Problems opening sites in Chrome, Err_Connection_Reset error solution

Chrome is the most popular and most used browser in the world, but it is not free of bugs or errors and it is possible to meet different types of it while browsing the internet. One of the most common is that of a site that does not open, showing a page with " Site can't be reached " or Site not available and then below, as a description of the error: Err_Connection_Reset .
" Err_connection_reset ", as well as other similar types of errors such as ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED or even ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED, means that Chrome cannot create a connection with the site, due to a problem on the internet. Sometimes the problem is temporary, other times it often recurs. For example, on smartphones this type of Chrome error appears when you try to open a site during the transition from a wifi connection to a data connection or vice versa, when the device is changing the connection network.
If this is not the case, then there is a problem with the internet connection or with the network configuration on the computer or with Chrome itself.
