    Default What browser do you use?

    I have used Firefox for years. I like the way it uses add-ons to do al sorts of things like manage cookies, block pop-ups and control Flash.
    But after the last update or two, several websites I use a lot, like Facebook won't load right. I get some of the site, but it is unresponsive to any clicking.

    So if i have to go to another browser, which one should I go with?

    Windows 10 only.


    BTW, of course i meant "browser" but you can't edit titles.

    I use Firefox and haven't had any problems with any website, including Facebook. You might want to try disabling the add-ons and seeing if any of them are causing the problem.

    Tried other browsers and I still prefer Firefox.

    I tried to run it in safe mode, without add-ons. Problem persisted. I'll dig a little deeper. maybe a javascript thing.

    google-chrome-stable running on Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon.

    But store bought is fine.

    P.S. Chrome really is great, but you're gonna need a lot of RAM, 'cuz damn.

    Isn't Pale Moon based around Firefox? I wonder if it does the same thing.

    I prefer firefox for the ease of saved passwords, a couple of clicks and see all my saved passwords. any other browser do that, I made the mistake of trying Edge a few weeks ago when I had a problem with add on's in firefox, but missed being able to see the saved info. Also there is a shared login for firefox that let's me share the saved settings across more than one item, phone laptop computer.

    I like firefox for those reasons as well. But now Facebook and a few other sites won't respond on firefox.

    my problem from a few weeks ago was my Virus software decided real time protection meant blocking Firefox and Chrome from the internet, Edge and IE worked fine.
    I use Malwarbytes
