I am running Windows XP SP3, Google Chrome 11.0.696.57.<br />
<br />
Problem: Google is slow when launching and opening new tabs.<br />
<br />
Details: &nbsp;When I launch Chrome, it takes 15 seconds for the home page to load. &nbsp;The same thing happens when I go to the &quot;wrench&quot; and then click &quot;Options&quot;. &nbsp;I see chrome://settings in the address bar but it still takes 15 seconds for the options screen to appear. &nbsp;I also see this happen when opening a New Tab.<br />
<br />
Other browsers on the same machine surf fine with no response problems.<br />
<br />
I have un-installed &amp;&nbsp;re-installed Chrome in the past and it fixes the problem for a day or two but the problem keeps coming back.<br />
<br />
Can someone please advise.

Google Chrome takes 15 seconds to load home page on launch

Chrome OS is an operating system based on the Linux kernel and designed to work with web applications and installed applications. Initially, Chrome OS was almost a pure web thin client operating system, with only a handful of "native" applications, but Google gradually began encouraging developers to create "packaged applications", some of which can work offline. App Runtime for Chrome (beta) enables Android applications to run on Chrome OS. Chrome OS is built upon the open source project called Chromium OS which, unlike Chrome OS, can be compiled from the downloaded source code; Chrome OS is the commercial version installed on specific hardware.

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
