[Chrome] ERR_CONNECTION_RESET when trying to view Neowin


Question

The past week or so I have been seeing some strange errors on Google Chrome with certain websites, and it appears to be just one website at a time. For a few days I could not access Google, and then I Uninstalled and Re-installed Chrome and the issue was resolved. Now I am receiving an error when attempting to view the Neowin site. However, here is the strange part. It is happening on More than one computer. The website works without issue (connection wise, the pages is all sorts of broken) in IE10 however, in Chrome the site is a nogo. Here is a screen capture of the error I receive when attempting to go to Neowin.net on Chrome. Also If I click the reload button enough times it will eventually load however, if I click any links it goes back to this screen.

I believe the issue is with Chrome.

I used to encounter this issue regularly with various websites. Now I encounter it less often, but still with various websites.

I'm on the Dev channel if that helps at all >.<

Sounds like DNS specific to Chrome.

Try disabling DNS Prefetching, possibly purging your dns cache, and restart chrome.

EDIT: The other possibility is an infection of sorts. Are you seeing this with any other sites? Up to day virus/malware protection and recent scan done?

Sounds like the issue I also have, mainly with google.com and google calender. (using Chrome 26.0.1410.43)

It seems to be fixed by clearing cache and cookies or flushing the socket pools in chrome://net-internals/#sockets (as I saw suggested on the Google forums, bunch of people with the same issues)- I've never managed to get a site load simply by reloading it lots of times, I always have to do either one of the things I wrote.

Never had issues like this before but now it pops up every now and then. No trouble with Neowin though!

I am running Version 28.0.1469.0 dev-m

How do you disable the DNS prefetching is that the "Predict network actions to improve page load performance" option?

I have disabled that Prediction option and it appears to be working better, perhaps that was the issue all along, I have never experienced this issue before the end of March though, very strange.

Unloading prefetch should fix it. Sometimes it doesn't work well with a round robin dns.

It's a good idea, I guess, but dns is so fast and responsive globally now that there's little point in prefetching a few bytes.

it would appear that unchecking that did not resolve the problem, a clicking to go into this thread after seeing an update to it presented the error message again for approximately 3 minutes of clicking reload before it actually loaded the page.

Did you clear your cache?

    • Rubbish talentless people hired on basis of filling a certain quota will always lead to rubbish company decisions. I am stumped at the thought that people are still OK with DEI after the hell that the gaming industry is going through.
    • I mean, to say that Xbox lost is soul, is the exact same argument you could make about Sony. Clearly, the console space is not the as it was a decade ago, as it was a decade before that and another before that. Generational shifts and market trends clearly defined the space we're currently at. One thing is clear, gaming is not going anywhere, it only continues to grow, for better or for worse. Microsoft pivoted to a publisher focused, and now they want to dominate console streaming, which they seem to have a considerable leg up over Sony on this regard as Internet reliability and speeds keep improving, console hardware might not be a feasible model unless you follow the Nintendo route of making the hardware at a profit (considering its limitations). Also, it seems now that Microsoft pivoted the Xbox branding, that could open the door for 3rd party hardware companies make Consoles that run Windows-Xbox OS, which is something interesting to consider, which would convert Xbox into an Android like approach.
    • UK planning measures to stop illegal content from going viral by Usama Jawad Image via Pixabay A few days ago, we learned that the UK's digital regulator Ofcom has mandated adult websites like Pornhub to put robust age check mechanisms in place to ensure that age-inappropriate content like pornography is not readily available to minors. Now, the government-approved authority has set its sights on a new target. According to an announcement on its website, Ofcom is now holding a consultation period for a set of measures it is proposing to curb the spread of illegal content online. These methods are a part of Ofcom's "Year of Action" initiative, where the regulator is taking decisive practical actions to ensure the online safety of the UK's citizens. Ofcom is proposing the implementation of better recommender systems and crisis response protocols to restrict illegal content from going viral online. In addition, it has also proposed the utilization of proactive mechanisms like hash checks for illegal images to nip the problem in the bud and not even allow any such visual content to be published online. Furthermore, the regulator will be asking tech firms and social media platform owners to leverage artificial intelligence systems in order to detect content like fraud and suicide. People who regularly engage in the practice of publication of illegal content online will also be punished with new sanctions. Lastly, Ofcom wants to build upon its existing child protection codes and capabilities online. It is planning to do this by placing restrictions on interactions between minors and streamers during livestreams. It will urge website owners to block users who share child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and is also proposing the development of AI tools to detect grooming activities and CSAM. The consultation period is open until 5pm on October 20, 2025. Ofcom is soliciting feedback from "service providers", law enforcement authorities, and the public until that deadline to finalize its proposal.
    • What are you talking about? I have had 4 Samsung fold devices and they all have the crease. It is not as noticable when facing straight on but its still noticable.
