Hi I have also noticed it takes longer that the other browsers. Good question. I don't have a answer!
Why are so many people having trouble with Chrome?

I am sure you will be here for some time to come yet if you choose to do so.Hi friend! yes I'm a little different my Aussie friend , but you will get use to me if Jack allows me to stay on MT.
Hi I think you will see why I started this thread if you visit our malware section!Still..this A holes attack you mentioned above really concerned me since I am a chrome user and make me quite paranoid now
Yes you have to be a safe surfer also. My seniors are to trusting, but I'm trying my best to inform and educate them.
The internet is a cesspool!
Hi I'm very happy with all the replies on this thread.
Thanks to all that have replied. Some thing is going on with the Chrome browser.

Well let's considerate since Google Chrome became popular therefore those malware writers wanted more $$$ since its a most use browser all the time so expected many security holes.
Also goes for other browsers too and these things will force the developers to patch them rapidly, it varies on where the target demands so reason why few on FF even in IE.

Top 3 browsers do not have that much of a diff between them, it depends on the user's choice. The most important thing required is a bit of common sense.
Hi James! I think it may be time for Google Chrome to wake up and smell the roses. My seniors are experiencing some major problems with Chrome. If you visit our malware section here on MT, you will see there are some major problems with Chrome and malware.
Well done Fiona congrats on a great job.
Hi scot. I agree 100%. Common sense is the best defense, but I really believe there is more to this story about Google Chrome.
That's what I'm feeling.
I too agree in this regard. As James said earlier the more popular you are, the more threats you have to face.
Well Some day MT will be number one and then we will have to deal with threats.
I can only say one thing from my heart that all your dreams come true.
Hi lost in Texas-Hold-Em.
MT will be number one some day. Jack is a good person and he will be rewarded. It will just take a little time to get there.
We're gaining 10 members a day. That's not to shabby!

Any browsers can be infected if you don't know where to click. I does not matter whether it's Chrome or Firefox.
Better you run your browser in sandbox

so curious i thought it was my DD that was working bad :/ well as far as i know the only infection problem i found with chrome was with a nasty plugin that was very hard to remove so i decided to create a script for removing it.... however i think that here applies the same tendency as occurs with windows let me explain:
many people think that mac os and linux are safe (certainly they are) but we are not custom to see malware targeting these OS why? simple.... these OS are used by a few people.. and most of that people have at least some knowledge about security and is not lucrative for malware developers, creating a malware that will only make a little revenue. With windows is different you can create a malware that will infect almost the whole generation of the OS and as everybody uses this OS it will be more profitable... so is the same with chrome... why do we have to create a malware for safari??? almost no one uses this software so.. there isnt any sense... also people are just unaware of the dangers that may be around... as some said "you are unsafe in the right time you open your browser"
Hi! I spend a lot of time reading the threads in the malware section, even though I can't reply. I replied once by mistake about this very Google Chrome problem because I found Chrome was causing seniors problems. Google Chrome was infected and was causing all kinds of trouble.
Running Malwarebytes found 1,200+ infections and PUP's, but Chrome escaped Malwarebytes, so I tried to uninstall Chrome. Chrome would not uninstall. The message I got was that Chrome was still running and I needed to shut it down. I installed REVO uninstaller and was able to remove Chrome. The PC then ran great. I have noticed that members are being told to uninstall Chrome in our malware section and are having problems uninstalling it. Here's what I found that should help uninstalling Chrome. Here's the link that explains what needs to be done.
Google Chrome needs to find out why their browser is getting infected and they need to find out soon!https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/fzi1DjIxVH4

Actually trojans & keylogger processes these days are also named as chrome as it's a common browser so that victim may not be suspicious about the activity.

Since it's the most common and popular browser, most generic malware and malvertising will work primary on chrome, if they lazy it won't on gecko based browsers. I've been using Pale Moon for a couple of years and never had any issues with it, can't say the same about ff, it was crashing to often for me to use it, and they rapid release cycle broke my addons so many times it became a joke.
