This is an easy one.
- Click on the tab in the upper right hand corner that lets you go to your Chrome settings.
- Click on “Settings”.
- Scroll down to the bottom and click on “Show advanced settings…”.
- Under “Privacy”, click on “Clear browsing data…”.
- The following four items should have checkmarks:
- Clear browsing history
- Clear downloaded history
- Delete cookies and other site and plug-in data
- Empty the cache
- Clear saved passwords
- Clear saved Autofill form data
- Clear data from hosted apps
- Deauthorize content licenses
- The default setting will be to delete the browsing data for the past hour, but if you have had this problem of not being able to use Google Search in Chrome for longer than an hour, you can change the setting of “Obliterate the following items from…” to a longer period. If you are not sure, leave this as “the past hour” for now. If this solution doesn’t work, try increasing this and doing it again.
- Click on “Clear browsing data”.
The following four items should not have a checkmark in them (unless you want to clear this information too):
This should fix it, especially if the problem has just started recently. If it doesn’t do the trick, please say so in the comments.
Thank you sooooo much!! I can not use google chrome for 5days already and I need to do a report… You are my life saver! Thank you!
Hi ,
My chrome is working for all other domains except Google. None of the Google products can load in Chrome. Can anyone help me please. I have tried resetting, uninstall and install a fresh version, cleared browsing history and other stuff but no use. Below is the error I am getting while trying to load google.com
This site can’t be reached
The webpage at https://www.google.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_QUIC_PROTOCOL_ERROR
its not working for me not able to get google serch ingine
serch ingine is not working
it shows only about: blank
I tried as written, but still getting error as follows:
“This site can’t be reached
http://www.google.co.in unexpectedly closed the connection.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED”
This did not work for me; sometimes when I go to a web page it will load but can’t click anything or it will not load anything and just stay white.
Google Search still not working
Changed it to 1 day and started to work immediately.
Thank you very much!
This has been an issue for about a month!
Nope. Did not fix. Switched to 1 day.
Worked once. Switched back to 1 hour.
Still not working…
removed chrome from windows firewall and then added it again . in my both computers simultaneously i had the issue as i was using broadband data card . it solved the problem .
if Chrome doesn’t wish to keep customers/users, then say so, don’t make our lives a living misery.
I think this actually worked for me! Thank you :D
This did not fix my google when I try to use it to search it will start then it will close the Google app how can I fix this
Feb 2017…nope! It didn’t work. Deleted all from the ‘beginning of time’ but still didn’t help. Grrr..but thanks for trying.
Excellent posting, short concise and very very helpful, Thank you soooo much!!! Kudos to you!!!
So confusing
Hi, Shaney Crawford,
Please help me_!!!
The suggestion you supplied does not work because google was accidentally deleted from the browser list, so even when I tried to click on the link underneath – where it gives you a link to restore google as your default browser
It just put me into Yahoo — and that is definitely not where I want to be —
I am so used to google search — that I am having difficulty getting rid of it — actually I don’t want to — it is google chrome I want to be rid of — but I still find myself having to use it — and I need google search restored_!!! PLEASE — HELP ME_!!!
I appreciate whatever help you can provide for me, sir_!!!
Thank You, so very much for your help in this matter_!!!

Thanks girl, it worked for me!!
This solution works perfectly for me every time this happens. Thank you! But why does this keep happening?
It would be great to know whether or not I can do anything to prevent this problem in the first place.
did not work for me.
This didn’t work for me, unfortunately — when I type something into the search bar or at google.com, it downloads a search file (that is the type of file — a “file”). Just started doing this suddenly.
I tried this but still not working. I still get a new blank page. Is this Google or has someone tapped in?
Someone in Google should address this issue. Hope they read all the comments and starting working in solution.
First scrabble stopped loading on Facebook then a few days later google chrome became not secure. I have tried all the listed fixes and still, it’s not loading in the secure mode. Can you help?
THERE IS NO ” tab in the upper right hand corner that lets you go to your Chrome settings.”
There is a 9-Dot symbol that opens up “My Account,” “Search” Maps”
There is a symbol with a bell for notifications
And my personal icon
No tab for Chrome settings anywhere.
Also your webpage says enter “Caphcha” but does not submit comment
It didn’t work for me despite following all the above steps..
Search didn’t work with any search engine selected &I couldn’t even open links in a new tab. The only fix that worked for me was settings/advanced, bottom of page “restore setting to original defaults”.
Unfortunately it did not work. Just a completely white page shows up. Thanks for the help though.
Google search not display results for all browsers of my system.
I am using windows 10 , I tested on Microsoft edge and chrome , on both browsers it show the auto suggestion but not display result , only shows the url with search the text
It worked woohoo
Youtube.com and Google.com have stopped working on all my devices. It says that “Your connection to this site is not secure” and I understand it has to do with SSL certificates?? But you need a SSL certificate only in case you own a website. I do not have a website other than my youtube account. I can use Google.com and Youtube.com from another internet connection but not from my internet connection which is pretty darn frustrating. It doesn’t work in Firefox and Microsoft Edge either. I think my internet provider is messing with my connection and filtered out these 2 websites. I have to call them ASAP! >_<
I have 5 bars of Wi-Fi but yet whenever I search anything up on Google it says:
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET
But whenever I search something up with Duckduckgo it works.
It also didn’t work when I went onto a Wiki website and used bing.com.
I’ve done a network reset, DNS flush, and cleared my cache but it still doesn’t work.
whenever I try to search something in the chrome even though i have my search engine as google it switches to yahoo!! on loading, i tried your trick it didn’t work so i changed the time to all time it still didn’t work…. any solution will be helpful thanks in advance
I tried everything and gave up and deleted google and now I am using a different browser and it works great everything. Delete google and that solves the problem.
