Can't choose files to attach on any browser, only drag to attach. Also, Chrome doesn't work at all.

This is so frustrating, can't attach any files via choosing a file, only drag to attach and that option doesn't exists on every website. I've tried it using Safari and FireFox, same result - clicking the paperclip just doesn't do anything.

Another problem is that Chrome browser doesn't work at all. It opens up and seems to be working but when I try to navigate anywhere it just gets stuck, seemingly processing but not really. Tried to clear out browsing data, same thing - stuck on seemingly processing.

Tried all sorts of solutions I found online, nothing works.

Both problems started (I think at the same time) around a month ago, out of nowhere. I'm guessing something automaticly updated that caused all this. Oh, Whatsapp Web app also stoped working (via Safari it still works).

I'm using MacBook Air (M1, 2020), macOS Monterey 12.6. No updates available.


Please help!!!

There’s a paper clip tool in Safari?

Do you have an extension installed that does that or just something I’ve missed over the years?


I’ve found the drop zones sometimes don’t work on my M1 , but the open file dialog has no issues.


Some of the behavior could be adware you installed with something law you thought was legitimate. EtreCheck may be able to help you find and remove it.
