| Why can I no longer get net connection using Chrome? When Safari's fine 12:44 - Oct 9 with 4240 views | Ryorry |
Any tech whizzos able to help pls? Now getting no more than a few Kbps on Chrome when it's worked at a good speed for over 4 years. Have deleted cookies/chaches for all time, didn't help; deleting last 7 days' browsing helped get me those few Kbps but not enough for hotmail or gmail.
Maybe it was old version from about 2 years ago - would uninstalling and downloading new version help?
Also - can anyone recommend phone service providers who do wifi calling from mobile please? Cheers if you can help. |  |

Firewall blocking chrome? |
I wonder if it was that as a temporary issue (but would it have allowed me to connect at all? as I was getting 800-900Kbps, enough for a basic html version of some sites to load, just not full versions or other sites).
Anyway - just tried Chrome again on this, the Mac laptop, and unbelievably, it's back to normal this morning - getting 18-21 Mbps! What on earth can yesterday have been about then? I hadn't re-started or rebooted this morning. Apple advisor who I've just spoken with said they're not trained re Chrome (which I think is Android/gmail based) but he thought it was just a glitch with the app. Am currently only using about 33% of storage/memory, so isn't that.
Btw I must say to all who diss Apple products that Apple support really is A1, their advisors are the bees knees in 1-1 support for sorting out all problems either by phone (they call you back) or chat. Don't think you get that using Windows! | |

Interesting thought. I'll run a malware scan, cheers. |
What virus software does your computer have? I know my mum's computer has McAfee which was blocking Microsoft edge for example
Not normally a problem but she likes to start her web browsing from the start bar rather bizarrely |  |

Just Malwarebytes - was told by Apple advisor last time I had a problem (blackscreen, about a year ago iirc) that was all I needed - hope that's correct! | |

That's probably correct. Apologies for not responding yesterday, real life got in the way. Glad to see it's at least sorted for the moment. |  |

Absolutely no problem at all Dan, very much appreciated the advice/input you gave + the 4G comparison site. Totally understand re real life chucking spanners in! | |

That's really interesting, I was thinking about it but decided to go with Firefox as my second browser, just on the grounds of familiarity really - am on that now and quite pleased with it - not quite as fast as Chrome (when it was working at its best) or Safari, but far more user-friendly than the latter. Can actually see tabs! and it's storing my logins, which Safari didn't.
What's good about Brave that makes you recommend it? |
Brave is chrome but with a load of the tracking shlt turned off. |  |

Chrome started out to be a low resource browser and now it performs so much worse. I would consider looking into a Mozilla (Firefox) derivative again as they're starting to get on board with resource management much better now. |  |

Mmm, on same device (Mac laptop now) Firefox is consistently getting 22 Mbps whereas only 21 Mbps on Chrome (still pretty good I think for a basic "family surf" £19.99 monthly via LAN).
Chrome always needs quitting and re-opening at least once per 24 hrs, as otherwise it slows to freezing point - perhaps the poor wee thing just gets tired - I do have loadsa tabs open (about 77 across 4 windows) on it! | |
