I've not had a problem with Chrome but generally apps can misbehave, try clearing the apps cache...

Notifications> Settings> Apps> All tab> Select Chrome and clear cache.

If that doesn't work you could try force stopping it and then clearing the cache, may work may not.

It could also be a different app clashing with chrome. But your the only person I've heard of with this problem.

Yes it is, at the top you'll see three tabs.

Downloaded, Running and All, simply swipe across the screen to switch between the tabs to the all tab and the you'll find Chrome. :-)

It happens sometimes, same as computer programs crash or become unresponsive. Not allot you can do to be honest but if it happens regularly then something isn't right.

You don't need to uninstall Chrome, in fact you can't unless your rooted because it's a system app. Just clear the app cache and try launching it again.
