I run Pale Moon which is basically a modded version of Firefox. Every few months I try running Chrome but I always find something it can't do that I need it to so I'm back to Pale Moon.
When I updated to FF 15 this week, I guess it was Flash that stopped working because I had trouble accessing my baseball sites. Is there a way to stop the updates from automatically taking place so I can just stick with the version that is working?
Are we talking about web browsers here? That thing that runs in the background while I surf the web? Is someone seriously suggesting that I'm missing something because I'm using the "wrong" web browser? Or are we just splitting hairs over some performance benchmark dreamed up by someone's marketing team?
Please, enlighten me as to why I need to spend any time at all switching to any other browser than the one I'm currently using (Firefox. obviously). I'm not a fanboy - just lazy! I need a good reason!
I'm more than happy to use Firefox or 2 tin cans and a length of string. Whatever works.
But FF is become increasing annoying--particularly in the add-ons. I use as few as possible. I've turned off all updates for the last 6 plus months, but still have occasional add-on grief.
So, I'm considering a non-add-on browser that provides basic functionality, decent security, and damn little else.
I have not looked at IE in several years.
I looked at Chrome 2 or 3 years ago and was not amused. And I'd prefer not to enable or encourage Google to continue with its plans for World Domination.
So, in reality, it's probably FF or IE.
