How to Fix Issues Using chome://settings/help or hrome://settings/help in Google Chrome?
When your Google Chrome browser starts acting up—slowing down, crashing, or failing to load pages properly—the first thing many users do is head to the Chrome settings and troubleshooting tools. However, confusion often arises between the correct and incorrect versions of the Chrome help URL, such as chome://settings/help and hrome://settings/help. In this blog, we'll break down what these URLs mean, how to fix related issues, and how Callvoicesupport can assist you if Chrome isn't functioning as expected.
Understanding the Difference Between chome://settings/help and hrome://settings/help
Let’s address the obvious: both chome://settings/help and hrome://settings/help are misspelled variations of the actual Chrome URL: chrome://settings/help. This correct URL is your gateway to checking for browser updates, fixing performance issues, and accessing Chrome's version information.
Unfortunately, typing either chome://settings/help or hrome://settings/help into the address bar will result in an error message or a “site cannot be reached” notice because these URLs do not exist in the Chrome environment. However, they are commonly mistyped, and many users are left wondering how to proceed when the browser doesn’t cooperate.
Why Are Users Searching for chome://settings/help or hrome://settings/help?
There are a few common reasons users end up searching for these mistyped URLs:
Autocorrect or Typing Errors: Fast typing or autocorrect features on mobile or desktop keyboards often result in typos.
Assuming All Chrome Functions Are Accessible by URL: While Chrome does offer many internal URLs for accessing features, users often assume there are URLs for every function, even when mistyped.
Guides and Forums with Typos: Some websites or online guides accidentally publish incorrect URLs, which users copy-paste without verifying.
Regardless of the cause, the intent behind accessing chome://settings/help is typically to update Chrome or fix browser-related problems.
What You Should Actually Use Instead
If you are trying to troubleshoot or update Chrome, the correct URL is:
arduino
Copy
Edit
chrome://settings/help
This link will open Chrome’s internal help and version-checking page. From there, Chrome will automatically check for updates and install them if needed. If you're unable to open this URL due to browser errors, there might be deeper problems with your installation or system.
In that case, you can also access Chrome settings manually:
Open Chrome.
Click on the three vertical dots (menu) at the top-right corner.
Navigate to Help > About Google Chrome.
This will lead you to the same page that chrome://settings/help opens.
