how to disable add ons - chrome

I have uninstalled and reinstalled but the circle keeps spinning. It is spinning on both http://edition.cnn.com/ as well as https://www.washingtonpost.com/ In order to reach computing.net/answers - I had to use Safari because I had uninstalled chrome. At that time I was notified that the flash player for Safari was out of date. I updated that. I disabled all the google extensions on chrome as well. Nothing seems to work. Thanks for your help.
