Google Chrome really slow

[Deleted member 219079]

This morning I opened up google chrome, it was very slow. It loaded some pages, but slowly. Some pages, like facebook, it loaded to weird non-styled mode without graphics, only text. But some pages, including hive, it didn't load.
I enabled IE from control panel and I've been somewhat happy with it. But, after I pressed Ctrl + Shift + N and retried it 2 times (incnoqito mode, the reason I use chrome) I realized I can't live without Chrome, I need someone's help D:
Steam works properly, IE works properly and Skype works properly. I tried to re-enable my connection, downdate the ethernet driver and re-update it, restart my pc, chrome with other computer (worked), chrome beta (didn't work), uninstalling chrome and reinstalling (didn't work).
Also checked the add-ons, only AdBlock and BitDefender wallet on. Tried disabling AdBlock, didn't work, also BitDefender wallet works just fine on IE.

I know I didn't give much info about my system, but I don't really know what info should I give. :/

try disabling bitdefender wallet anyway

Did you try clearing your cache? (Tools -> Clear Browsing Data, checkmark history, cache, cookies, download history)

Make sure you're also not running through a proxy by accident. (check Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Change Proxy Settings)

tried, still very slow

cleared those, did not make any difference. That window showed nothing checked and nothing in the list.

I don't even have any restore points because of my 64GB ssd :S

What does incognito mode actually do?

Try Firefox, Safari, Opera maybe?

It's a private browsing mode, it saves as few data as possible from your browsing.

Last time I tried those the bar at the top used way too much space. IE's bar is a bit bolder than Chrome's one, but not too much.

 

[Edhel-dur]

A friend of mine told me the same. I don't see how 5 pixels are a problem. If you fullscreen the bar at the top uses the same space as Chrome.

Firefox just has options you need to set for 'incognito'.

Internet Explorer has "InPrivate Browsing" which acts like what you described "incognito mode" as.

I think only newer versions of Internet Explorer have it so that is Vista and newer only.

I might've got that wrong but I need to set being fully anonymous from options? Sounds far too complicated from a simple shortcut Chrome and IE has.

I found it, and the shortcut is nearly the same, Ctrl + Shift + P.

I have IE 11 so the version shouldn't be old.

Oh god, I start liking IE Last version I used before was like horrible 7 or 8 at school. But now it only seems to lack the functionality of selecting text and dragging it to unused space in tabs' area to make search for it.

If that sounds too complicated, I am amazed you managed to register an account on THW, login on said account, realize your web browser has a problem, and be able to articulate it on a forum in search for an answer.

I have IE 11 so the version shouldn't be old.

Which seems... Strange seeing how the latest is IE10 released a few months ago. You using the beta?

I generally advise staying away from those unless you use it to test a website. The developers are still working at it so it may be open to some security vulnerabilities that they are busy working on fixing or yet to discover. This is a problem with adding anything new and partly why it is not released immediately.

Anyway the feature is in IE10 but if you plan to visit dubious sites (where malware is often found) I advise using the latest release (10) rather than a beta preview that could still have problems (11). Obviously as the preview gets older the problems will be fixed and eventually everyone will get it, but early previews are risky.

 

[Deleted member 219079]

Yes I have the preview release because I love beta versions, I usually use beta drivers for my GPU.
I'm willing to do that, but is there a way to save my login data to IE10?
I just thought antiviruses could block those off? I have BitDefender's total security, which blocks my access to infected links. Doesn't that take away the need of a secure browser?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Doesn't that take away the need of a secure browser?

Hackers will exploit everything and although your AV does block the links, it only blocks links known to be bad so new links that contain bad stuff (with new exploits) will not be blocked.

Lal how could we help you if it is a beta version it could be anything

 

[BlargHonk]

Have you tried turning it off then turning it on again?

If it continues getting worse, reformat and run a diagnostic on your HDD

Ah, you brought this thread back up.

The problem no longer exists, I did nothing, it just went away. Restarts didn't work, CCleaner didn't work and disabling extensions didn't work.

 

[chobibo]

You didn't even update? Some guy must have sabotaged your browsing experience! haha xD Hey don't look at me like that, it wasn't me Really!

 

[Deleted member 219079]

My browsing experience is ruined when I can't use Chrome.

 

[Dr Super Good]

I remember when a browser was for browsing, not doing funny stuff.
