Chrome recently cannot connect to the internet.
Chrome responds on every attempt with
"This page isn’t working
(website) didn’t send any data.
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE"
With Safari or internet there is no problem.
My anti-virus is turned off.
I added to Firewall Chrome is allowed incoming internet connections
What else can be stopping Chrome.
MacBook Pro 13", 10.13
I found another anomaly. I finally ran my laptop while on a different network. My home network is AT&T, I ran it on a public WiFi and everything worked perfectly. I am including EtreCheck for my home network in case someone can point out something.

I agree if two other browsers work and a third doesn't, you go for the third. But if the third one states explicitly It's not the browser and it is hard coded, I tend to believe the browser.
So, I run Google again.
Google starts by attempting to get a secure connection, but it times out.
This is the response from the Google Chrome Browser.
This site can’t be reached
books.google.com took too long to respond.Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_TIMED_OUT
The links for "Checking the proxy and the firewall" are likely a Mac problem, since Google has no settings for that.
I also don't have a proxy.
If I click on the proxy firewall link, this shows up below"
Allow Chrome to access the network in your firewall or antivirus settings.
If it is already listed as a program allowed to access the network, try removing it from the list and adding it again.
The auto Google response leads me to believe it is a Mac problem.
Since I allow it, in Preferences - Firewall, to receive incoming communication, what else can it be.
I solved my problem. I decided to call up AT&T since it was definitely something to do with my router. We went through all sorts of things, and I finally suggested I had a T-Mobile phone amplifier on my router. He suggested I disconnect it. I wasn't able to connect any better, so I re-booted and all of my Google https problems disappeared. It wasn't Apple.
Let's try running I'd run etrecheck. I'd run etrecheck. The proprietary stuff gets filtered.

FWIW, it is not a "Mac" problem. It is a problem local to your machine. Whether it's something with your Chrome install/settings or software/settings on your Mac.
Chrome has no problem accessing books.chrome.com in Mojave.
Sorry for clicking Helpful. I thought I'd get a drop-down. This comment is totally irrelevant since the Google topic is basically assuming you have a running Google system and it has problems. I have actually, before posting this, deleted and installed the current version. I also have the current version of High Sierra.
What else can be stopping Chrome.
If it is "a Mac problem" as you seem to believe, then it is likely to be caused by your "anti-virus" program... which isn't a Mac problem, it's a consequence of using whatever junk you're using. Rule 1 of Macs is don't install junk.
Merely disabling such things is usually insufficient. If you expect your Mac to work properly, it has to be uninstalled according to its instructions... assuming those instructions actually work, and they often don't.
Thank you. No.
I read the description and was afraid that it would do it for everything.
I clicked and nothing different.
I thought it was supposed to eliminate profiles and everything else, including bookmarks.
Nothing different.
Yes I noticed both
I actually don't have anything in my Mac by Smithmicro. Suggestions?
About WD. Yes. It's a utility for a flash utility drive and it will need to reinstall it.
Did you notice anything in the network settings that would stop Chrome from functioning?
Well, somebody put Smith Micro SW on it, see if you recognize any...

Did you get rid of all the MacKeeper files?
I didn't see any Network settings in the report, but Safari uses settings from Sts Prefs Network, Chrome uses a bunch of it's own.
You indicated that you could get chrome to work elsewhere. I suggest trying this
Thanks for the help.
About the SmithMicro stuff. I think its an artifact. I had Internet Cleaning, but that wasn't allowed at some point. I can find nothing.
Thanks for connectivity-diag app. It didn't give any better clue.
However It did give me an idea. Https connections.
I have tested that a few times since realizing that and it's pretty much the problem.
About eset. It's antivirus.
Why was that bothering Chrome? some type of misconfiguration of the network or the personal cell tower? I assumed you were hardwired to the router. even if wifi, this shouldn't have been bothering things. I thought I would throw this out.
I'm glad you sorted this out. Congratulations.

I finally had a chance to talk with T-Mobile about the cell-spot. They said the AT&T speeds via speediest.net were very low.
6 mbps for download and 0.6 mbps for upload. This probably was the reason. I have the basic internet so uhmm go figure.
I also looked at what I'd pay for unlimited and that's $30 more per month.
T-Mobile said they had another amplifier that would work if I really had signal, but I don't - so...
On a side note, I realized I'm also having problems with Dropbox for the same T-Mobile reason.
End of conversation I guess
Chrome is not connected to internet but Safari and Firefox are
