If all you want to do is do a little surfing, check email. etc. then most any browser will do. But for serious research, multiple forum threads and profiles, only browsers of the Firefox family will do, but NOT Firefox Quantum, which is basically a different animal. Chrome will not even allow multiple tab rows, or (last i checked) changing the ctrl+tab switch.
All I know is Firefox is (compared to Chrome) S-L-O-O-O-W and a memory hog.
That’s all the evidence I need to NOT use a slow, bloated browser.
