Recently ran into a strange problem when doing Google IMAGE searches, where the first few rows of image thumbnails would show up normally in the search results, but the rest of the page was filled with "blank" thumbnails all the way down the rest of the page (the outline of the thumbnail box was there, but there was no image in any of those boxes). Finally, FINALLY, after trying anything and EVERYTHING to solve this, I eventually got pointed in the direction of trying different things with the Chrome Extensions settings (click on the "three dots" in the upper right-hand corner of an open Chrome page, then go to "More Tools", and finally, "Extensions"), and stumbled across the BitDefender "Anti-tracker" extension which was the culprit in this particular case.......turning off that particular extension IMMEDIATELY returned full functionality to my Google Image searches !! Just posting it here on the off-chance somebody else who uses BitDefender suddenly runs into this VERY random problem, and just happens to read this..... SAVE FERRIS

No problems here on multiple browsers. Only problem I have is duckduckgo image search showing only the placeholders. Images come up when I do click on them but all preview thumbnails are still blank until clicked on. I think this has more to do with firefox's tls handshake on ddg slowing things down than Bitdefender.
