Ah, I just realized since it is failing on you, it probably is not getting far with that kind of more personal information so go ahead.
 
I see the issue but can't yet figure out the cause. Can you post what you see for this? chrome://net-internals/#proxy
 
And this. Click on Start menu, and cut and past this exactly as I type here:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -no-proxy-server

That should open a new copy of Chrome. See if you can browse to any page.
 
Very interesting. I have no problem with Chrome, but I upgraded Firefox from Version 5.x to Version 6.x and when I try to access our site I get this:

501 Not Implemented
The requested method is not implemented by the server. Powered By LiteSpeed Web Server
LiteSpeed Technologies is not responsible for administration and contents of this web site!
 
And this. Click on Start menu, and cut and past this exactly as I type here:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -no-proxy-server

That should open a new copy of Chrome. See if you can browse to any page.


I can browse to any page
 
That's really good news. It means your proxy settings are screwed up somehow. Didn't realize you installed IE9 which caused it.

Click on Windows button and type "Internet Options" in the box and hit the return key. A dialog should come up. Click Connections. Click LAN Settings. What boxes are checked in? Report that but in any case, uncheck any box you see. Click OK and test again.

Amir

you are a friggin genius because that is exactly what the problem was. One click to uncheck, one more click to apply settings and then the problem is gone.

I can't tell you how this was driving me nuts when I knew I was on the internet using Safari or IE9. How come if the proxy setting is checked and it only affected chrome and not the other browsers

At any rate thanks again Amir.

This only happened when I upgraded to IE9.
 
HI All,
I use Firefox both at home and at work. Prior to about a year ago I used IE. At work IE was disabled due to security problems. I work at a National Laboratory so security issues are very important. We were asked to use Firefox. That's when I became familiar with Firefox. I grew to like it and when my home IE (Vista) developed a strange problem that I couldn't track down or correct, I switched to Firefox. So, now all my machines (three at home; two XP Pro laptops and one Vista desktop and one XP Pro at work) use Firefox and I'm happy.

Now for my question. When you all talk about speed, what exactly are you referring to? Since I mostly use my browser for doing Google searches and then linking to found web sites, or using Favorites, I sense that Firefox speed is great. I see no problems at all. So, are you talking about something else? Or, are we back to counting the number of angels on a pinhead?

Seriously, I'd like to know what you are talking about.

BTW, I still don't like the way Firefox handles and organizes Favorites as well as IE. Firefox seems awkward. But it does work.

Thanks, Sparky
 
No, the performance difference is not a subtle thing. Until IE 9 came out, even on the fastest machine clicking to get a new tab to open a separate page would take 1 to 2 seconds whereas it was instantaneous on Chrome. The other difference is how fast they interpret complex pages with scripting (which includes vast majority of popular sites). If you have a fast Internet connection, the difference is quite visible with how fast the page is drawn. Psychologically, users are impatient in that situation waiting for the data to appear, counting even milliseconds in their head.

I have 10 year old PC I have dedicated to my audio measurement station running Windows XP. It was such a huge struggle to use it until I put Chrome on it. Now I can browse on it as if it is like a modern PC. With IE it would sometimes take 10 to 20 seconds to do browsing. I would make a measurement and wanting to post it and it would just be so frustrating.

The gap has closed substantially though now so I am not sure the case can be made as strongly. Instead, I like things such as built-in PDF reader and flash in Chrome with nothing to install.

HI amirm,
My desktop machine is reasonably fast but certainly not SOTA. It's a 32 bit 2.4 gHz dual core processor with 4 gigs of RAM about four years old. Nothing special. Of course, I think it's a little special since I built it myself!! I run on a high speed internet connection.

Not sure which sites you are talking about. I ran down my extensive list of Favorites and did not find a site that took as long as a second to load. Instant? No, not quite but satisfying.

Not wishing to argue about the qualities of Chrome vs. Firefox, I won't make wild claims. I do think that computer types can get totally hung up on speed even when the speed differences are minor. I see it all the time. For me, fast enough is fast enough. I guess I'm not as demanding as you.

Certainly, there are some computer applications where every nano second is important. But these are technical applications which are far different than home use. Also, game applications can be very demanding. But internet browsing?

I think you are overstating your case.

Perhaps you could provide a link to a site that you think could separate the men from the boys. So far, I don't see your point but I am curious.

I am not a firefox users. Everything I mentioned was relative to IE. I thought your question was a general one as to whether browser speeds matter. I can tell you with 100% confidence in that comparison they do matter and matter hugely. Firefox from benchmarks I have seen is a fast browser. It loses to Chrome sometimes and vice versa. So it wouldn't be surprising to hear that you are fine with its performance.

Here is a very comprehensive benchmark of browsers with this conclusion: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/firefox-chrome-opera,2558-10.html

"Any way you want to analyze the data, Google's Chrome comes out on top. That's why we're not only calling Chrome the winner of our Web Browser Grand Prix, but we're also awarding it the Best of Tom's Hardware Award--the first time we've given such an honor to a software product. If you haven't yet downloaded Google Chrome, you just don't know what you're missing."
 
HI amirn,
I'm not sure why you thought I was speaking generally about browsers. In my first post in this thread I said I had converted to Firefox. That was the context for my comments.

I read the Tom's link you provided along with the numerous comments. Interesting. But, in truth, benchmarks do me little good taken alone. And speed is not the only factor by which I would choose a program. For example, at work we have a large group of experts that evaluate software constantly. They too have a specific goal for their evaluations. And it's not speed. It's security. By their evaluations, Firefox is the most secure browser out there. So, combining speed and security, Firefox seems the best answer.

The benchmarks you linked me to did not address the security issue at all, which I find amazing. For me, security might be the the most important quality a browser could have. Clearly, we are not discussing a single aspect of performance but, rather, performance priorities. For you, speed is primary. For me, security is first. So, is there a best answer? Yes, mine!! Speed becomes a moot issue if one is sitting there with a contaminated computer.

Now, I have to figure out why the latest download of iTunes is a piece of sh*t. Grrrr!!!!
