Guest StonerCol Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Can anyone recommend a browser that isn't IE or Chrome that isn't actually shit? Getting fucked off with Chrome - I have to keep resetting the settings, disabling add-ons and it is pissing me off. I've got a 64-bit laptop and was thinking of trying Firefox. Is it better/more stable than Chrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) OMG! @@distracted @@Joolz ., you've just made my year! I've been pulling my hair out using IOS and chrome / safari trying to post pictures and failing. Resorting to inserting pic image via pc. Firefox, private mode, request desktop site and full access to the browser tools...aww man that makes me happy!

muffintop Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Yep, Chrome is proper wanky piss. I avoid anything google related if possible and also use Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest StonerCol Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 All sorted! Firefox...it's as if someone wanted to create a product that customers like, rather than one the creators like and screw the customer!

Bird Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It took me a long time to even consider chrome. I cant say I would recommend it but there are a few things it will do that other browsers wont. I followed a long and detailed guide on how to maximise privacy but cant find it again for the life of me. The bookmark system sucks. There is the non-google version of chrome in linux but I dont have much experience with it. Firefox is tops but I use all three for different tasks.

Guest StonerCol Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 IMHO The best part of Chrome is when you uninstall it and get asked to give a reason why. It's like a free pass to use all the foul language you can muster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
