Google apps slow loading Chromebook

I have an Acer Chromebook. I've been an Android fan for years so when our Samsung tablet packed up I bought the Chromebook with the intention of replacing the tablet and my Lenovo PC. I stopped using MS Office years ago and I use Google Docs, Sheets and Slides for everything.

Imagine my surprise when I opened Google Drive for the first time on my Chromebook and found it took ages to load. Google Photos and the Play Store are the same. This has remained a problem for the 6 months I've owned the Chromebook. These are Google Apps on Google operating system and it takes 40 seconds for them to open. Everything is up to date and I've cleared caches, etc.

I'm almost done with Google now. So many things feel like they are in permanent beta. I have never owned an Apple product, but I can hear the MacBook Neo calling.


Interesting, nothing for me yet in the UK. Are you seeing traffic lights on your phone screen and on Android Auto?


No this feature disappeared from Google maps a long time ago, at the same as it stopped showing calendar event locations on the map. I suspect this is also linked to the loss of the Time To Leave notification, which I found yo be very useful.
