How do I restart Chrome (and why does it help)?
Closing Chrome completely and opening it again clears up most small glitches, including ones affecting Scam SafeGuard.
- Close every Chrome window you have open (not just one tab — every window).
- Check Chrome has fully closed. On Windows, look at the taskbar; on a Mac, check the Dock doesn't still show a green dot under the Chrome icon.
- If Chrome is still running in the background, right-click its icon and choose "Quit" (Mac) or "Close" (Windows).
- Open Chrome again as you normally would.
Why this helps: Chrome extensions sometimes get into a confused state — for example, after Chrome updates itself in the background. A full restart clears that out and lets Scam SafeGuard start fresh.
