First, update to Sequoia 15.7.2, the current version. Google Chrome 142.0.7444.162 should not crash on Sequoia. Make sure it's up to date as well. If it still crashes after updating everything, try starting Chrome in Safe Mode by holding the shift key while starting Chrome.
Short and unpopular suggestion for some

Has it always been this way for you? If not, what changed between when it worked and when it does not work?
Give Brave a try. It's essentially Chrome without Google. It might work.
Why are you using Chrome instead of Safari?
Here's some food for thought:
Google is known to "phone home" with users data as was found out with this new Google Photos service: Google Photos may be free — but there's still a cost.

If you like Chrome you might try Brave Browser, which is essentially Chrome without the Google data mining and system resource hogging.
The reason for Chrome is that in order to upload NFT's I need either Firefox or Chrome or some browsers I've never heard of. Firefox has issues so I wanted to try Chrome. I usually use Safari.
It worked on my old 2014 machine, but I just bought a new one with an updated OS and Chrome keeps crashing.
