annoying Microsoft pop-ups

Hello Keith I am not entirely sure of what it is you are experiencing but I have given up on IE Edge Chrome etc even using Ad Blocker plus because of the annoying pop ups and ads.

If you want to try something I now have on all of my machines try this https://cyberfox.8pecxstudios.com/ it will carry over your favourites etc and is based on Firefox but is in my mind better. You can alwasy uninstall it if you are unhappy with it after all is said and done. There is another called Waterfox again loosely based on FF but I tried it but the Cyberfox is the better of the two and unless the other browsers get their act together and make something useful i am staying with CF.

Oh if you do try it them make sure you pick the version for the CPU/motherboard you have as it comes in Intel x64 Intel x86 AMD x64 and AMD x86 it really is only cosmetic as far asI know but have a look no harm in that eh?

what makes Cyberfox better than Firefox? Their website isn't exactly a fount of information.

Well Jeannie I don't know if you have ever tried it but I find it easier and faster no other reason, it was just a suggestion for Keith.

Keith mate I always used to check out the options like always allow because if it was site I used a lot that is what I would do - if that is what you want do that and yes I know it is annoying and I cannot see the point of the pop up to be honest.

Probably not Keith and like I said I went over to another browser because all the main ones were irritating the living heck out of me one way or a another.

To be honest I am working off a 10 machine out of necessity but prefer 7 but either way it seems to me at least that Microsoft are after taking control of your computer if you use one of their browsers and Google are up there with them for doing this sort of stuff. Now while I agree that some of the control and that pop up in IE's instance is probably there to safeguard you from accessing a site for example by accident I think that unless one is exceedingly careless I for one don't need that annoying "baby sitting"

I saw the comment re FF and it is ok in my mind but sluggish and it is just be chance a good friend of mine stumbled across CF and WF we have both been using it now for two months and have yet to fault it. My only criticism is that it is laggy in Windows 10 in starting up from the taskbar in 7 it is fine.

I might add that I have no interests in any way of promoting CF or any other particular piece of software for that matter it was just a suggestion for you to try and as I said you can always uninstall it and go back to IE or whatever you prefer should you not like it. It cost nothing to try Cyberfox or Waterfox or Firefox but I will say that until it proves to be a dead loss I am staying with CF.

John, I hope you didn't misunderstand me when I asked what made Cyberfox better than Firefox. I did not intend to put you or the program down. Since the Cyberfox website doesn't tell me much about it, I was hoping you could; basically, what is it about Cyberfox you like better than Firefox? You mentioned faster and easier. Easier in what way? Anything else?

At least I didn't suggest it was because the name didn't start with an "F", like Firefox and one of those words my Mama "told" me not to use.

Hmm well Jeannie perhaps it was just me but on my machine s I just found Firefox a bit lethargic and I tried Cyberfox because my friend said how good she found it.

I was using Edge at the time because of Chrome was playing up but when I went to Edge (I am using my 10 laptop right now for most stuff but seriously thinking of putting 7 back on) and it was just getting on my nerves also in how it was going or not.
Now I have Cyberfox I get straight to the point no ads pop ups and just generally find it more user friendly.

Now apparently they are still working on it and unless they wreck it then I am staying with it. So really I suppose it is a matter of personal choice if you find Firefox ok then all well and good it was as I said just a suggestion for the OP.
