1444147 2017-12-31 03:17:00 I've only recently moved to Chrome from Firefox due to multiple performance issues. Not sure if I will stay with Chrome. It has a few annoying "features" I don't like, for example the right click search option when I highlight an IP address to search it, it tries to load that IP address instead of Google searching. Firefox never did that. Jen (38)
1444148 2017-12-31 18:35:00 Yes I tried Chrome for two weeks.
But I do not really like it, I don't know why, but the screen just looks too bare.
And I don't like the way it handles going from one tab to another (can't pin point it)
Quantum is definitely fast and hardly ever crashes like Firefox used to.
I just need to get more RAM on one of my machines (only 4 gig)

Also I kind of like supporting the "underdog" and from what I know of Google. Their motto used to be do no evil. And they used to be the best search engine.
Now all they do is show you the best site to buy the item you searched for, even if you don't want to buy one!
They are just an big advertising company.

1444149 2017-12-31 22:36:00 Still firmly on Firefox having stuck with it pretty much from the beginning.

I'm the only one at work who uses it so that's an advantage as we can test the website on more than just Chrome initially.

What ads ? Never see any ads from anywhere, especially nothing from Google, still I'm glad I suppose that some see them, it helps subsidise my addless browsing. :clap :devil

Good skills
I wish the Herald would do that.
Their print button at the bottom of all their articles only prints the first page with FF.
