I followed your steps and chrome seems to be faster, great tutorial

I thought it was just me with the problem , but after researching I notice I wasn't the only one experiencing issues with the slow loading time.

Thanks for the tip, worked great. But I noticed you had the "Proxy Server" box also unchecked...so I did that too. Thought others might want to note that.

Thanks again, much faster now.

Anytime :)

Just to let all know, I tried with and without the proxy "box" checked. Still slow with it checked. Any comments about needing a proxy server for mostly "home" use...??

And by the way, I had Windows security and Jave updates pending...so installed them. But then Chrome was again slow. I checked Chrome settings...and one of these updates must have changed the proxy "box"...as it was set again...and slow. So I unchecked it and Chrome is fast again.

Any comments would be appreciated...is a proxy server needed for basic laptop usage...??? I use ATT uVerse (secure WiFi) for my laptop.

Thanks.

That's odd because everyone who has recently tested it worked.
