I dont have any browser, until google chrome fails me just now. In my case 'Pages not loading in Chrome' caused by chrome extensions. I disable all. Oct 29, 2018 - Google Chrome browser now blocks most Adobe Flash content by default. This is a problem for courses which rely on Flash-based content.
Internet Connection
Test for problems with your Internet connection by loading a variety of different sites in Chrome, switching to a different Web browser, and running an application that requires Internet access to function, such as Spotify or Outlook. Try resetting the network router, upgrading the installed drivers for your network card or adapter, and checking connections across the local network if you can't get online. If the connectivity problems persist, contact your Internet service provider for assistance.
Browser Issue
Switching to an alternative Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox can determine whether your problems are restricted to Google Chrome. If websites can be accessed without issue in an alternative browser, try clearing out the cache and cookies stored by Chrome from the Settings page. Switching off the 'Predict network actions to improve page load performance' option under the Privacy heading may also fix the problem. Uninstalling the software and then reinstalling the latest version from the official Google Chrome website can help. This process resets the browser settings, clears away any corrupted temporary files or settings from disk, and applies the latest compatibility updates and bug fixes from the developers.
Extensions and Add-ons
Faulty extensions and add-ons running on top of Google Chrome can also affect the browser's functionality. Choose 'Tools,' then 'Extensions' from the Chrome menu to see a list of installed extensions. Disable or remove the extensions one by one, restarting Chrome each time, to check if any of these tools are causing issues. If you do identify an extension that's causing a problem, contact the developer about an upgrade or bug fix.
Third-party Software
It's possible that your anti-virus or firewall software is blocking Chrome and preventing it from accessing the Web. Check the settings within your installed security software, and update these programs to the latest versions, to make sure this is not the case. Alternatively, a malware infection may be blocking your Internet connection. Run a thorough system scan to look for problems and install an additional on-demand scanner -- such as Spybot Search And Destroy -- to locate and remove any security threats.
