If on the Zsh shell on the macOS Terminal, you get an error "cd: too many arguments" then the reason for it is that you provide multiple arguments to the cd command while it can have only one argument.
Example:
% cd ~/Library/Application Support/Google Chrome
cd: too many arguments
Fix:
All you need to do is wrap the path within double quotes if there are spaces in the path.
% cd "~/Library/Application Support/Google Chrome"
