Undo,

Same here, I thought it was just my new hard drive....and my snail
speed dsl. I have noticed this, experienced it for the last several days.

[undo11]

my internet has went down three times in the last hour, plus google went down and youtube . weird.

One other time I noticed that this coincided with the
Anon hacking episodes, I dont know if that
could have anyting to do with this intermittent problem,
maybe they are going for it. ? Idk...
seems mostly related to Google.

[burntheships]

Looks like Google has invited the challenge,
so to speak. Chrome related, altough once invited
can they really blame someone for trying?

laughed at this....

That's real money. I don't know about you, but if I were a serious security and operating system hacker, I'd be working on my hacks now and packing my bags for Vancouver.

We know g**gle owns Utube, which crashed several times yesterday while i was searching for music video's. Coincidence?
If they offer a challenge like that, they must be pretty confident.
Or just stupid
I won't allow Chrome anywhere near my computers, it's full of tracking bots....

If that's the case, what browser do you use?

[PLAYSWITHMACHINES]

Explorer 10, without the Java update.
But it's been crashing lately, especially with UToob

I do wonder if its a US ip thingy? as i have not had problems with either service here in Oz over the last 24 hours using either Chrome or Palemoon as my main two web browsers.

Just shouting out if that helps!

[Sgt.Rocknroll]

I use chrome mostly cause of the GUI interface and how I can sync my desktop with my iPhone, which I use a lot. I have notice shockwave crashing a lot lately though. I like IE but after an episode of malware and my live email getting hacked, I switched to chrome on recommendation from my son. Any comments?

[PLAYSWITHMACHINES]

I can't comment much on Chrome, never used it. I can see what it can do, it's versatile & user-freindly i guess. That makes it ideal for us old folks born with only 2 thumbs
ATS ran some threads on the g**gle toolbar containing suspicious software, i found it & removed it, but Chrome is a whole new ball game.

I personally don't want their software running things here, i certainly don't want their 'skynet' A.I. program learning from me, or looking where i look.
It's kind of creepy, i daresay they know all that stuff anyway without having G@@rgoyle on your PC.....
Just my opinion, mind
