To be honest, I did not figure it out. I found it from another site but I thought I would share just in case the people on here didn't go looking for a solution like I did.

FIX:
1. Launch Chrome, and perform the following tasks as quickly as possible.
2. Tap the Menu button in the upper right hand corner (3 horizontal bars) and select Settings.
3. Then you’ll want to tap the Privacy tab, and select the option to Send Usage Data.
4. Change this option to Always and tap done in the upper right hand corner.
You have to do it really fast. Took about 10 times for me to figure out where everything was but it works. You will need to scroll down to get Settings. Privacy is immediately visible but Send Usage Data is at the bottom of the page, 2nd to last.

Gosh!! This is very much unlike Google. Guys please fix this alpha release. Crashes on 4S without even touching it.
Folks, please wait for Google to release the fixed version.

For me I open the app, let it sit for about 4 seconds from when I tap on the apps icon and it crashes.
iPhone 4s on 6.1.2 jailbroken with pull to refresh and browser changer installed.

Yeah definitely a jailbreak problem. I hope someone can do a fix on this. I don't want to have to stick with safari for too long. Miss my tabs and bookmarks and easiness of use.

This update broke Chrome entirely for me!
Previously, Chromed worked well for me, but since this update, whenever I type something into the address bar, the app crashes the instant I press 'return'... every. single. time.
This means Chrome is currently totally unusable for me, so I'm forced to reluctantly switch back to Safari.
For what it's worth, I'm running iOS 6.1 on an iPhone 5. I'm also jailbroken, however I do not have any browser-related tweaks installed, and Crash Reporter is pointing directly at Chrome for the 20 crash reports logged for Chrome in the past half hour.
I really hope this is fixed asap.
