Create New Python 3 notebook in Colaboratory Fails with error message

Question

I have recently started to use Colaboratory and I am trying to create a new notebook.

But when I try to Open new notebook (New Python 3 notebook) if fails with this error message:

Notebook loading error There was an error loading this notebook. Ensure that the file is accessible and try again. https://drive.google.com/drive/?action=locate&id=1Hfx8Cl68kYnKZu90U5TADO0XqKsBq_fw&authuser=0 [object Object] Error: [object Object] at d (https://colab.research.google.com/v2/external/external_polymer_binary.js?vrz=colab_20180222_085323-RC01_186629092:1135:347) at Object.next (https://colab.research.google.com/v2/external/external_polymer_binary.js?vrz=colab_20180222_085323-RC01_186629092:1135:493) at b (https://colab.research.google.com/v2/external/external_polymer_binary.js?vrz=colab_20180222_085323-RC01_186629092:522:42) at

I saved a copy of the Welcome to Colaboratory notebook to my Google Drive. When I try to Open Drive notebook, and select the notebook copy it crashes with the same error message above.

What else can I try to create a new notebook?

Thanks

pause your adblock extension for the colab page and it will work. Ad blocks may block some js file
