Many of us, including me, would like to use Google Chrome to visit favorite websites. There are not much to complain about Chrome browser because it’s a lightweight and extremely fast internet browser, except a few annoying errors you might have faced while using it.

I have been using Google Chrome for years, and the first error I encountered is a DNS related error. At the moment when DNS error occurred on my browser, I don’t know what to do to get my Chrome browser back to work. You might have felt hopeless when can’t do anything.

In today guide, I would like to show you top five methods to help you know more about common problems on your Google Chrome and ways to troubleshoot them.

#1. Change DNS Server Addresses

In most cases, changing your DNS servers from the default to third-party will help to solve many issues, including connection and DNS errors.

There are many third-party DNS services you choose from to replace your default DNS servers. But I would suggest you two best DNS services – it’s OpenDNS and Google’s DNS – give them a try.

In order to change your DNS servers, go to Network settings and find IPv4 section, and then enter new DNS server IP addresses to the form. This structure might have a bit different, depend on which platform you are using. This method is also helped to fix “You connection is not private” error on your Google Chrome. So if you are getting this error in your browser, give it a try.

#2. Turn Off Antivirus Software Or Firewall

If you are facing some annoying errors on your Chrome browser that related to internet connections, you might want to disable or turn off your antivirus program or the built-in firewall to diagnose.

If causes of the errors you are getting are from these programs, you should change settings of them and add your connections to the whitelist.

#3. Remove All Cookies And Cached Files

Removing all cached files, history, and cookies on your Google Chrome browser also help to fix many errors, including DNS errors and some other errors related to internet connections.

On your Chrome browser, copy “chrome://settings/clearBrowserData” and paste into the address bar and push “Enter” key. In the next step, select what you want to clear and then remove them.

#4. Flush All DNS Cache On Your Computer

If you are using a computer: Windows, Mac or Linux, and there was an error with your Google Chrome as well as other browsers. You can try to clear all DNS cache on your computer.

To do that, open Command Prompt or Terminal, depend on your platform and then type: “ipconfig /flushdns”, without quotes to remove all cached files.

#5. Check And Verify Your Device’s Date And Time

Sometimes, a wrong date and time can lead to many errors on your Chrome browser, one of them is the SSL connection error. I would suggest you to check and verify current date and time on your device to make sure it’s valid.
