How to Fix ‘Download failed Blocked’ in Google Chrome?
The message ‘Download failed Blocked’ appeared in the Chrome browser when I tried to download music for myself from one of the sites. I’ve never had this problem, I’ve been using the browser for about half a year (or even longer). Restarted my PC and router, since I thought they were the problem, but nothing has changed. Help, please.
