I am having the same problem with “resolving host” intermittently. Chrome also displays images darker than other browsers, whether they are ICC tagged or not, at least for me (Mac Leopard, Safari, FF, Chrome).

I wonder if one of the problems is where you have previously used firefox as a browser. Uninstalling firefox on my Windows XP machine didnt seem to make a difference by itself, even when I also took out relevant program files and application data manually afterwards. However when I used regedit to completely remove all registry keys with reference to Mozilla or Firefox, there were about a dozen or so entries to remove. My registry cleaner no longer finds Mozilla Firefox so i believe it is completely removed. Now as a consequence PC seems faster with google Chrome and the resolving host message appears only momentarily now.
Start – Run – Rededit – edit tab – find – Mozilla – Delete – find next – delete until finished
NB
If you are not confident amending the registry check with someone who is

This problem is a constant issue with Chrome on 64-bit Linux. I have noticed that other browsers based on webkit are also slower to resolve hosts than gecko-based browsers and presto-based browsers (that is, Midori and Epiphany are slower to resolve hosts than Firefox, Flock, and Opera). But none have it as bad as Chrome. I have also observed this on Windows, where Chrome is ultra slow, Safari (also based on webkit) is merely slow, and everyone else is average.

Once the resolving part is done, Chrome is amazingly fast to load. But that is playing catch-up, and sometimes the competitors are already finished before the catching up starts.

The only solution that works permanently: uninstall Chrome and use something else.

I like Chrome (not enough to displace Firefox or Flock), but this is not acceptable.

Having the same issue with “resolving host” and taking FOREVER to load a simple page.

I have tried all of the above, including removing and reinstalling – virus check is clean.

I can not for the LIFE of me figure this one out.

Small office, just 3 computers, with a DSL modem (Motorola) and a router (wireless).

I keep thinking the problem must be with the modem and router, but the problem started months after these were installed.

I’m also wondering if there is a conflict somewhere with Chrome, Safari (and it’s Bonjour), Firefox and IE. I only use Firefox and Chrome right now…. but maybe it has something to do with the others??

Any help would be appreciated !

I LOVE chrome, but can’t use it until this is resolved.

I was having the problem and couldn’t get any of these solutions to work. I then tried reinstalling Zone alarm and that seemed to resolve it.
