For the third time now, randomly the Google Chrome.app just completely vanishes from my Macbook pro. It's nowhere to be found in the Applications folder, or in the dock. Chrome application shortcuts remain (i.e. "Google Chat"), but they do not open now because the app is not there.... I have to reinstall Chrome again, but I've done it before and it just disappeared again now....
I'm running Sonoma 14.0
MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 2023)
Perhaps if you've not already applied last or latest security update for macOS
that may likely cure some pending issues, from earlier year's introductions(?)

You may be able to choose from inside the Ventura 13.5 shipped mac
system & try/use an update or upgrade link; as these probably have
not changed all that much, in newest 2 or 3 macOS. [Mine are older.]
Using brand new out of the box MacBook Pro, Ventura 13.5.
Every time I turn it off, when I turn it back on Google Chrome is uninstalled.
Any solution to this? I use the Google suite for work so I really need this.
Do I need to return this laptop purchase and get a windows based laptop?
Sonoma is still in Beta and bugs are expected. The final release will likely take care of this but until then, you'll have to contend with bugs.
Even if it were solved, there's no guarantee it might not come right back. That's the nature of Beta releases.
