Google Chrome messes with my DNS on Yosemite

So I've spent ages today trying to figure this out. I have a nicely upgraded version of Yosemite. All was working well but I couldn't figure out how to make safari full screen without the toolbar (like a kiosk/presentation mode). It was suggested I use Chrome which does have presentation mode. On installing Chrome, it immediately began to not be able to access any website. Safari was then unable to as well. Using network utility to see what the problem was still resulted in ability to ping IP address but not to DNS. Turns out DNS was no longer resolving. Trying an alternate DNS such as Open DNS servers, flushing the cache using a variety of methods suggested on the internet did not resolve it.
However, deleting Google Chrome and setting IP6 to Link-Local mode only did seem to reset it and allow safari and DNS ping/lookup to work again.
Re-installing Chrome stopped it again. Uninstalling Chrome and rebooting allowed it all to work again.
So for those of you who are having this headache, I can definitely confirm that Google Chrome does something unusual in relation to DNS. I don't know what, but perhaps some boffins here can figure it out.
The problem above is re produceable for me.
Good luck solving it internets.

Patrick,
You will be using the DNS server configured in the VPN profile. The DNS server could be removed from the profile, but it also depends if you are allowed to route locally while connected to the VPN?

I have firefox 4. I have xm radio on my computer. It is not staying on long enough. xm says I have to have google chrome 10.1 or higher. Which version of google chrome comes with firefox 4?

I installed firefox 4. Does it come with google chrome 10.1 or higher? I have xm radio on my desktop computer. The audio does not stay on long enough. If I have 10.1 or higher I thought that would help the audio as xm says that is what it requires and I don't know where to look to see if firefox 4 with google chrome comes with 10.1 or higher.

Google Chrome isn't part of Firefox, it is a completely different program.

Google Chrome messed up UI text

So, after installing Google Chrome from the AUR, I noticed first thing that the UI text was obfuscated. this includes both the text in tab labels, the location bar, and other UI elements, but not the text of web pages.
Here's a scrot: http://i.imgur.com/05eMBXA.png
I don't really have any starting points on this, so I appreciate any help I could get.

Don't need to create test case, someone else has already reported it on Chrome bug list.
If this is a problem to you (and I think it will be if you have an applet with menus that is used on Chrome) perhaps you could follow this link,
and star the item. (I note that this also stops drop lists from working.)
To star the item, from the page, click 'back to list', find item 937, and click on the favourite star.

With the exception of some Active-X apsects, Chrome should work just fine.
Can you advise what changes you're making to the library?

Google Chrome freezes after being launched (w/ Yosemite software)?

After installing OS Yosemite on my iMac, I've learned that my Google Chrome (which is my main internet browser of choice) has been freezing periodically. This hasn't happened prior to the Yosemite download. The freeze only happens upon launching chrome, and only lasts about 5 seconds, to which it will then unfreeze and proceed to function as normal. All other programs work fine and the mac runs fine (the iMac is slightly a year old, bought in September of 2014). I just tried uninstalling Chrome and then downloading it again, however the same issue remains.

Only extension I have is Google Docs, and I've had that there forever. I've been using Chrome for a very very long time and this freezing started happening just recently (after installing Yosemite). Doesn't happen every time I launch chrome, maybe every 2 out of 5 times. It will freeze for maybe 5 seconds then unfreeze on its own and continue to work just fine. Still, not a big issue but becoming rather annoying.

Google Chrome freezes with the pinwheel until I move my mouse to the Hot Corner. Why?

Help me! I am using Google Chrome (Version 28.0.1500.95) on a Macbook Pro (Mac OS X 1.7.5) and it keeps freezing with the rainbow pinwheel of death until I move my mouse into the Hot Corner. Once it's gone to the pinwheel I can't use any other application until I move to the Hot Corner. It goes back straight away but it's getting to the stage now that it's freezing every 20 seconds.
Is it a virus or a problem with Chrome? What can I do to fix it?
Thanks,
Alex

A number of users have reported problems using Google Chrome. There seems to be an incompatibility with it and Mac OSX. I suggest that the simple solution is to uninstall Google Chrome and use Firefox, Safari or Opera instead.
Ciao.

Does google chrome work with firefox

Does google chrome work on the firefox & can it be added to the search options on the toolbar on screen

Google Chrome is a web browser like Firefox. It's not a search engine.

Google Chrome Issues with X230T and X220T

This is the second time I've posted about this issue because nothing was resolved in the first thread I made a while back.
I own an X230T running Windows 7 Proffesional, and I have a friend with an X220T also running Windows 7 Professional.
We have installed all updates in Java, Adobe, and Windows.
The problem that we are running into is when we go to certian websites (chegg.com, nike.com, toyota.com), some elements on the page will not work no matter what pluggins or extensions we disable, install, etc.
For example on the toyota site, when you go to the main page and click the "select vhicles" tab, nothing happens and a "toyota.com/#" appears at the bottom of the webpage.
We have tried running the program in compatibility mode with no success.
I have tried previous versions of Chrome to no avail.
If anyone is having the same issues or knows of a solution, I would appreciate some feedback.
Right now I am just using the IE tab extension for Chrome, but I would like to get this problem resolved.

Hi All,
On a T430u running Win 7 Pro and an x61 running Win 8 Pro, I can navigate all your listed sites in Chrome with no problems.
In Chrome settings, under advanced settings, privacy, make sure that the first 4 tabs are checked.
Latest version of Chrome with new updates of Adobe Flash and Air.
Regards,
Dave

Download help with Google Chrome?

Hi! I'm new here. I've downloaded Adobe products before and I have Google Chrome. My
problem is that when I downloaded and installed Shockwave and Flash, not long after Shockwave crashed. I removed the program
from my computer(both Shockwave and Flash) because I got scared. I would like to try them again, but I'm afraid they'll crash again.
My adobe Air and Reader X work just fine. Any ideas?

Google Chrome comes with Flash Player preinstalled; you cannot install or uninstall it.
If you need help with Shockwave Player, please post in the Shockwave Player forum.

Firefox keeps asking to install Flash. When I attempt this, I get an error message stating it failed. Flash works in Google Chrome, but not FF.

I don't know what happened but Firefox keeps asking me to install Flash. When I attempt to install the program, I get an error message that it has failed. There is no other information given and I'm just left hanging. I've tried this over twenty times with the same results. I've even uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, but this continues. I'm unable to watch any YouTube videos. I then installed Google Chrome and all is working fine. I can't stand the Google company though and really with I could continue using Firefox. Why is GC working for me any FF not? How can I fix this?

Google Chrome comes with its own Flash plugin, so doesn't require to install Flash separately.
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.

You may have to run the Flash installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator) and make sure that Firefox and possibly other browsers are closed.

Windows XP; Adobe Reader XI; Google Chrome

I have an old PC running on Windows XP with Adobe Reader XI installed and my browser is Google Chrome. No problems up until recently when (I don't know how) my PC was 'invaded' by a 'browser hijacker' called VOSTERAN which, according to all the websites I visited, is a VERY bad thing. After a lot of trouble, I eventually got rid of Vosteran but this involved uninstalling and then re-installing Chrome. So I got Chrome back but then found I had a problem with PDF documents (which I hadn't had before).
I was trying to print off a page from a particular website (which I'd successfully done previously) but found that, when I clicked on the Print icon, it was immediately replaced by a Save icon - in the form of a PDF document. So I saved the page (because I could no longer just print it) to my PC but then found that I could neither open nor print it. I just got an error message from 'Adobe Reader' which said "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience".
I tried all sorts of other options such as "Open With" etc. but still nothing.
Then I found that I could no longer open (or print) any PDF document which I'd previously saved on my PC! So I uninstalled and then re-installed Adobe Reader (several times) but still without success. I also searched online for possible answers (for a long time) but nothing I've tried has worked.
So .... is this a problem with my PC? Or with Adobe Reader? Or is there something in Google Chrome 'interfering' with my being able to open and print PDF documents - which it didn't do before (I've tried all the troubleshooting tips on Chrome).
Please help as this is driving me nuts!

Try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
P.S. note that Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.

Google Chrome (v.40.0.2214.93) and Captivate 8.0.1.242 not previewing

Hi... anyone having problems previewing a responsive file using the Preview > In Adobe Edge Inspect. Google Chrome opens with Error 404: Not Found File not found. My Google Chrome is v.40.0.2214.93 and Captivate 8.0.1.242.

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Did you get any prompt while previewing the responsive file in Google chrome?
Please check if your Windows User name contain space in between like "John smith". If there would be a space between your username you might have to create a new user profile with new name without space in it.

Google chrome access the microphone

Google has a funny feature that we can access from Google chrome (work with the chromium build too). We pronounce a search query and Google make the search. But my question is how Chrome can access the microphone? (there is no flash here). If Google can listen what I said, what is done to prevent a malicious website to listen what is saif in the room?

That is a good question. I believe it uses HTML5 / javascript on top of Native Client. Native Client is designed to a alllow native code to to be safely run within the client or in this case web browser. Of course, people can create hacks of the ap which allows said hackers to listen to you from your microphone without your permission. Native Client of course makes this harder. I hope I explained it correctly.

E4200 Web-based User Interface having problems in Google Chrome 8 web browser

Setting up a new E4200. My main web browser is Google Chrome (and Chrome has worked well with all of my other Linksys products, and that's a lot of products .
The problems:
1) The warning message that pops up (when using IE8) about changes in the Web UI breaking Cisco Connect's ability to manage the router does not appear.
2) The "DHCP Reservation" button on 'Setup / Basic Settings' does not pop-up, making it impossible to make changes to the DHCP table in Chrome. Works fine in IE8.
NOTE: The "DCHP Client" button on 'Status / Local Area Network' does work, so it appears that some pop-ups are working but not all.
NOTE: I don't customize my Google Chrome settings with regards to pop-ups and haven't seen this problem with any other site (well, except for some Oracle web applications that are years old, but those don't work in FireFox either and appear to have IE6-specific code).
Platform: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Google Chrome 8, E4200 firmware 1.0.0
(Mod note: Edited for guideline compliance.)

i use chrome and firefox but 99.8% is used on chrome. i have no issues. i do not use the cisco connect CD. it causes more harm than good. the warning is correct. you can break some things on the web based UI if you use the CD...

Hi doctor.saddam,
If your MacBook Pro is shutting down unexpectedly, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
