Update Browser

- On Chrome, click the menu with three dots.
- Get there by going to Help > About Google Chrome.
- If Chrome is already up-to-date, you’ll see a pop-up message that says “Google Chrome is up-to-date.” If not, you can click the Update button to keep going.

If you add a new extension to Google Sheets and then find that it won’t load, turn off the extension and try to upload your spreadsheet again.
If you can’t figure out which extension is causing the problem, try using Google Sheets in Incognito Mode. This turns off most Chrome extensions temporarily.
