[SOLVED] Chromium >= 43.x DNS problems

Hello,

beginning with Chromium 43.x, it started to show "Resolving Host" forever until, after about 30 seconds, a page was loaded. The issue continued with the recent 44.x versions, so I've had to downgrade to 42.x a few times (which resolved the issue each time).

Here's what I've tried so far:

• Obviously, clear Chromium's Cache. Remove ~/.cache/chromium, ~/.config/chromium and completely reinstall Chromium.

• Uncheck "Prefetch resources to load pages more quickly" -> chrome://dns says "DNS pre-resolution and TCP pre-connection is disabled."

• Use Google's DNS servers to eliminate my ISP's DNS servers as the problem's cause

• Disable IPv6 using the ipv6.disable=1 kernel line.

Any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium >= 43.x DNS problems

After updating from Chromium 42 to 45, the issue seems to be fixed. Unfortunately, I can't tell what exactly solved the DNS problems.
