How to continue working in the terminal after starting the program?

Question

Command line

Actually, the essence of the problem is that after starting Chrome in the terminal, an invitation for entering commands does not appear, but some messages appear, apparently related to the operation of Chrome. Although, as you can see in the screenshot, before that I ran Sublime Text and everything started fine.

Answer 2

Apparently, when you selected the "Make Google Chrome your default browser" option, it created three files. They are located in /local/share/applications, you have to click "Show hidden files" this option shows all files in this folder. Delete every file that is named Chrome and deleting those files will cause Google Chrome to start correctly. PS Personally, this method helped me.
