If Twitter won\u2019t work in Chrome, what can you do to fix the problem? We\u2019ve got 13 fixes to try.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

Restart Your PC\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Twitter won\u2019t work in Chrome, a quick restart of your PC may solve the problem. Try restarting your PC to see if the issue is fixed.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restart Google Chrome\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If Twitter isn\u2019t working, you could try restarting Chrome.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Click the X<\/span> in the top right of the Google Chrome window to close it.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Wait a few minutes, then open Google Chrome again and see if the issue persists.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Try Browsing In Incognito Mode\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If none of the above fixes have worked for you, why not try browsing in incognito mode<\/a>? Google Chrome\u2019s incognito mode \u2014 known as private browsing on some other browsers \u2014 could help resolve the issue with Twitter if it\u2019s caused by connectivity issues.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Update Google Chrome\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You could always try updating Google Chrome to ensure you\u2019re running the latest version. Here\u2019s how to do that:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Launch Google Chrome.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Click the three vertical dots<\/span> menu at the top right of your screen.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Select Settings<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. From the left-hand menu, choose About Chrome<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Chrome should now automatically check for and install any new updates.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"Update<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      Check if Twitter Is Down\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      If Twitter won\u2019t work in Chrome, it could be caused by something as simple as a Twitter outage. You can check to see if Twitter is down by visiting DownDetector<\/a> \u2014 though if there\u2019s an outage, you\u2019ll have to sit tight and wait for Twitter to fix the problem.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Restart Your Router\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Sometimes a router restart can resolve any issues accessing Twitter or other sites if the problem is caused by poor internet connectivity. If your router has a power button, press it and wait for it to finish turning off. Once it\u2019s powered off, unplug it from the mains, wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on to see if the issue persists.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Disable Chrome Extensions\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Chrome Extensions can come in pretty handy for a variety of tasks, but they can also cause conflicts which could interfere with Twitter loading properly, for example if they\u2019re corrupt or have a bug. You can disable Chrome extensions to see if this resolves the issue connecting to Twitter.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Launch Google Chrome and click the three vertical dots<\/span> menu at the top right of your screen.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Select Extensions<\/span> > Manage Extensions<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Find the extension you suspect is the culprit \u2014 for example, it may be a recently installed extension \u2014 and toggle it off. \n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. You can try this for each extension in turn until you locate the issue, or turn them all off to see if this solves the problem.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

        Clear Your Browser Cache\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Clearing your browser cache can fix a variety of issues, so if something goes wrong while accessing Twitter<\/a>, here\u2019s how to clear your browser cache:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Launch Google Chrome and click the three vertical dots<\/span> menu at the top right.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Select More Tools<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Click Clear Browsing Data<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n
          \"Clear<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Select the Time Range<\/span>, or choose All Time<\/span> to delete everything, then click Clear Data<\/span>. Make sure that browsing history, download history, cookies & other site data, and cached images & files are all checked.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n
            \"Clear<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

            Reset Chrome Browser\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            It may seem like a fairly drastic option, but you could always reset Google Chrome. This resets all Google Chrome\u2019s settings to factory mode, and here\u2019s how to do it:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Launch Google Chrome.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Click on the three vertical dots <\/span>menu and then click Settings<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. From the left-hand menu, select Reset Settings<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
              \n
              \"Reset<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Select Restore Settings to Their Original Defaults<\/span> > Reset Settings<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                \n
                \"Reset<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                Disable Your VPN\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                If you use a VPN to protect your IP address, you may be unable to access Twitter or location-specific Twitter content. Disabling your VPN could help. The steps to do this will vary depending on the VPN you\u2019re using.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Disable Your Antivirus Program\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                We don\u2019t necessarily recommend disabling your antivirus, but if Twitter won\u2019t work in Chrome, you could give it a try. If your antivirus software is flagging Twitter as a threat, it may not load properly. Don\u2019t forget to enable your antivirus again once you\u2019ve finished on Twitter. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                A better long-term solution is to add Twitter as an exception or mark it as safe so that your antivirus doesn\u2019t prevent access. The steps to do this will depend on which antivirus software you\u2019re using, but you\u2019ll usually find this information in your antivirus software\u2019s help pages.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Turn Off Proxy Servers\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                If you\u2019re still experiencing issues with Twitter in Google Chrome, you could try turning off proxy servers in Chrome. Here\u2019s how to do that:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Open Google Chrome.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Click the three vertical dots<\/span> menu at the top right and select Settings.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. From the left-hand menu, choose System<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. Select Open Your Computer\u2019s Proxy Settings<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                5. In the Settings <\/span>window, ensure the toggle for Automatically Detect Settings<\/span> is set to off.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                6. Under Manual Proxy Setup, ensure the toggle for Use a Proxy Server<\/span> is off.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                  \n
                  \"Turn<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                  Contact Twitter Support\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  None of the above fixes solved your problem? It\u2019s probably time to contact Twitter support<\/a>. You might find this is a known issue that\u2019s affecting others too. Even if it\u2019s only affecting you, Twitter support should be able to help and advise what to try next if the above fixes didn\u2019t work for you.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  As you can see, there are several fixes to try when Twitter won\u2019t work in Chrome, so there\u2019s no need to panic. Hopefully, you\u2019ll only need to try a few of these fixes before you find one that works for you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
