Chrome doesn't ask for proxy authentication but Firefox does - google-chrome

I am trying to connect to my college wifi using LAN Cable. When i connect my laptop to cable and change the proxy settings, two things happen:-
Firefox asks for Username and password. After providing username and password, I am able to surf the internet on firefox.
But Chrome, neither asks for authentication, nor am I able to surf the internet using chrome.
What can be possible reasons for this and how to fix this ? I have tried reading articles related to proxy settings,LAN etc, but I am not able to solve this issue.

Google Chrome: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 407 (Proxy Authentication Required)

I'm connecting to the internet using a Proxy server. I already set the manual proxy setup with my IP address and the port. Now the issue is when I'm browsing on the internet chrome requires proxy username and password. I remember my proxy username and password but to enter those the popup window is not popping up. In Console I have this error and browser window is keep refreshing continuously with blank window.
Is there any way I can give proxy server username and password from Chrome settings? This happens only in chrome non incognito mode. I tried with Incognito mode, it asks the proxy username and password and thereafter everything working perfectly,
Note: This was listed in 2009 as a bug but I didn't found any solution to this https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6666
Since there is no answer over the internet, I will post the way I solved the issue. Actually this is not the proper way to solve the issue but at least you can connect to the internet using this method.
Proxy authentication details are stored some ware in your chrome account which associated with your email. After struggling few hours, what I did was, login to the chrome with another email so here it wont affect the settings on the previous Gmail account. Thereafter it asks the proxy username and password.
Note: Don't click the Never button if dialogue box pops up and ask to store the username and password.
I hope this will help for someone in future.

Cannot Connect to Any Websites While On Work VPN

My work uses FortiClient for our VPN service. I can connect to our VPN just fine, and I can access my shared drive on one of our servers. However, when I try to launch Chrome and connect to any website I get this error.
The second I disconnect from the VPN, my Chrome pages will load again.
I have tried using my phone's hotspot as the Internet connection, and the VPN works fine while on the hotspot, including the Chrome pages loading. So I think it is something wrong with my router.
I have Spectrum/Time Warner Cable as my ISP, and when I called them, they said there's nothing they can do because my Internet connection technically is working.
Is there any kind of setting I can check in my router to see if it is blocking my work VPN? I have the Ubee router that was provided to me by TWC.
I spoke with the people at FortiClient and they had me manually change the DNS that the VPN was using to be Google's 8.8.8.8 address. Everything worked once I did that.

SSL site error ERR_BAD_SSL_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT - MAC OSX - Chrome Only

I am trying to access a site that requires an SSL key. I am using Chrome (latest) on Mac OSX 10.14.4.
Browsing the site I get the following error:
This site can’t provide a secure connection site.com didn’t accept
your login certificate, or one may not have been provided. Try
contacting the system admin.
ERR_BAD_SSL_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT
I can access the site on Safari, Firefox, and Chrome for Windows (using a VM). It is only Chrome for Mac that gives me an error.
When I access the SSL keys in the Chrome Preferences, I am taken to the OSX Keychain app.
The key exists in the keychain, and the permissions are set to allow use from any app (I have also tried setting this to manual and specifically setting allow with Chrome).
When I browse to the site in chrome, I am asked to pick the SSL key to use - the key is detected and I select it from the list (it is the only one available anyway).
I am completely out of ideas. Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this?

Windows will not pass smart card information to browsers

I'm having an issue where when trying to connect to my employer's website from my home computers I'm not getting prompted for my smart card credentials whenever I'm using my laptop, however when I'm using my desktop the prompts appear and smart card authentication occurs. Both systems are using Windows 10, and I'm using IE11 and Chrome on both systems. I suspect that there may be some Windows side setting that's blocking the browsers from seeing my smart card on my laptop, but after countless hours of troubleshooting and digging around every possible option online I'm at a standstill here.
Things that I've tried:
Tested smart card reader and card on second computer, no issues, IE/Chrome prompts for certificate and allows login to employer website.
Internet Options > Security > Internet > Custom Level: Don't prompt for client certificate selection when only one certificate exists - set to Disable
Internet Options > Content > Certificates: All smart card certificates are enabled for client authentication
Internet Options > Advanced: SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0/1.1/1.2 enabled
Installed all required PKI certificates required by employer
My smart card certificates do appear under the personal tab, so I know the laptop is seeing them, but for some reason IE and Chrome can't access the certificates (further verified by removing the card, deleting the certificates, reinserting the card and checking that the certificates come back).
I know it's not an issue with my internet connection or my employer's website as my desktop prompts me for my smart card certificate appropriately, so the issue here is limited to just my laptop. At a minimum the website should be pulling up the Windows smart card dialog and prompting me for my card even when it's not inserted, but I can't even get to that point right now.
I finally figured it out after finding a TechNet article on enabling the advanced CryptoAPI 2.0 diagnostics. It turned out that the Kaspersky anti-virus I had installed on my computer was injecting it's own security certificate instead of letting Windows pop up the certificates on my smart card. Uninstalled Kaspersky, everything worked.

Cannot connect to the real github.com in Chrome

Recently, when i use Chrome to visit github, i meet the following error.
Cannot connect to the real github.com
Something is currently interfering with your secure connection to github.
Try to reload this page in a few minutes or after switching to a new network. If you have recently connected to a new Wi-Fi network, finish logging in before reloading.
If you were to visit githu.com right now, you might share private information with an attacker. To protect your privacy, Chrome will not load the page until it can establish a secure connection to the real github.com.
It works well in Firefox/Safari, my desktop environment is Mac OS Mavericks,
anybody can help on it?
Many thanks
You need to delete the expired certificate from your login keychain, and restart Chrome.
Here is the DigiCert link that explains how to do it.
https://blog.digicert.com/expired-intermediate-certificate/
On July 26,2014 at 12:15 PM, some customers and users on sites secured by DigiCert reported that Mac OS X systems were experiencing certificate chain errors due to what appears to be a bug in how the Apple OS handles expired intermediate certificates in the SSL trust chain. Customers on Windows and other platforms have not reported any issues.
The problem actually affect any client platform with a locally cached intermediate certificate.
