Another reason to use Firefox.

Firefox updated something and my Ad Blocker no longer blocks ads on some video sites.

My Chrome browser has auto-update disabled. In fact, everything on my PC has auto-update turned off.

Lynx is a nifty one to try.

I wouldn’t touch Chrome with a ten-foot toilet plunger.

I will only use IXQ. No cookies, nor recording/tracking your IP. Calls itself “the most private. Check it out. It searches the other browsers, but doesn’t let them know it’s you. Go to their page and click to read their privacy policies;

Its cousin Chromium seems to be okay though

I can bypass paywalls by right-clicking on an article’s title and searching on Google. Maybe you can do that on any browser. Chrome is great for ease of use.

I stopped taking automatic Adobe updates to Acrobat, etc. because they loaded Chrome and some other crap on my browser menu bar, and many Office one-click on the file stuff quit working - Excel most notably.
Had to go to MS to get a cleaner for it.
I would not have Chrome or any other AP that Google makes; they are NSA’s fool tool.

In Internet Explorer, highlight the text, right click on the highlight, then choose the accelerator to search with Google, Bing, or whatever your search engine of choice is.

Chrome came in with a Google Earth download/ install, and took over my computer, changing prefs, desktop etc. I ripped the uninvited bitch out root & trunk, but eveytime I used GE, it came back. Chrome seemed like a nice browser, but had very bad manners. Got rid of GE now, too. Same reason I never use IE; it’s there, and part of the OS, but doesn’t get used.

Another reason to use Firefox. Thanks be to God. Only one i can get multiple rows and reduce tab width, and color them, and save multiple sessons, and use Select source to copy selection in html, etc.
