i use a Samsung Chromebook, a year and a half old, and it’s worked fine. Today, however, I’ve been having problems. I can access most websites fine, but YouTube keeps buffering, my Docs have me as offline even though I have perfect signal strength, and when I post a comment on Discord, it takes forever to upload. Also tried to send an email earlier and I couldn’t. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? ---

I don’t know if this is related, but lately, I’ve been having issues with cookies in Chrome. I’ll go to a website, it doesn’t work, I then have go into my settings and delete all cookies associated with that website (Youtube was one of them) before it will work again. ---

I cleared all cookies, ran a task manager, I tried to do an internet speed test but it came back with an error screen. The document I’m working on will save to the Drive after a period of inactivity, but the moment I add something to it, it’ll say SAVING and then go offline.
