Before switching to another browser

There are a number of issues that can prevent you from loading web pages in Google Chrome, from a broken internet connection to a domain name server (DNS) outage. It could also be caused by a form submission error (err_cache_miss) or, if the problem isn’t on your end, a slow or broken web server that stops responding.

However, one unfortunate error in Chrome that can stop pages from loading is the “dns_probe_finished_bad_config” error. This has a number of causes, but usually points to a problem with a domain name server configuration. If you want to know how to fix a dns_probe_finished_bad_config error, here’s what you need to do.

A dns_probe_finished_bad_config error message usually appears in Google Chrome when your device’s DNS server can’t resolve a website address you’re trying to visit. In many cases, this is due to an undetected issue with your device’s DNS configuration.
