Why is my internet browser blank (on my HTC one m9 plus) ?

[AC Question]

when ever I try to enter a link (and/or any website, web search etc.) I get to a blank web page. only after I return to the previous page and retry accessing the website and loads properly.
what can I do to solve this?

Welcome to Android Central! Which browser are you using? Does this happen on other browsers?

thanks for the quick response!
I am using google chrome, I don't use other browsers. I have a google search widget on my home screen and that is what I use as a default..

Are you entering those links into the Chrome browser's URL bar, or into the Google Search bar widget?
