]

If I had to immediately guess, you might be setting up some env vars that Flatpak needs inside the .bashrc or somewhere else that's only sourced for terminals but not opening apps through the UI?

I don't really know because it's the first time I execute the command. No changes were made to the default installation from Flathub.

@CiscoDeTours do you still see this issue? I see a similar issue where (on first launch) Chrome tries to start for 2 seconds, then closes, launching Chrome immediatly afterwards works.

@Mershl
In my case, the issue persists in a loop on each startup.

@navigos
You're right. Re-enabling the background permission using Flatseal solved this issue.

[navigos]

@CiscoDeTours This solved it for me.
flatpak uninstall --delete-data com.google.Chrome

@navigos
Glad to know that there is a CLI method.
