Sits "waiting for example.com" Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Firefox on the same machine, at the same time, has no problems accessing webpages. Chromium has a not-quite-every-time habit of hanging, with the twirly indicator going backwards, saying "Waiting for example.com". It will sit like that for minutes at a time, sometimes you get a page loaded, sometimes not. I know that it is not the webpage in question because (A) it can happen on any site and (B) some of the sites are mine, so I have monitored the server load at the time and not observed a problem. However, what is interesting is that I can click a link in Chromium, go to my SSH terminal for the server with tail --follow access.log running, and see that the request is not actually being received (until it is, at which point, Chromium receives + renders the page at normal speed). So DNS? I've put the test site in my hosts file, to eliminate this one. Still the problem exhibits.
