It turns out that this is a known issue in Google Chrome and has also been experienced by dozens of Google users on Twitter. The problem gets resolved when the computer is restarted but that’s just a temporary solution as the errors keep coming back. This isn’t as issue with my Internet connection as I can easily access the Google websites from IE and Firefox but they simply refuse to load inside Chrome with the following error:Įrror 15 (net::ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED): Unknown error. In our article we show you possible sources of errors and some useful approaches to fixing the "ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED" error.Ever since I upgraded to the latest version of Google Chrome, I keep getting “socket” errors when trying to open Google, Gmail or any other website under the domain. As far as the causes are concerned, however, the user is left in the dark, which makes fixing the error an almost unsolvable task especially because the error does not necessarily have to be caused by Chrome. The error message "ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED", for example, informs you that the connection to the desired website has been closed. Even though the browser performs brilliantly, it is also prone to errors, which leave its users confronted with cryptic messages. The driving force behind the rapid rise was - in addition to excellent marketing campaigns (particularly also via its own search engine) - primarily the brand name Google itself. According to the web statistics portal W3Counter, Chrome's market share today is over 50 percent (as of June 2018). Despite the strong competition from Internet Explorer and Firefox, etc., the application was successful in the years to come. In 2008, Google released the first version of its own web browser Chrome.
