Why does GH no longer work with chrome...
-
on chrome.
and it's working.
-
I use Chrome pretty much exclusively. What issue are you having? If the site in not accessible at all, then it might just be DNS caching. Try completely restarting it if that is the case.

This webpage is not available
Google Chrome's connection attempt to geekhack.org was rejected. The website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
Check your Internet connection. Restart any router, modem, or other network devices you may be using.
Add Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall's or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server, adjust your proxy settings: Go to the Chrome menu > Settings > Show advanced settings... > Change proxy settings... > LAN Settings and deselect the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" checkbox.
Error 102 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED): The server refused the connection.

That doesn't sound like a browser issue. GH has been going in and out of connectivity for me recently and it has not been browser related at all; rather the site has been going up and down.
-
Just GH, it has been out for over a day, it is the only nonworking site.
-
It wasn't working for me yesterday but its up today apparently. I'm on Chrome.
-
Hasn't worked for me yet. I hate to have to use firefox... its so slow..
-
Hmm.. that's weird. Working fine for me right now and I'm on Chrome.
-
GH had a major upgrade yesterday (Thursday 27-Dec) which included an IP address change. Some ISPs and browsers apparently took longer than others to catch up. Chrome was one of the slower for some reason. Firefox wouldn't work for me for a while, then suddenly started to work.
Also, if you have the old address in your /etc/hosts file (or Windows equivalent), you will continue to have problems until you remove that entry.
Hopefully the above helps the OP and anyone else who may still have connectivity issues.
GH is up and has been fully up for 28 hours +/-. I can get to it with Chromium, the open source version of Chrome.

ipconfig /flushdns
nothing to do with your browser

ipconfig /flushdns

I searched that, clicked on it, is that what I am supposed to do?
-
Does the site work at all with other browsers? If it does, then flushdns would do pretty much nothing. It just clears the DNS cache, forcing the computer to do a DNS lookup on the site again. If you want to try it, type it in commandline.
Edit: Your router may have cached the DNS lookup as well. You can try rebooting it.

Ah, Thanks. It is just Google Chrome. I will reset my router in the morning and update on the situation. That seems like a good idea.

I have the same issue, now I'm posting it on Internet Explorer. But otherwise Chrome will not load this page at all :(
-
For some reason mine started to work W/o me doing anything...
-
Nope just tried, still doesn't work for me. Though I haven't use internet explorer in ages. Is it me or it actually feel faster than chrome now? I'm testing it on the 64 bit explorer.

Sounds like DNS refreshed itself after a timeout or something.
-
Chrome is always fast :D
-
Ohhhh so I cleared my browser data / cache from chrome, then this finally works now :D
