I have switched from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome because Internet Explorer was too slow and had undoable issues with it, and I had imported all of my bookmarks (favourites) on to Google Chrome and all of those websites work well and fast, but I cannot get Wrong Planet to work.

I've wrote in the correct URL for WP in the address bar, but a Cloudflare page comes up saying it is checking my browser for accessing WrongPlanet.net. It used to do this before logging on to WP when I used Internet Explorer, but only for a few seconds, then it went straight on to WP. Now it does it for ages, and I have gone away and done something else to give it chance, and about 40 minutes later it was still checking my browser and so nothing was really happening.

Is WP supposed to work on Google Chrome? How do I get it to work with Google Chrome?

Odd, i'm using Chrome 23 for Windows 7, and I only get the Cloudfare popup for a few seconds. Try clearing the Cache, and if necessary, re-install Chrome.

I use Google Chrome and it works just fine. I have to wait four seconds at most. :?

Maybe it's the internet connection, or maybe loading a lot of bookmarks is making the browser laggy. I know Chrome does that a lot.

EDIT: Are you using Adblock or anything of the sort?

how frustrating. I use adblock and chrome, and the checking page is barely up long enough for me to see it. I have yet to see it long enough to actually read every word on it.

The CloudFlare DDOS page does work in Chrome, but not reliably. As I posted in the DDOS thread, it sometimes redirects me to an random JavaScript file instead of the actual page. If I go back to the original URL and reload it that works. Apart from the DDOS protection WP works just fine for me in Chrome.
