What browser do you use?

[CrippsCorner]

I've been a Chrome guy since the day it was released, but recently it's been running like s**t... I could take the lagging (just about) but now it just stops completely. I cannot scroll with the touchpad or touchscreen, and have to drag the scroll bar down with the cursor which is just terrible. This is happening a couple of times a day and it's so annoying!

Decided to give Edge another go, which is better, but it has problems too. Still get some lag with scrolling but sometimes typing can take seconds to load up!? Rubbish.

Tried Firefox again recently but don't like that at all. I quite like Opera to be honest, might have to give that a longer trial. Just wondering if there's anything else I'm missing? I've heard of Vivaldi too, is it worth a try?

Ta.

What device are you browsing on?

 

[Typhoon]

Firefox. Resource heavy tho so probably wouldn’t solve your issues.

Ungoogled chromium purely for the security

 

[Mavez]

Mostly Firefox, sometimes epiphany.

On an actual computer, firefox

Firefox, have you tried flushing your mem caches?

Safari.

Chrome on my phone & a computer. Safari on my ipad. Not had a problem with either.

Chrome on my phone and computer, no issues for me.

I'm on a Surface Pro. I actually find it to be more sluggish sometimes, than the 4 year old one it replaced!

Surface Pros tend to struggle with most things, but Firefox is usually a solid bet

Brave.

Brave is the new adblocking web browser from Mozilla co-founder and Javascript author Brendan Eich. Created to give you the fastest internet browsing experience while providing a deep level of protection.

Chromium based, but chops out almost all advertising by design, rather than plugin.

I only converted about 3 months ago, and it gives you handy stats, like the attached.

Also, has 'TOR window' mode, so you it fires up a TOR protected tab as and when you need it.

It's chrome, but made awesome.

Chrome.

Like the idea of Chromium though.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Edge Chromium builds started coming out today, but only for Microsoft employees (and people with Azure) definitely interested in trying that out, hope it's basically Chrome with Edge's speed!

 

[SharkyUK]

Yup, Microsoft are moving over to Chromium internals for their Edge browser. A few teething issues and problems (to be expected) but I think it's a good move personally.

Only kidding
