How do I fix Google Chrome not loading pages?

If you’re having problems opening certain websites, you might want to try a different browser. In this case, there is no better alternative than Opera One.
This browser is similar to Chrome but focuses heavily on user security and privacy, further offering a free built-in VPN service.
Opera One also has a Private Mode that allows you to browse any information without collecting your data, thus protecting your privacy even more.
It has a new user interface with a pleasant-looking chromatic and modular design with tab islands to ensure effortless multitasking.
A new browser also means a fresh start, so you can easily import your bookmarks from Chrome, and off you go.
