Using Chrome... some sites not loading (solved)

DU is loading. Thankfully.

Facebook loads, but the game I play on it won't.
Twitter won't load.
Nextdoor won't load.

Clearing cache and cookies didn't work.

Any tips?

1. Use something else. Firefox, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi...

I use all of these, and most work just fine anywhere. The sites not loading may not like something in the way you have Chrome set up.

5. Yeah... I can't get to any of those sites to download.

So odd that I can just get to a few sites.

I didn't change any Chrome settings... tried adding sites to the "trusted sites" spot or whatever they call it.

2. Reboot.

It never hurts and it might solve your problems.

Also try using a different browser to see if the problem is limited to Chrome.

6. I have. Multiple times.

And can't get to another browser site to download...

3. Whenever Chrome doesn't work-- I switch to Firefox.

There are some streaming shows that never play for me on Chrome, but it works on Firefox.

7. Can't get there to download it. nt

14. Have you ever tried FTP?

That's how we got things off the internet before the web and browsers.

Here's a site that explains how to use FTP to get a file off the web.

Here's the Firefox site where you can get the Firefox app through FTP.

9. Restart your router/gateway if you haven't already

10. That did it.

I swear I tried it before... but it worked this time.

Thanks so much relayerbob!!!

11. You're welcome

They really need to be rebooted every once in awhile. They lose track of their teeny llittle minds sometimes, lol.

12. I'm glad that someone found the solution to your problem.

I bought a new computer about 10 days ago and I'm still reconfiguring the system to meet my preferences.

However, now that you are back online I suggest downloading another browser as an alternative.

13. Excellent suggestion!!
