Title: Browser-Which One Do You Like Best?
Post by: Scoobum on August 22 2017, 06:36:10 PM: Getting tired on this one on Windows...what ever the hell version I have...prolly 10. Pick a Browser for me...and make it something easy to use.

I've been looking at eBay and they have some nifty units with window 7professional. The one in wanting has 8gb ram, 160gb hd and the windows 7 pro for $125 shipped to the house. These are corporate lease returns.

I held on to XP until microsoft stopped supporting it. Win7 pro is where I'm at now. 8 and 10 can suck it. I don't need a phone OS on my computers.

Post by: Steve Wood on August 22 2017, 11:20:13 PM: I never did like firefox...been using Chrome for a long time now. I liked Win7 and I don't have a problem with Win10. I ignore the app side of it and use it like Win7. I skipped 8 because I got tired of trying to help other people use it. the best part of 10 is that it boots really quickly

Post by: nocooler on August 23 2017, 06:30:21 PM: I used Firefox for a long time and then gave in and switched to chrome. Brad make sure to install Adblock plus extension - makes the web a much nicer place. Chrome has the advantage of flash being integrated and updated automatically.

Same here! XP was great but glad I went to Win7 before everyone started getting hacked. :cheers:

Post by: earlbrown on August 23 2017, 08:53:08 PM: I gave up on AdBlock Plus a couple years ago. It was slowing down my computer too much. uBlock seems to work pretty good for me.

it even lets me get away with blocking scripts and ads on the other board :D
