I'm amazed a law firm would let you take a tower home but thats a different story... also, could you try with a 3rd browser and at least get quorum on what works and what doesn't work?

Perhaps it will help to show what loads and what doesn't:
ESPN only loads the very top of the page, and nothing more.
Westlaw never shows up.
TMZ shows up, but not the videos.
Java...

Does Westlaw still use a popup to log in? I have not used it in many years, but it might be a problem with Chrome's popup blocker.

I know it's not what you want to use, but just as a troubleshooting step, does IE work? If so, it may be a bad setting or corrupted Chrome installation. In that case, you can try going into...

So, does it work with IE? That should have been the first step to pinpoint whether this is network related or browser related. My guess its network related?

Things should automatically be on the bad list if they haven't been vetted. Also you didn't say they were on a "bad" list, just an unapproved list.
Google is pretty good about Chrome security and...

Then may I respectfully suggest adjusting the title of your post? IT gets a bad enough rap when things go wrong. How about a little recognition for something done right?
