Hi Guys,

Here is what I get frequently every time I try and browse with chrome. It happens randomly and chrome sometimes works and sometimes not.
Here's the error:

This webpage is not available.

The webpage at ... might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

More information on this error
Below is the original error message

Error 2 (net::ERR_FAILED): Unknown error.

It even happened to me using Google! It's Chrome 1.0.154.65 by the way.
It's also got 2 bug entries:

• http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6278
• http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=210

Is there anyway to fix this at all? It's extremely frustrating and I thought chrome would work fine :D
Thanks,
Googled

Judging by the fact that there are 2 bug entries and no solution on either one, i'd say no.¸

Do you have an antivirus ? Or a firewall ? Bad configuration of those can be the cause.

If you need more help, you should specify your OS.

Have you tried using version 2.0+ ?

Well judging by the fact that It sometimes works and sometimes not I thought It might eliminate the Firewall. I have a parental control program installed (to block from malware websies), could this be causing it?

I've got Windows XP Home SP3 with the CA security Suite. The sites work in Firefox.

Have you tried using version 2.0+ ?

Well I re-downloaded Chrome of the Google website 2 days ago so wouldn't it be the latest? Also I think they just realeased a new one, but it still comes up as up-to date

You need to be on the dev channel to have version 2.0+. They haven't been released as Stable releases yet.

I suspect that your parental control program is the cause. You should try to desactivate it / uninstall it to see if it helps.

Chrome already blocks most malware websites. I can see however why you would want such a program and i hope that you can find a solution that allows you to keep both Chrome and your parental control app.

Good luck!

seems like it was the Parental Control. I logged into Administrator and it seems to have fixed itself. I'll keep you posted though incase it happens again. By the way, how do you get the Developer Build and sign up to be a developer?

Google is your friend:

Thanks for that. Are the Developer releases stable? I don't want to use Extremely bad Beta software incase something goes wrong.

They are stable. More than the Dev releases.
But you can't expect it to be bug free all the time.

But i've been using it for more than a month and i am very pleased with the new features i get to play with.

ok, so you would suggest that I upgrade to v.2 and it's more stable?
Also what are the features?

It's not necessarily(sp?) more stable but it has some bug fixes.
