‘Aw, Snap!’ error encountered in Google Chrome

Asked By avah.hannah 30 points N/A Posted on - 06/29/2014

I use Google Chrome as my default internet browser and I have not encountered any problems with it until now. I get an error every time I open a website that says ""Aw, Snap! Something went wrong while displaying this webpage.' What is causing this error and is there any fix for this?

‘Aw, Snap!’ error encountered in Google Chrome

Seems to be a problem with an extension you recently installed.

I advise you take these next steps:

1. First of all remove all the extensions that are present in Google Chrome.

2. Open the settings menu by typing in the address bar the following : chrome://settings/   and then press enter.

3. Click the Show Advanced Settings tab that is located at the bottom of the page.

4. In the Privacy section you will check/mark the following options:

4.a) Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors

4.b) Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar

4.c) Predict network actions to improve page load performance

4.d) Enable phishing and malware protection

This should solve your problem. If not, another option should be reinstalling the browser because an extension might've damaged the internal behavior of the browser.
