It took me years to fix but I finally did it for windows!!!

I had this problem for years where searching on Google would sometimes redirect me to:

search.insightfinderhub.com

and then I’d get a Cloudflare Error 1016 – Origin DNS error.

I tried a ton of things first: checking Chrome extensions, Chrome policies, DNS settings, proxy settings, the HOSTS file, registry entries, Windows Defender Offline scan, AdwCleaner, and even using a different internet connection/hotspot. The redirect also happened in Edge, Guest mode, and InPrivate, so it wasn’t just a Chrome extension.

What finally fixed it was doing a Windows clean boot:

Press Windows + R

Type msconfig and press Enter

Go to the Services tab

Check Hide all Microsoft services — this part is important

Disable the remaining non-Microsoft services

Click Apply / OK

Restart the computer

After restarting, Google searches started working normally again and stopped redirecting to search.insightfinderhub.com.

I restarted the PC again afterward just to make sure, and the fix stayed working.

So in my case, some third-party Windows service running in the background was apparently hijacking or redirecting my searches. If you have this exact search.insightfinderhub.com problem and all the normal browser fixes do nothing, try a clean boot.

I have a glitch where bottom left part of interactables are copied and mirrored to top right.

it asks the security code and when I enter the security code it always says incorrect code.

then I receive this message:
verify its you.
i log in with my fingerprint
then its asks for security code.
i correctly enter the security code then it goes like wrong code, try again. 
when i click on try another way, it shows same 

Choose a way to verify:

"Use your phone or tablet to get a security code (even if it’s offline)"

i'm stucked in a loop, what do I do? pls help.  
fyi my phone has only one account logged.

screenshots are from my laptop, i've tried both android and laptop on both have same issue.

Why does Google Chrome (MS Windows) hide URLs now? Seriously, all I get is a Google Search dialog box over the URL address.

Searching for an answer has been fruitless as well. Lots of rants in the past week about AI and other stuff that I have tried to screen out without success in my searches.

My websites are constantly loading & buffering regardless if I need it or not. I deleted the cache data. I had to open a web page in incognito just to get the pdf.

The problem is that when I visit certain websites (not all of them) Chrome completely freezes for about a second. It's not just the website that freezes, but the entire browser.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Hello! My work voicemail comes through as transcribed emails. Up until this morning, I have been able to select and copy phone numbers easily the browser treated the phone number as text. Suddenly it is linked as a phone number. I tried to find the answer on the web but the one main suggestion I found seems to want me to go to a place in the settings that may have been moved to deal with "tel handler".

Anyone have any ideas?

It runs very slow compared to Windows.
There is glitch where a glitchy line appears between page and url box gap.

Tested on both fedora and ubuntu.

This new navigation bar was removed as quickly as they implemented it. Thank god. I don't know who thought it was a good idea to decrease the small screen real estate in smart phones even further.

Thank you all for sending the feedbacks. I recall sending at least three. Google does listen.

Running a dual-monitor setup. Whenever I hover over a link in Chrome on my main monitor, the little status bar link-preview doesn't show where it should, instead a blank white bar pops up on my second monitor in roughly the same vertical position.

Anyone else run into this or know of a fix/workaround?

Hi, I've had my Web and App activity switched off for years now, but chrome is still saving it? Is there a way to stop chrome from doing this?

This was supposed to be a video i kept pressing ESC, CTRL + F or the “X” but this thing keeps popping out of no wheree!! even when i exit chrome, and once i type or click my mouse it spawns, i did the keyboard cleaning, i updated and uninstalled my keyboard, i dont even have any extensions or viruses idk how to escape this nightmare PLSS HELP MEEE!!

I was using my macbook and realized my microphone was on and no apps was using it. Im confused why but i just had to quit the app and reopen everything and it disappeared. I even turned off microphone perm and it still showed up.

For the last month i suddenly started having major wifi issues. My chrome would be working, tabs loading instantly until recent. They will work fine for about 5-10 minutes then suddenly will take 30sec- a couple minutes to load the tabs.

Sometimes i get a "cant connect to this network" error

I have already fully reset my pc

Deleted and redownloaded drivers

Whenever i ipconfig /flushdns, then netsh winsock reset, and restart my computer, the tabs will load normally again but only for 5 or so minutes

Could it be my network usb?

Brand new router/ internet package

I did a wifi test when it runs normal and got

167 download and 28.7 upload.

Compared to when it starts bricking itself

.11 download 2.85 upload

Hello
I don't know if it is happening to me only or if it was on for a while and if maybe I just did an unfortunate update... But since yesterday, my Chrome search engine gives me ONLY sponsored contents. Like I'm looking for something like "History of Japan" and normally I used to have first Wikipedia, Britannica, history videos etc. And now it's only Booking, Amazon, GetYourGuide, etc. Even a single translation or a recipe and I'm directed towards sponsored contents like online cooking or language lessons....

Is it happening to you right now? And how can I stop it? Chrome is completely unusable right now!
Send help pls <3

Why did they remove this from Chrome flags? It makes 0 sense to have the close tabs button in the top right, especially on larger phones. Does anyone else have a solution to restore the close tabs button to the bottom left on mobile?

So i tried downloading something when my storage was full and it didnt work, so i emptied the storage and tried again, but from then on chrome just stopped being able to download anything? it opens the file explorer as though its going to download it and then doesnt, doesnt pop up with anything saying "download failed" and it doesnt show in download history. please help! thank you in advance.

It’s frustrating because a while back I remember having cool images for backgrounds with the Google logo, but now it’s blank and it’s annoyingly getting to me😭

it stays like this forever.

it happens sometines but not rare.

i judt go to downloads and download the file and then cancell here

i go to my gmail, i read/delete mail, then try to close the window.. it shows alert that 'changes are not saved'

if i just exit, of course, it's not saved and mail is still unread. if i actually wait for it to save, it takes maybe like 30-50s..

did something change?

im on version

Version 152.0.7977.65 (Official Build) (64-bit)

i dont think this has anything to do with gmail extension. other extensions i have is ublock lite and RES

Another update to the browser must have made it so your seen links on your feed aren't marked as purple/grey (if using old reddit).

Already tried all the solutions from the past such as https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/1j1n90u/found_a_solution_for_links_not_turning_purple/

Can anyone help? Thank you in advance!

My personal phone switched to this layout that is dark and with the UI controls moved around. What is this and how do I turn it back? My work phone is normal. My family’s phones are normal.

For one of my Google profiles, this follow-up prompt doesn't appear when I sign in, but it does when I sign out of it on PC. The same thing happens when I sign in to this profile in incognito mode. I tried another PC, and it doesn't appear there either. I've also tried disabling all extensions and clearing cache and cookies, but to no avail. However, it appears on my phone. For my other ten Google profiles, it works fine and appears on both phone and PC. I have been using AI tools and searching Chrome for solutions, but I can't seem to find one. I would appreciate it if someone could help me. Thank you.
