I hate to admit defeat but, for now, I've uninstalled Chrome and am keeping my other two browsers. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the Internet Explorer that I rarely utilize has been operating surprisingly satisfactorily and I also chose to uninstall and re-install Firefox. I had ceased relying on that as my default a few months back when it began acting a bit buggy (flash player not responding and such) so I thought a fresh start with Mozilla as a number two browser might be in order. Don't think I'll be missing Chrome.
