but I got fed up with the frequent updates to a new version so often when I opened a new browser window. Switched to Chrome about a year ago and have been much more satisfied.

time for it anymore.

The last update was pretty major as far as I can tell, it opens a little slower but the browser is way faster.

I'm running Windows 10.

But still prefer Opera and now Vivaldi. Chrome works, but I just can't sell any more of my soul to Google. I have a couple of others, like Pale Moon and Epic that are useful.

My biggest problem isn't the browser, but these damn websites that keep throwing more and more pages of code and scripts at you....

"Hi! I see you live in East Podunk, and we have a whole list of things you will just love. Wait a sec while we dig up more stuff about you and target a pile of ads, while going through the list oif what Homeland Security wants to know about you."

but I've not tried it. Those are some interesting browsers you mentioned. They are the top ones IMO. Chrome works nicely, very nicely, but anymore I feel a bit uncomfortable, like someone is constantly watching/recording/saving all I do. I also don't believe that deleting history and all is really done. You might not see it anymore, but I bet it's still there someplace on their servers. I think Google has my whole life, I was an early adopter on day one. I like the fact the FF is back in the game with Quantum. Google has done great things, but I do like seeing FF back. That all said, I will still be using Google for many things. And I think FF Quantum as my browser. We'll see if FF Quantum keeps improving.

and gives you updates on how many cookies and inquiries it blocks, it may not be that much better than any others except for hiding your porn searches from your wife. Even with its built-in VPN, I wouldn't plan the revolution with it.

Mozilla has seen the light, though-- the "old" FF used to crash on a regular basis and updates just confused things.

I was very nervous about letting it update. I waited a few weeks.

I had to change a few add-ons, but the new update fixed some problems I was having.

was amazed that the FF Quantum update went so smoothly. What I've really noticed is they got rid of the clutter and made it easier to navigate around. From what I've read it was rebuilt from the ground up! I've used Chrome for my browser for a long time, but always have had FF loaded too.

I have Win 10 on my laptop.

FF kept "freezing" and none of the fixes I found online helped.

I'm now using Chrome and fear going back to FF.

Had to go back and retcon to the last previous version, since they disconnected most of the add-on tools I use regularly with that browser for various work applications.

Had it enabled all my add-ons I might have stayed with it, but I wasn't impressed with the new layout and repositioning of functions, either.

That, must have been frustrating. I didn't have many, since I used FF as a backup to Chrome, so I just added some of the new ones. I didn't even know it had updated. I saw something about release 57 and Quantum, and when I looked my normal updates had already updated FF.
