Chrome is the most popular and most used browser in the world, but it is not without bugs or errors and it is possible to encounter different types of them while browsing the internet. One of the most common is that of a site that does not open, showing a page that says "Site can't be reached" or Site not available and then below, as a description of the error: Err_Connection_Reset."Err_connection_reset", as well as other similar types of errors such as ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED or even ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED, means that Chrome cannot create a connection with the site, due to a problem on the internet. Sometimes the problem is temporary, other times it recurs often.

If this is not the case, then there is a problem with the internet connection or with the network configuration on the computer or with Chrome itself.
