Question

Why can't I open some websites in Chrome?

Community Answer

It depends on the websites, and what country you live in. If you live outside the U.S., there may be sites you are unable to access for a number of reasons. If you live in the U.S., then I would reinstall Chrome.

Question

Chrome does not display text properly from some websites or web Interfaces. What can I do?

Community Answer

Sometimes certain websites' CSS is just not a good fit with Chrome. Chrome also has some issues with JavaScript. Try an alternate browser like Firefox or Edge and see if that fixes the problem.

Question

Why will Google Chrome not open for me?

Community Answer

Check that your browser/computer is updated and consider re-installing. Check for viruses and make sure your anti-virus is fully operational. If you have talked to a specialist (computer store) and tried multiple websites, consider using a different browser or purchasing a different computer.

You can try re-installing the update, or going back the a previous installation. You can do this in the settings app in Windows 10, and the control panel in Windows 7. Or, you can uninstall and reinstall the Chrome browser.

Question

What can I do if Google Chrome uses large amounts of memory, stops responding, and crashes whe playing videos?

Community Answer

Try uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome. When you reinstall, make sure you limit the number of extensions you have installed. Also, limit the number of tabs you have open at one time -- more tabs means more memory. Finally, clear your stored browsing data every once in a while.
