The only add on I have is the Hola add on. Google Chrome takes ~5-10 minutes to load. So to sum it up:Ĭomputer is very fast, boot up time is less than 20 seconds.įirefox works fine, every other application works fine. I don’t have a lot of stuff on my computer, it’s super clean, only a few months old, I use adaware and eraser to make sure everything is in top shape. Firefox loads fine every time, and the last few times I had hope I could use Chrome, I clicked it, and when it didn’t work I just get on firefox, well, about 5-10 minutes later, Chrome loads in the background, and I can use it like it’s normal. I clicked the icon to load it, it did the circle thing like it’s thinking (used to be the hourglass) and then it just stops. At first, Chrome worked great, I added HOLA which is awesome, and it still worked fine for the first 3 weeks, I am not sure what happened, but it just won’t load…. Open the Compatibility tab and enable Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 7 or 8 Now open the Chrome browser this helps. My router has IP 192.168.1.1 and this becomes the default setting for the DNS in windows 8.1 if DHCP is used.

Seems like my router (Thomson TG789) in combination with windows 8.1 cannot forward the DNS traffic.

I switched to Chrome because of the HOLA add on which allows me to watch Netflix here in Vietnam until I go home to Florida hopefully in April. Only solution working for me so far is to set the DNS servers manually for the network adapters. First off I have been a faithful firefox user since I found it about 6 years ago. Hello, I can tell you my symptoms and what’s going on in my case.
