Google Chrome pages won't load

I’m running Windows 7 and using Google Chrome, but out of nowhere, everything just broke! I try to open a new tab and... nothing. Absolutely nothing happens. It just sits there with that little loading circle spinning and spinning. I’ve already tried uninstalling Chrome, rebooting my PC, and then installing a totally fresh version of Chrome, but it’s the exact same story!
For security, I’ve got Avast running, and I’ve run full scans with both Avast and Malwarebytes, but nope—nothing comes up as infected. I did some digging online and saw that other people are dealing with this too, but I haven't found a single actual fix yet.
Does anyone have any clue what might be causing this?
Do you think doing a System Restore would actually help anything at this point?
The weirdest part is that Mozilla Firefox works perfectly fine on this same computer!
🤷

Honestly, this is the only fix that actually works, but every time I fire up Chrome, it throws a warning at me saying it’s not a secure way to operate. 😕

Honestly, this is the only fix that actually works for me, but whenever I fire up Google Chrome, it gives me this big warning saying it's not a secure way to browse. 😕
