Nope, mine works fine. But I’m also on Linux instead of buggy Win10.

How do you know Win10 is buggy if you don't use it?

I DID (past tense) use Win10. It got slower and slower. I did virus scans and other things and finally gave up.My Linux is just as fast now as the day I installed it.

Reboot and clear the cache.

Also:

Having said that G Mail has been experiencing problems with their new system.

I have had the problems with our pure Chrome Books, Smart Phones and Fire Tabs.

Mine is fine on Windows 8.

I’ve had Vivaldi for the past 6-8mos, but preferred Opera and it’s Speed Dial feature. Sold to ChiComms?! Damn!

Any experience with Pale Moon?

I’ve just d/l’d Vivaldi and will set it up.

BTW, Vivaldi is my favorite composer.

Vivaldi has something they call speed dial, which is a way to get to favorite sites when you open a new tab.

I have no experience with Pale Moon.

Also, on Opera, they are now owned by Qihoo 360.

Nope. No crashes.

Been happening off and on for several weeks. Crashed once this morning. I find certain news websites set it off—too much content and ads?

My Brave has been bugging me for a week or so to upgrade. I’m too smart to do that.

I use Win10, and other than the update problems that MS has introduced and fixed themselves, Win10 works perfectly for me. And, I'm pretty sure it works perfectly for the 700 million plus who have upgraded to it.

I've tried to use Linux, different versions, and NONE of them satisfy me, and are nowhere close to the capabilities of Windows (any version) and Linux is still lacking in the number of applications which most people use most. Browsing? Well, even Android and iOS are capable of rendering Web pages, but, the experiences are not the same.

Furthermore, Linux (whatever distro) is NEVER going to replace Windows for the vast majority of PC users. Linux will forever remain in the less than 2% usage by PC owners. That's been the case for over 20 years, and nothing changes.

And, as has been demonstrated, most PC/Windows problems have been in the driver/components area, which is not the responsibility of Windows/MS to fix; that's been my experience too with 3rd party hardware and 3rd party software/applications.

Do I sound like a Windows fanatic? Nope. I just use what works and works best for everything I do and which is easily understood by about 95% of PC users and software writers.

I'm not going to try to change your mind, but, I would not go around bashing something which I don't use or like. The whole world uses and understands Windows, businesses and regular consumers alike. There will always be those that find problems with ANYTHING, but, they deal with those problems and move on to whatever works for them.

Just switched to Chrome today on my Android device......Brave is my first choice but it was using ungodly amounts of data for some unknown reason. Switched to Chrome today and data usage was back to normal. Weird. Now searching for a non-Google alternative other than Brave that minimizes data usage.

I just upgraded my Brave and couldn’t be happier.

Loads faster, and doesn’t hang as much.

YMMV
