\"win7\"[German Edition<\/a>]I'm facing an annoying problem using Google Chrome browser under Windows 7. The browser freezes for a few seconds, when I open a new web page. During this short period I can't do anything within the browser window. After a\u00a0 beep, I'm able to continue surfing with Google Chrome.
\n<\/p>\n

\"\"I've also noticed, that playing music in background was interrupted and also open taskbar's context menu wasn't possible. Because I've just setup Windows 7 from a fresh image backup, a bad system could not be the case. Searching German Google pages didn't gave me a clue about the root cause. All hits addressed cases, where Chrome blocks the system completely and only a hard reset solved the issue.<\/p>\n

Afterward I extended my search to english language web pages \u2013 and I found some hints. The problem was reported on Mac OS X (and here<\/a>) on Linux and under Windows. Some user identified a downloads or the integrated flash player als the root cause. A Workaround ist proposed here<\/a>. But my impression was, that this isn't my issue, because I have had the issue also on flash less web pages. Also this discussion<\/a> was not helpful for my case \u2013 same here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then I found this Reddit article<\/a>, but there was no solution till yet. But afterward, I notices, I'm not alone, and I found this Google forum thread<\/a>. User AnubArack mentioned in a posting, that Google Chrome browser runs into trouble with Windows 7 auto detect proxy function. The website linked within the post doesn't exists anymore. But I managed it to fix my problem.<\/p>\n

Adjust proxy settings in Google Chrome<\/h3>\n

Here are a step-by-step explanation, how to adjust proxy settings for Google Chrome browser. Note: I'm using here a shorter approach (compared to my original German article) \u2013 also the screenshots are still in German \u2013 because I'm to lazy to set up a system with englisch language interface.<\/p>\n

1. Show the charms bar, select search<\/em> and enter interneto<\/em> into the search box.<\/p>\n

2. In Internet Property<\/em> dialog box go to the Connection <\/em>tab an click the button LAN settings<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. Uncheck \"Automatic detect settings\" and close all dialog boxes using OK button.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then Google Chrome uses the default proxy settings \u2013 and in my case, the feeze problem was gone. Update:<\/strong> As far as I have seen, a similiar description<\/a> from Martin Brinkmann with a reference to my German original article is suitable from ghacks.net.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
