I have given Google Chrome a try as my default browser instead of Firefox. I really love it, but after while I stalled Symantec Endpoint Protection, I got an error message when I try to load the new Google Chrome. Due to this error I could not use Google Chrome on my machine at all.  The error message says:

“Ah, Snap! Something went wrong while displaying this webpage. To continue, press Reload or go to another page.”

Following is a screen shot of the error. No matter what I do, I still face this error message.

This problem is most likely because of anti-virus. Luckily, two solutions I  learn at the moment are:

1. Right click on the Chrome’s shortcut and select property and add “–no-sandbox” without quotes to the end of Target.
2. Symantec has also posted a fix if you have access to the registry:
   1. Backup the registry on an affected system.
   2. Open the registry on the Agent system by entering regedit from a run prompt .
   3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SysPlant.
   4. Open the Start DWORD.
   5. Change the value to 4 to disable the drivers.
   6. Reboot the system to commit the changes.

Then you are ready to go to see Google Chrome works!!!

Please post in the comment if you have further info or if the suggested solution helped you.
