L tried other browsers.

Reinstalling Chrome.

Must be something funky going on with Xfinity.

 

I ran DNS Jumper and it took an unusually long time to test the DNS servers.

 

We are having extreme cold in PA tonight.

 

May be affecting cable internet.

no, shouldn't need to if configured properly. Can you elaborate?

 

Edit: works as it should, and the task ends properly. I don't understand. ???

So I rebooted my desktop, and then Chrome worked right away.

 

I guess a Reboot is always the first step to try ....

 

All is well again. :)

So, your browser glitches out and your first instinct is to post about it here?  Before even rebooting your machine to see if that fixes it.  Dang, bro.  Sounds like you're just kinda lonely.

All other browsers, and Internet was working.

 

Only Chrome was not connecting.

 

It was late and I was tired.

 

Sue me for not thinking clearly ...

It's a conspiracy!

Only if there's a YouTube video to prove it !

 

 

Chrome wouldn't connect again tonight.

 

Yes, I rebooted to fix it.

 

But why would only Chrome not connect while Firefox does ?

 

Running the latest Chrome.

 

Bug in the software .... ?

I tried completely uninstalling Chrome, removing Registry entries, turning off malware protection, then reinstalling Chrome.

 

Still doing the gray screen; not connecting.

 

I can only guess it is related to Windows updates.

 

Chrome is not connecting at all now. :/

I see now what the problem is.

 

There is something incompatible between the latest Chrome and my Malware protection.

 

When I set protection to maximum, Chrome is blocked from connecting.

 

So I set protection to 1 lower setting.

 

Chrome works normally now.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      Nice rant! Expletive after expletive after expletive. Poor petal, I've touched a nerve. Would you like a tissue to wipe those tears away. Btw, nice one calling Neowin trash. Why would you stick around when you disrespect this site and the people behind it? Just go away if you feel that way.

    • Internet Download Manager (IDM) 6.43 Build 1

      By Copernic · Posted

      Internet Download Manager (IDM) 6.43 Build 1 by Razvan Serea Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a tool to increase download speeds by up to 8 times due to its smart dynamic file segmentation technology. Unlike other download managers and accelerators, Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during download process, and it reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve the best possible acceleration performance. Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages. All popular browsers are supported IDM integrates seamlessly into Google Chrome, FireFox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Maxthon and all other popular browsers to automatically handle your downloads. You can also drag and drop files, or use Internet Download Manager from command line. The program supports proxy servers, ftp and http protocols, firewalls, redirects, cookies, authorization, MP3 audio and video content processing. IDM includes web site spider and grabber IDM downloads all required files that are specified with filters from web sites, for example all pictures from a web site, or subsets of web sites, or complete web sites for offline browsing. It's possible to schedule multiple grabber projects to run them once at a specified time, stop them at a specified time, or run periodically to synchronize changes. Easy downloading with one click When you click on a download link in a browser, IDM will take over the download and accelerate it. You don't need to do anything special, just browse the Internet as you usually do. IDM will catch your downloads and accelerate them. IDM supports HTTP, FTP, HTTPS and MMS protocols. Changes in Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 1: Added the ability to download MP4 files from web sites where previously only TS videos were available. IDM displays both TS and MP4 file formats in its video download button. If you only need MP4 files, disable TS in IDM Options -> General tab -> Customize IDM Download panels in browsers -> Edit button. Remove TS extension on "Customize IDM Download panel in browsres" dialog Fixed video downloading problems on several popular web sites Fixed bugs Download: Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 1 | 11.9 MB (Shareware) Links: Internet Download Manager Website | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      This is of course "clickbait" WTF? It is literally your example but tech based. A "clickbait" title is a sensationalized headline designed to manipulate readers into clicking a link using things like "fear" rather than delivering objective facts. A "clickbait" headline also usually provides little value compared to the hype generated. How does this headline not qualify? It's a generic often reused headline that is overly sensationalized. Oh no! "millions" can't use this app anymore. It has no basic facts like what f*cking app. You read the article and it's the Samsung VPN which no one cares about and there is a million free VPNs. How are you defending this ######? Headlines like this (and among other things) make me read Neowin much less than I used to in the past. It's trash...
