If you are using Accio Work for your e-commerce automation and find yourself stuck on the "Connecting..." status within the browser extension, you are not alone. This is the most common friction point for new users in 2026, often caused by the Chrome M144+ kernel updates.
This guide provides a permanent fix to restore your Accio Work connectivity in less than 3 minutes.
Why Does the "Connecting" Error Happen?
The M144 error typically stems from a mismatch between the Chrome browser's updated security protocols and the Accio Work local bridge. When Chrome updates its internal communication ports, the extension loses its handshake with the desktop agent.
The 3-Step Solution
Step 1: Verify Your Version
Ensure you are running the latest Accio Work desktop client (v2.4.x or higher). Old versions do not include the dynamic port-mapping feature required for newer Chrome builds.
Step 2: Apply the "Accio Pioneer" M144 Patch
We have developed a lightweight patch that forces the extension to re-sync with the local bridge.
- Download the patch from our Gitee Mirror (for faster access) or GitHub.
- Close all Chrome instances.
- Run the
fix_m144.sh(Mac/Linux) orfix_m144.bat(Windows) script.
Step 3: Refresh the Extension
Open Chrome, go to chrome://extensions, and toggle the Accio Work extension OFF and then ON again. You should see the status change to "Connected" immediately.
Pro Tip: Using the Isolated Sandbox
To avoid future kernel conflicts, we recommend using Accio's built-in Isolated Sandbox Browser. This environment is pre-configured to bypass common Chrome update issues and provides a more stable foundation for multi-account management.
