Google Chrome won’t load webpages, but Safari will

Issue

Google Chrome breaks on your Macbook. Regardless of having a working internet connection and Safari loads pages fine, Chrome will not load a webpage, but just spins on everything. Restarting your computer, etc does not fix it.

Solution

The routing is corrupt. Keep in mind, some people have a modem / router combo and some a separate router and separate modem, so the below steps may vary based on your setup. I’ve taken several users through these steps and it has resolved the issue every time.

• Power down your Macbook
• Unplug wireless router
• Unplug internet modem
• Wait 10 seconds, plug modem back in
• Then plug router back in
• Power up your Macbook
• Chrome should now work again
