After using Blogger since 2024 without major issues, this is the first time I’ve encountered such an error notification. A quick review of the Reddit Blogger community shows that the problem is widespread, affecting multiple users across Chrome on Windows and Android.
Why I Choose Blogger as My Blogging Platform?
I began my blogging journey on Blogger as a learning experiment and published around 40 posts. In March 2025, I migrated the site to WordPress (https://digitaltechbuzz.com/), and the initial transition was successful. By mid-2025, nearly 120 posts were indexed in Google Search. However, in August 2025, I noticed a critical issue—my homepage started referencing an unknown external link as shown in the screenshot below. Despite repeated attempts to resolve the problem through Google Search Console, the unwanted link could not be removed. Over the following two months, the site’s search performance declined rapidly, and pages that were previously indexed were gradually de-indexed, resulting in a complete loss of indexed content by September 2025.
Note: No manual action or security issue was reported in Google Search Console.
After that, I returned to Blogger. I use Blogger because it remains one of the simplest and most reliable blogging platforms for long-term content publishing. It requires minimal setup, offers free hosting with Google’s infrastructure, and integrates seamlessly with essential tools like Google Search Console, AdSense, and Analytics. For writers and tech bloggers who prefer focusing on content rather than constant maintenance, Blogger provides a clean, distraction-free experience while still allowing custom themes, HTML editing, and full ownership of content.
Conclusion
I believe this issue will be resolved soon. At the moment, Blogger continues to work properly on alternative browsers such as Microsoft Edge and Safari, suggesting that the problem is likely limited to Chrome rather than a platform-wide outage.
Despite the availability of many modern blogging platforms, Blogger continues to meet my core needs. Its stability, zero hosting cost, and strong Google ecosystem support make it a practical choice for consistent publishing. While it may lack frequent feature updates, Blogger remains a dependable platform for bloggers who value simplicity, control, and long-term reliability over unnecessary complexity.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is Blogger not working on Chrome?
Blogger may face issues on Chrome due to browser cache, outdated extensions, or temporary compatibility glitches. Clearing cache or using another browser can help.
Which browsers currently work with Blogger?
Blogger continues to work reliably on Microsoft Edge and Safari, even if Chrome shows errors or issues with the editor.
Why did my Blogger posts get de-indexed from Google?
De-indexing can happen due to errors on the homepage, unknown links, or crawl issues detected by Google. Algorithmic responses can slowly remove pages from search results.
Can using extensions in Chrome affect Blogger?
Yes, certain Chrome extensions like ad blockers, script blockers, or editor-enhancing tools can interfere with Blogger’s editor or publishing tools.
How can I temporarily fix Blogger issues on Chrome?
You can try clearing cache, disabling extensions, using Incognito mode, switching to HTML editor, or using Edge/Safari until the issue is resolved.
Is this a Blogger-wide problem or just my account?
