Is there a more detailed write-up about what exactly is causing the problem?

No problems here. Must be one of the shitty providers like ziggo or kpn

Had the same issue. Restart didn't work and Safari was working fine.

For me what worked was removing Google's DNS server 8.8.8.8 from my network settings and voila; it worked.

The title is misleading, Google has not broken anything, Dutch providers have. I hope Google will do nothing, and the providers will be pressured into fixing their shitty hardware.

If there is, please submit it to HN and let's get an accurate summary of what's happening, i.e. 'Some Dutch and German providers break QUIC'.

Quicker link to the setting: chrome://flags/#enable-quic I had the same problem this morning. Disabling QUIC solved it.

I experienced problems with several Google services from DK after upgrading Chrome this morning.

Disabling QIUC as parent links to unbroke things for me.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

QUIC is quite interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUIC

So.. Dutch ISPs - or someone else along the route - interfering with UDP traffic?

I suspect they are throttling UDP traffic on "non-web" ports, traffic might look like torrent encrypted stream :). Anyway you can test whats going on with https://github.com/lucas-clemente/quic-go

I have started experimenting the same last year on our Android devices at a customer network, thanks to QUIC we weren't able to use their network authentication any longer.

For some reason, even disabling it did not help.

Our workaround, was to use the old system browser for authentication and then switch to using chrome after being authenticated.
