Chrome downloads index file instead of opening websites - Fix

As the popularity of Google chrome browser increases day by day, many internet users now migrating to chrome browser because it is simple, fast and safe. The problem I'm going to share you is a strange one. When you opens up some websites like yahoo answers, or ebay, no page is displayed but a file named "index" or "download" with no extension sizes a few kb will be downloaded. When you opens some certain other websites, it'll show only gibberish text. If this is your problem, then I have a solution for you(only one..).

This problem is actually not caused by Google chrome but Internet Download Manager(IDM). When you have IDM installed in your system with advanced browser integration turned on for chrome, IDM caches the request to download the web page as a file download. 




Anyway, to get rid of this annoying issue, open IDM goto downloads > Options > General , look for google chrome in advanced browser integration section and uncheck it. Also uncheck detect new applications that try to download files from internet. Reboot if required. Done!
