It updated without my realizing until I saw the color scheme and lots of my add-ons were no longer hlthe2b Nov 2017 #5
I tried it and rolled back. I use several "legacy" add-ons that are no longer supported. Eugene Nov 2017 #6

I hate when I update and I can't find stuff. Like my favorites or bookmarks.

working. I got a lot of the "look" close to the way I had it before, but not all. For a while, I was getting security certificate errors with DU and it wouldn't load. As I was trying to figure out what to do, I had to leave for an appointment and when I got back, it was working again.

It does seem fast, though.

It looks interesting, but I'll try it on another PC.

I'm going to try it on a desktop that rarely gets used and see what it looks like. Thanks for the idea.

I have only one special add on, an ad blocker. It is working. Bookmarks, saved username and passwords seem OK. Seems a bit faster, but not significantly so.

I have an ad block but I think that's about it other than the ones they load automatically.

It's really fast and it kept my add-ons, of which I have few though (Ghostery, Form Control). As usual, mileage may vary.

It was briefly installed on my old Windows 7 computer and it seemed like it was doing well on that machine too.

I use very few plug-ins, so I am not sure which plug-ins are in need of upgrades, but those needing upgrades were in need back in version 56.
