google chrome???

[gorman20]

hey for quite some time me and the majority of my friends have been using google chrome (better than ie in security and faster start time than firefox as its without any add ons) however recently its not been loading some webpages, and the web servers are defiantly NOT down... which its a bit of a weird thing... anyone else having this problem or know of any way to fix it?

Everything fine for me.
What sites were they

All good here, loving the new chrome plugins also

[gorman20]

I've had a few problems too. Wanted to download a driver off a website for my PC and it wouldn't load the page (said it was down). Loaded it in Firefox and it was fine :/

guess its getting near its best before date... tbh I haven seen a patch released for it in some time which is some what worrying looking at the rate some other browsers (excluding ie as that needs regular updates seeing its the biggest target of exploits and hacks atm)

I am having no problems with Google Chrome at all - been using it pretty much from the day it was released.

There was a time when websites weren't loading correctly, but that was my DNS settings. And I suppose there are a few issues when loading HLStatsX CE (Rarely), but a quick refresh sorts that out.

@ Gorman2:
Chrome is regularly updated, it just doesn't make that clear. I mean, they're only minor patches, why pop up a window and interupt the user? That's not the Google Chrome way.

@ thebeautyisfake:
Yes, I've noticed that with auto-detection scripts for hardware too. Seems Chrome is simply being secure... or the website is still sticking to IE.

netscape are we going retro now? actually I think i have a software disk with netscape on, Im tempted to try and dig it out and install it to see the relic...

but piggy chrome ftw, firefox's inital start time is like twice as long as chromes because of its sheer addons. although chrome is pritty much a lightweight netbook version of firefox.... which I also heard the chrome os for laptops is going to be a light version of linux that will pritty much need very few if any installations as everything is ran by googles remote servers (its office editor ect) which is going to be intresting.... I really cant wait to get my hands on it and rip it to shreads. xD

as for the sites they are back up now, I thought it could be a dns problem but its not, as my other browser (ie7 did run these sites when chrome couldent) but whatever the issue is it has gone now...
