Browser of choice

Ancel

My browser of choice is Opera. It has perfect design and convenient interface. I mean all the buttons are in the right places and if you do not like it, you can change it however, you like in settings.
There is also a great menu. I have tried using Google Chrome but the start page with bookmarks is terrible and downloading files system seems weird to me.

I've always used Internet Explorer, currently using IE11 with Windows 10, and having problems.


I believe this will be the last edition of IE as Microsoft want users to choose Edge, their latest browser.


However, have read that RoboForm (a passport manager) doesn't work as well with Edge, and looking at Chrome.


Does anyone use RoboForm software with Chrome? Looking at the poll results, it looks like it is a popular browser.

Chrome, with uBlock Origin and Ghostery of course!

The poll so far suggests they are struggling to win converts to it

Interesting; can I ask what they do? I just have adblock (plus?) and comodo's media downloader at present.

First I'd heard of it! I always let the eager-beavers do the company's development testing for them

Not surprised!


None of the previous versions have been so sluggish or unreliable. Am looking at other browsers, and uncertain which to choose!



This thread is great and should help me to choose.

I use Firefox on my laptop (although I don't find it much better than Chrome but greatly preferable to IE) but for my phone and tablet I find Opera is a great option mainly due to the Speed Dial option for my favourite websites. I find that the bookmark option on the mobile version of Chrome much too fiddly when working on a small screen.

I'm a Firefox fan, always used Firefox for as long as I can remember. But on my new(ish) computer Firefox is unstable and freezes/lock's-up a lot. So reluctantly I moved, and tried Vivaldi... brilliant! But it needs some work, so in the future I'll switch to it full time.

Currently on Chrome, with uBlock Origin etc all shields on.

Tried Opera, uninstalled quickly, even with add-ons, the bookmarks system is atrocious, I need functional easy-to-access bookmarks.

Probably unlike anybody else I don't use browser bookmarks at all. I homebrewed my own php/mysql editable home page that holds all my bookmarks under category headings. That way I'm completely platform independent and can get my own favourites on any internet connected device.
