I can't see anything like that in my settings.

The setting and wording may have changed in the latest Chrome version since that article was written. I use Firefox as default, but also have Chrome installed as a backup. This setting under Privacy looks to be very similar in function. Toggle it off and see if it fixes the message you're getting.

Those are Google Chrome settings. 3 dots upper right, settings, privacy, expand the "more", and look.

I have read that unchecking Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6) resolves this issue.

Right click Network - Properties - Change adapter settings. Right click your active connection and click Properties. Uncheck Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
