Computers!

Has anyone else found that Chrome takes ages to load since the recent google update?


Since and prior to that update - I've been getting this message:

Can someone who understands techtalk please translate?

Re: Computers!

Avoid Chrome personally, Google knows enough about me without encouraging them. I use DuckDuckGo as my search engine on my computers. On my phone Chrome is disabled but I do use Google as my search engine there.
