On the surface, after the weekend, I’d say you’re right.

However, when I think about it, my well known, naturally suspicious mind, (when it comes to Microsoft), comes to the fore.

You see a few of us gathered to watch the All Blacks – Ireland match on SkyGO.

However, nothing we did could make it work. It loaded OK but the Video just sat blank with the old recirculating arrow nonsense.

In the end I suggested we try the Edge Browser which was the only other one he had and was of course a part if Win10.

Perfect, worked a charm.

So when I went home I loaded SkyGO from the same address via Firefox & Linux Mint and it too worked perfectly.

Sooooo, my naturally suspicious mind asks whether Microsoft are trying to sabotage Firefox, via Win10, to force one onto Edge and all its peripherals?

Food for thought by others than the “Microsoft Missionary’s”. :D

Hope you had a better outcome (enjoyment wise) than the game, didn't watch it, but heard several reports saying they were almost looking very tired and not really giving it their all.

Anyhows, Firefox is slipping quite a bit (or should that be falling). Chrome is jumping ahead in leaps and Bounds if you go by the stats: www.stetic.com

As for MS taking over the browsers, there have been quite a few times Edge wont work on some sites where as FF or Chrome will, but then again had pages not load in FF yet Edge does - so guess its swings & round abouts.

As for The Firefox Browser not working on your mates Computer, could be something as simple as a plugin not working or even installed.

Skygo's site offers suggestions: skytv.custhelp.com

Yes we went through SkyGO's suggestions to no avail, but it did introduce a 3rd party in adobe flash.

I know adobe flash is supposed to be extinct, but there is an awful lot of sites still using it with some of them being multi-nationals.

1455193 2018-11-19 18:11:00 Yes it annoys me that so many big sites still use Flash, makes you wonder how the golden goose that is Crapple get on since they don't allow Flash on their toys. gary67 (56)
1455194 2018-11-19 19:43:00 My Chrome was playing up recently so as an experiment I disabled my adblocker and problem solved. Enabled it again and still no problem, weird but it's working so I'm happy.
Point being it's not necessarily the browser itself causing issues, might be an addon/plug-in but I guess that grounds been covered already.

I've been tempted to give Edge another go but past experience puts me off.

1455195 2018-11-19 22:03:00 I mostly use Chrome without any issues but I find that I am using Edge quite a bit lately and also without problems. FF I dropped some time ago life is to short to put up with it for long. CliveM (6007)
