When I tried to create a new python3 notebook on google colab, it returns the error message:

Colab fail to load Error loading https://apis.google.com/js/client.js Error: Error loading https://apis.google.com/js/client.js at HTMLScriptElement.k.onerror (https://colab.research.google.com/v2/external/gapi_loader.js:9:415)

I tried to reinstall chrome and close all ad-block extensions, but none of these seem to work. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Quoting a related GitHub issue --

A common cause of this error is Chrome extensions which block access to the https://apis.google.com/js/client.js library.

I'd recommend trying to load the page in an incognito window with all extensions disabled. If the problem vanishes, it's likely that you'll need to whitelist the colab.research.google.com hostname in one of your extensions which blocks resource fetches.
