Is that Website down, or is it just you ? Now, Google Chrome Can Tell you

by Dinu on 20/07/2010



Looking at a dead website, ever wondered if its just you and your connection, or the website itself ? . A new feature added to Google Chrome can help you find the answer.

website down on chrome

As you can see from the image above (courtesy of a commenter  at Lifehacker), Chrome is getting a little more descriptive with its “Oops!” messages, gathering collective request failures from the Chrome crowd and determining that a site (in this case, Netflix) is having difficulties.

Cool Feature uh ? Ever noticed this one ?
