Chrome's not ready for my prime time.
Google Chrome loads web pages very, very slow.
-I would estimate 20% of pages never load at all, before they time out, or I receive a Google page claiming "This webpage is not available" or that "It appears to be a broken link." Of course, they aren't broken links and a refresh normally loads them successfully.
-I would estimate that 60% of pages load very, very slowly, taking 5 to 10 times longer to load than Firefox or IE. Load speeds are typical of a 56k dial up modem. The page will be blank for 30+ seconds, then parts of it will pop up, and over the next 30 seconds, some images and text appear. Then the page either takes another 30 seconds to complete the loading (approaching 2 minutes load time) or it stops loading with only a partially loaded page.
-The remaining 20% of the time, web pages pop up almost instantly. Faster than any pages have ever loaded on Firefox or IE.
-Also noted, the spell check feature does not work properly. Often for mis-spelled words, there is not a correction suggested upon right click--even when words are one simple letter off.
Honestly, i don't know what's wrong with Chrome and I don't see any reason I should spend hours in over-my-head tech stuff, trying to fix what they did wrong to begin with. if my settings are off, it's because they didn't program Chrome to set them upon installation. But my settings have always worked great with Firefox, IE and Opera.
So I thin they messed something up, Chrome is very, very slow and not fast like you all claim.
I've noticed it being a memory hog, with each tab using 20-30 MB or more, it's easy to use up all available physical memory in a hurry. Hopefully future releases will do a better job with speed and memory management.
I've noticed the hang when it says resolving proxy. Google Chrome does something called DNS pre-fetching where it will actually translate the domain name of places it thinks you might go into IP addresses so it has those addresses ready should you decide to go there. It's supposed to save a quarter of a second each time you tell the browser to go to a different page, but I've wondered if this practice could have something to do with the hang-up when it says resolving proxy.
I tried your suggestion with the un-check the Enable phishing and malware protection and it did not make a difference. Do you have any other suggestion?
The pages load really slow, this is nothing close to IE. They often come up broken. I don't want to knock Google, but for beta version this is not good.
Unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions. I wonder if perhaps the lackluster performance and slowness of Google Chrome is causing its reported drop in market share. It's now behind Safari in the browser rankings. I'm finding it tough to use because you can't backup through forms and the spell check doesn't work very well.
You might be sure you've installed the latest Java 10 release candidate. It may fix Chrome on your banking site.
