Gmail not working in chrome.. - google-chrome

I am trying to open my gmail account. I am not able to. I am getting this error:
This site can’t be reached
mail.google.com refused to connect.
Try:
Reloading the page
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Other services are working fine.
One thing I have observed is, when I tried to open gmail in IE, its default language was portuguise(Brasil). When I tried to change it to English, I am getting this error in IE:
The webpage cannot be found
HTTP 404
Most likely causes:
•There might be a typing error in the address.
•If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date.
What you can try:
Retype the address.
Go back to the previous page.
Go to and look for the information you want.
More information
I have tried clearing browser data. Chrome is up-to-date. So what might be the problem.. Please help me.

One option you can try is to remove chrome and install a previous version and see if that helps. We had a similar scenario a few months ago and that sorted the problem out.

How to resolve the "Your browser did something unexpected" error when logging into GitHub on Chrome

I am having an issue with GitHub where when I try to submit certain things on the website it will shoot out the following error: "Your browser did something unexpected. Please contact us if the problem persists." I logged out of GitHub and now when I try and login, I am getting the error and cannot get back in.
Note this error is only occurring on my Chrome application and not on Microsoft Edge. I did clear the cache, cookies, data etc and restarted Chrome and the issue remains.
Anyone know of a good solution for this error or what is causing it in the first place?
Thanks VonC for your feedback! Turns out it was one extension in particular. Having the VPN application, Private Internet Access enabled, seems to cause issues with GitHub for some reason. Not sure why.
Check first if the issue persists, because the incident yesterday was about "elevated errors for Web and API requests."
Check also if you have 2FA activated (in which case, don't forget to use a personal access token as your password)
Finally, try and open Chrome without any plugin activated (start chrome --disable-extensions), to see if any plugin might have been interfering with the login process.
check the browser's extensions and turn off Adblock or Adgurd any extensions that block advertising then, try again

ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH when surfing to subdomains of Google

Very strange, I can surf to every website I try. Except subdomains of google.com.
ex; firebase.google.com or photos.google.com or analytics.google.com ...
(I am enable to do normal google searches though)
When I go to these sites Google Chrome returns following error:
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH
And it says x.google.com doesn't use a supported protocol.
Same result when using FireFox:
SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP
Microsoft Edge also raises an error, saying something about the TLS-configuration
As I found it very difficult to believe this is an issue caused by the Google side, I tried two things:
Cleared my cookies
Cleared SSL certificates
But no result.. Any idea's?
You may get this error as the website is still encrypted with the older RC4 or SHA-1 algorithm.
You must check the status of the Cipher-suit of the website, it will help you to understand the correct concern and you can solve the issue.

500 Internal Server Error just on Google Chrome when logging into PayPal

Whenever I try to visit log in to PayPal on Google Chrome (my current version is 35.0.1916.114 which is the most up to date at the time of writing this), I get a 500 Internal Server Error. Here's the exact one:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster#paypal.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
I'm able to visit the homepage fine and I can log in on all other browsers but this has been an issue for some time now (I just haven't gotten around to looking into it). At the moment, I open Firefox just to use PayPal but I used Chrome for everything else so I'm trying to solve it.
Any ideas on why this would be happening? I've seen other questions on the web similar but they are mainly due to people 'buying' through PayPal which isn't a problem for me. I can purchase items on the 'purchase' screens that you get redirected to from a site.
Thanks for your help!
I see this from time to time on a couple of very specific web sites (e.g., Slashdot). All other sites works fine when this happens (and the site works fine in other browsers, including Web Kit based ones). The embarrassingly simple solution is to restart the browser (I try to avoid it since I often have 50+ tabs open). If guess the problem might be session cookies (that would explain why a restart works). As a consequence of this guess, clearing all permanent cookies for PayPal and related sites might be worth considering.
For me, I do like this at the 500 error page
Click on the Secure to the left side of the address bar
Select Site settings
Select Reset site settings at the bottom of the page
Reload the page
in some cases but not all. There appears to be a corrupt session via the cookie or data stored for a specific browser in the java files. Try the following;
1. Download CCleaner (close chrome)
Remove and clean registry files
Remove tmp and cached for CHROME as well as cookies
Clear index.dat file
4. Control Panel / Java-open / clear internet java cached files
5. Make sure you're not using a proxy IP for the web
6. Restart computer
7. Try again
Now that Google separated cookies from permissions I had to delete my cookies separately to get it to work.
Click on the Secure to the left side of the address bar
Select Cookies
Select the wordpress cookies and Remove each one
Reload page

Google Chrome Client Certificate Popup

I'm implementing a mutual authentication for my client in order to solve not having to continually whitelist some of the agencies with a dynamic ip. The process works fine in all browsers that I've tried in the Windows environment (Windows 7).
The problem is that there is a popup for every time that the user goes to the site. On most browsers, this is a one time occurrence, when you first go to the site for the day. On Google Chrome, however, the popup occurs on what appears to be every POST/GET request. I found how to disable the popup for IE and FF with this link: http://docs.threerings.org.uk/wiki/Certificates_without_prompting, but there is still the problem with Chrome.
I've tried to install the certificate into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities, but I get an error message, "The import failed because the store was read-only, the store was full, or the store did not open correctly.".
If anyone has an idea on what I can do to get around the pop-up for Chrome, it would be greatly appreciated.
This is what you're looking for:
http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#AutoSelectCertificateForUrls
I could tell you how to do it exactly, but my honest opinion is that this is something you have to work out yourself. You need to know what is going on because you are more than likely to run into bugs (not bugs per-se but some undesired or unwanted results).
I have to admit that Google Chrome and Chromium are great browsers, but when it comes to client certificates, they have a lot of improvements to be made.
Just some extra info on this that may help people.
The first part references the CFBundleIdentifier which you can find in the Contents folder then info.plist. Click you Application and then show package contents then you should see it.
So I had to do this for Chromium for Tizen debugging below worked obviously use your CN name.
defaults write org.chromium.Chromium AutoSelectCertificateForUrls -array-add -string '{"pattern":"*","filter":{"ISSUER":{"CN":"Entrust Certification Authority"}}}'

Can Google Chrome be used on a local dev server with an invalid SSL cert?

Our application runs within a frameset that uses one visible frame to show content and two others to handle communication with the server. I did not design this and have no power to change it now.
The problem is that my local machine does not have a valid SSL certificate (it's self-signed), so accessing it and trying to login pops an 'invalid certificate' error. In IE and FF I am able to simply click a button to continue. However, I just started trying to test with Chrome and it seems to stop me dead with:
Error 501 (net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE): Unknown error.
There is no option to continue. There also doesn't appear to be anything in the options menu to add localhost as a trusted site, though I may have missed something. Does anyone know a way around this? Disabling SSL locally won't be very easy and risks me forgetting to enable it for deployment. Any other thoughts?
Thanks.
What I would recommend is to add the self-signed certificate to Chrome manually rather than trying to make localhost a trusted site. It looks like there are a couple ways to accomplish this. Here is one forum thread that discusses the issue, but I think it boils down to:
If you are on Windows, install the certificate in IE. The linked thread explains this process in more detail, but it looks like you go to the site in IE, click "Continue" or similar, then right-click the certificate error button to the right of the URL bar and follow the prompts. (If that doesn't work, here's a question that I believe addresses the issue.)
More recent versions of Chrome appear to allow certificate import directly. On version "15.0.874.121 m" for Windows, I can click the tool menu, go to Options, then Under the Hood, then the Manage Certificates button. I believe you then click the "Import..." button, though I do not recall whether you need to be on the Personal tab or one of the others. You will need to have the certificate in a file format that Chrome supports (p12 is one, there are others). There is a help link in the appropriate place that specifies the accepted formats.
I recommend Safari for this purpose. Sign a cert with StartCom, and enroll the cert in the browser.
