Okay, I've been having some problems.
Lately (the last few days) I've switched over from Firefox, and have started using Chrome.
And now every 5-10 links I click seem to be broken...

Would the switch to Chrome have anything to do with this problem?

Try using Fx and see if the problem persists. Then you'll have your answer.

Can't say i've had that problem using chrome. If the Fx test concludes that it is, indeed, chrome's fault, I suggest a reinstallation. Chrome is good, you might have just had a run of bad luck.

Well, not sure exactly what happened, but my internet is working now.

Congrats. Welcome to the Chrome we all love and enjoy =)
