It shouldn't AFAIK.

What OS?
What version of Chrome?
What version of FFS?

If Chrome is already open, can you continue to browse?

If Chrome is not open, does Chrome.exe show as a hung process in Task Manager (or similar based on OS)?

What are your settings for; Options | Fail safe copy & Copy locked files?

Is your Chrome Profile one of the directories you are syncing?

Do you have a mechanical hard drive? Chrome is intensively heavy during opening because they've bloated it so much. I've seen Chrome fail to open from multiple activities with high disk usage.
