when trying to access Free Republic Frun Section on My Chrome browser....it defaults to a Comcast Activation Page.
Id be very careful about using this link f youre a COMCAST CUSTOMER..
https://activate.comcast.com/RoutingEngine/accountlookup.do
Yes Id be very careful about using this link f youre a COMCAST CUSTOMER..as Id hate to see anyone stuck in this partiular loop de loop
I changed service today..got a new modem...got activated...and all was seemingly well until I tried to log on the Free Republic....with my CHROME Browser.
My safari browser hasnt been hijacked oddly enough.
the people at comcast. have NO IDEA why this happened.
I can reach the Pings Page...with no problem.
Id rather us CHROME as I can use the font I want for this forum. but if I cant navigate between PINGs and the main FORUM page..It makes using chrome pretty problematic.
If anyone here has any ideas how to solve this minor but very irritating dilemma Id love to here them.

that HAD crossed my mind even though these people were all clearly of east indian “extraction”....
Google chrome is a really bad idea.
No way I’d use that software. I don’t even use google to search anymore.
You have to check your comcast bill each and every month.. they will add channels to your cabbl package and services to your internet package without your request and without your permission....then run your bill higher.
I used to work for them lol
Everyone who downloads torrents already know Comcast throttles your connections so why trust them?
given thier political ....”tendencies” im of a mind go with ATT although they may not be much better
not on the Phone Bank I wouldnt think?
Once you go through the activation page it should stop.
Same thing is happening to me through Safari. Both here and at Drudge. Been going on for about a week.
One would have hoped so.
what its only affecting one browser is really curious though
are you another of us unfortunate comcast users?
Cleared your cache?
rebooted your router?
Tasks for tomorrow. Im almost superstitious about doing anything else today...
It was Trump.
Comcast did a bunch of work in my area two weeks ago and however it happened, they blew everyone's cable modems right out of the water. Everyone who rented their cable modem got a new one the next day. I had to plug in my spare Cable Modem (I always have backup devices...) and call them to register it with their network.
Not the brightest bunch, those Comcast phone support monkeys......
Naw ...Farraklown!!
Actually I was internet tech support for them before being laid off. They transitioned most of our local operations to out-sourced call centers.
all of the people I spoke to were by the “sound of it” either in Injuh...or maybe bangladesh.
Frun is Free Republic secret squirrel stuff. Sometimes, internet providers hijack your browser because of it...
Stay away from Firefox, too liberal. Go with Palemoon. Still a Mozilla browser, just without the liberal loonies.
