Browser Change From Firefox?
USCBass

Posted on 05/30/2014 11:24:40 AM PDT by UScbass

Have been using the Firefox browser since it was introduced; with all the controversies (political), it has been suggested that I change to Chrome (Google), Safari (Apple), or Opera browser. Any suggestions as to whether a change is recommended and, if so, to what?

I really don’t see the political difference between the liberals at Microsoft, Google and the liberals at Firefox.

Just use the best browser for you and be done with it.

I ditched Firefox for a few weeks, but went back.

All the major browsers are owned by Lefties anyway.

When at home on my (one of many) Apple machines, Safari is fine.

I also ditched Firefox on both my office and all home machines following their recent bending over to accept gay attitudes. (Double entendre most definitely intended.)

I’m just trying out Opera and it also appears to work quite well (for what I use it for). It was easy to download and worked well right out of the box.

It is a fork of Firefox, since its open source anyone can take it and change it and offer it up as a new thing. Pale Moon also does not benefit Google.

Opera is good. Downloaded Pale Moon, but have not used it much. Nothing even remotely Google-ish on anything here.

Thought Netscape WAS Firefox, more or less.

I like chrome for speed and features. I really don’t like google, but imho, they have the best browser.

On Chrome it’s advisable to download a few add-ons that clear your cache and history. Chrome will track you. You have to manually clear the cache after a while.

I believe Startpage is the lease NSA friendly of the common browsers.

Wget. You use it to download web pages so you can view them offline
