Is the above image quiet familiar for you? Are you amongst those users who regularly use Google Chrome due to the multiple features that it carries yet are frustrated due to its irresponsible behavior with some websites? And, does the below line seems familiar?

Oops! This link appears to be broken in Google Chrome

One way out is referring to the Support Page created by Google. It will ask you to refresh your cache, scan your system for silly malwares, and delete unwanted cookies. But, I am pretty sure that all this just won’t solve your problem. Once you are done experimenting with different Google suggested methods then I will request you to try playing with the internal Google Chrome settings.

See the checkbox inside the bright red oval in the image above? Well, that is the key to unlock your lock. Go to (see image below) Tools > Options (which is Preferences on Mac) > Under The Hood Tab and uncheck the checkbox next to “Use DNS pre-fetching to improve page load performance.” This will help Google Chrome load some of the websites that usually aren’t loaded and will also increase the website load time by very few microseconds (which you won’t notice).

Happy Chroming!!

Well, this looks to be unusual but true. My licenced Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 (updated database) displays a securiy warning whenever I open Alexa to check rank of any website. Just check the screenshot below.

The object which seems to contain the trojan is heroestelevision.com/favicon.ico. Name of the trojan was “Trojan-Downloader.JS.Iframe.bag”. Kaspersky was quick to deny the loading of this object but everybody might now have Kaspersky with them. Watch out guys!

Three days after the release of FireFox 3.0.2 a new update has been launched. FireFox 3.0.3 is all set to be used. Somehow, in previous release users couldn’t retrieve saved passwords or save new passwords. Although I was also using the same release but I didn’t face any problems.

I am sure some out there might have faced this problem of not able to recover saved passwords and hence for them FireFox 3.0.3 becomes a must download. Mostly, your FireFox will update itself on its own but if it dosen’t then I guess you should do it manually so that your passwords are remembered.

Features of 3.0.3 which are common with 3.0.2 are:

• Fixed several theme issues that affected right-to-left locales.
• Fixed several stability issues.
• Fixed a number of minor issues with the layout of certain web pages.
• Official releases for Sinhala and Slovene are now available.
• Beta releases for Bengali, Galician, Hindi, Icelandic, Kannada, Marathi, Telugu, and Thai are available for testing.
• Add new Extended Validation (EV) roots to Firefox 3.0.2.
• Fixed several hangs and crashes that occurred when using screen readers.

This has happened before (here and here) since Google took over Feedburner and still Google didn’t learn anything of this? Just check the images below.

Lets see if this comes back up tomorrow.

This isn’t the first time when  Feedburner has  provided wrong stats for my feeds. Last time many big bloggers were hit when Google acquired feedburner and the RSS feed stats for most of them changed to zero!

Later on again the problem came up when many bloggers complained that their Google Reader stats were not being counted and this resulted in their feed stats falling down but luckily I was on the safer side in that second glitch.

Now it looks like Google had remembered that they had spared me the last time and so this time my feed burner stats have gone down by over a 100 just because my email subscribers aren’t being counted. Irritating and true!

Any of you face the same problem or is it just me?
