These ones are risky as they can make you download or install something. So when you try to click on something, you get popped over to wherever they want to send you. Some sites also add them for their advertisements. There is no way around them on many sites, as they restrict it so that if you shut them out (through an add-on, etc.) that they won't let you view the site. If it is only on certain ones, then those sites may well have a popup overlay, which is something I really don't like and is quite sneaky. Next test to see if it is doing it only on certain sites or all sites.

Sites are great for adding them if you aren't careful. Remove any that you yourself didn't intentionally install. If you are like most, who don't clear out their history, cache and restart the browser regularly, then you may have added it on without even knowing it and now it is taking over.Ĭheck your add-ons first. Sounds a lot like either an add-on or a bug is causing your issue. UBlock Origin V 1.18.4 (Enabled on All Sites)Ħ4-Bit Operating System, 圆4 Based ProcessorĪMD A8-7410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics, 2.20GHz Turns out it was 'Use hardware acceleration when available' under Advanced Settings, fixed by turning it off. This problem does not happen if I use Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge, only on Google Chrome. I'm unable to do a Windows Update restore because it's been over 10 Days since the last update, which is longer than the 4 or 5 days I've been having the Checkerboard problem. I have Cleared Cache/History/Download History, done a Full Virus/Malware Scan with no results, Reset Chrome's Settings, Uninstalled all Extensions, Uninstalled Google Chrome and used CCleaner to wipe residual uninstall junk files, restarted my computer, and installed a Fresh Copy of Google Chrome to no change.

If anyone can help me out, that’d be great! I can’t even use some websites because it wont let me see the content of the page. This issue started happening 2 Updates ago. I’ve tried uninstalling my Extensions, updating Chrome, changing the zoom on the page, and restarting my computer. Occasionally and without pattern, if it’s on a Fillable Field and I click or hover on the field, the transparent checkerboard begins to ‘flash’ on and off.

It also seems to change slightly if I adjust the Zoom on a page. It only affects certain areas of a Webpage and not all text. There seems to be an ‘Overlay’ of a White or Transparent Checkerboard over some of the content on a Webpage. I’ve been having a problem that’s resulting in the inability to use Google Chrome.
