Workaround 1: Sign out and in Google Account

Somehow this is something to do with your account, for Google server is not probably associated with your ID. Therefore, it's worth trying to temporarily log your current account out. Then, close Chrome and restart your device. After that, log back in your account and see whether it's working now.

Also, if you're not sure which one is the potential culprit, you can go to "┆" > "Settings" > "More tools" > "Task manager". Then, end extensions one by one and check it out on Windows/Mac.

To fix this you need to enable "Save and fill addresses"

I had the same issue because I had disabled the above setting.
