Thanks the hardware acceleration tip worked on my netbook. It was unuseable before
It worked for me. Speed is comparatively far better now. Thanks for the suggestion.
Tried it and it doesn't work
Unfortunately, Google Chrome has compatibility issues with some windows 10 machines. No matter what you might try in order to speed up the slow loading of Chrome, it still takes a lot longer than it should. Until Google updates chrome to run better on win10... use FireFox - it loads very quickly and is also very reliable.
