    Re: QOTW: Which web browser do you prefer?

    Safari. It’s the default. I occasionally use chrome when I get the odd site that doesn’t behave properly with Safari, but they are rare.

    Re: QOTW: Which web browser do you prefer?

    I use Opera. I like its ease of organising bookmarks and fast dial. Not a great fan of Vivaldi. No sync account and I lost some data as the browser refused to update. Appears clunky. I do have firefox and opera on my PC but rarely used them.

    Not sure I would touch Palemoon and other software like it. Sure, it is great for privacy. However, it becomes a security risk because their small development team aren't able to update security patches in quick time.

    Re: QOTW: Which web browser do you prefer?

    I use firefox for most things, but I have found that a lot of job application websites etc use a mixture of flash and java, and the only browser that seems to not have any issues with these is internet explorer, how ironic.

    Opera, Firefox, & Avant browser. Uninstalled Chrome, it kept messing with my registry, causing Avant Browser add-ons to malfunction. Opera is the best, nice interface, smooth and quick.

    Re: QOTW: Which web browser do you prefer?

    Firefox quantum for me as it seemed a bit faster than chrome when I first changed over.

    Re: QOTW: Which web browser do you prefer?

    firefox, but I've yet to try v60 which apparently has some tedious stuff built into it. I downloaded opera but didn't really get on with it. Haven't used ie in years and don't particulalry enjoy edge on win10. My wife swears by Chrome but I just don't like giving google more information than it already has on me. Using an android phone, it gets most of that anyway tbh.

    While some projects can belong to that category, I can safely say that Pale Moon not only is always up to date in terms of security patchres but even implements them prior to big players like Firefox, so let's not generalize things without knowledge of the fact.

    I still use Firefox 99% of the time. The last time I tried Chrome it was buggy, bland, and far too simplified. It might be better now, but I can't be bothered to try it again considering I didn't like it the first time.

    Re: QOTW: Which web browser do you prefer?

    Firefox. Its performance has over taken my old IE browser on Win7.
    Chrome sabotages hyperlinks in word documents so that was a definite no.

    Opera, because it works.

    I used to run Firefox and I keep trying it every few months, but it still leaks memory like a bloody sieve.

    Re: QOTW: Which web browser do you prefer?

    Firefox 64bit ESR. Runs like a charm for me, though it has a strange bug where sometimes it will refuse to open a new window, even if I end all running processes. That's across all my desktops.

    Mobile, I still use Chrome. I don't trust Firefox to be anything other than battery flattening, and I wouldn't use much else.

    Re: QOTW: Which web browser do you prefer?

    Firefox because of the killer feature of remembering tabs WITHOUT having to load every single one of them and use up 8GB of RAM. Tabs only load when you switch to them. I got fed up of waiting for chrome to implement it.
