        I voted for chrome and added Opera to the list (Opera would get my vote if we were talking win2k and older only)

            I think Chrome has potential....but I refuse to use a browser made by a company that got miserably rich off spam....I won't use anything made by them....with the exception of the occasional search of course...

              I concur with the spam part. I don't use gmail because of the high spam amount, but Chrome seems more secure then Firefox in my opinion.

                SRWare Iron (Google Chrome clone that doesn't "phone home") and Waterfox (Firefox in 64Bit, working around the 2GB limitation of 32Bit programs like the regular Firefox).
                Every now and then I use Opera too, even though the default UI is a total pain in the ass.. needs a lot of modding and removing crap to be usable.

                In theory, I should select Chrome or Firefox, but I decided to use "other" instead.

                  you can get alphas of ff 64 bit. I have it on my win7 box. VERY few problems. I actually have MORE problems with ff 12 32 bit on my laptop then ff 15a on my desktop

                    Re: What's your favorite internet browser?

                    If I had to choose one browser for the rest of my life, I think it would be Firefox.

                    It sure has its own set of issues, but it would win on features because the sheer number of add-ons and all manner of customisability.

                    I like being able to change things to exactly how I want them, not how some stupid developer decided I should want them.


                    However, I use all the major browsers fairly equally (and some of the not-so-major) depending on what I feel like at the time, I don't really have an all time favourite. Maybe IE since I've been using it the longest.

                        I had an alpha/nightly build of Firefox destroy my profile once. Never again.

                                      See cappy. Also note multiple, pre-deduped "revisions" of hosts files.

                                      Isn't a hosts file so much better than "loading shit, then hiding shit?" I speak of none other than AdUnBlock Minus.

                                      der Google pays ABP to let certain things through. The sheep will deny this, since someone claims to "do no evil," but the non-sheep see right through the bullshit...

                                        Re: What's your favorite internet browser?

                                        I´m a confessing IE user for more than 15 years.

                                        I see no reason to believe that the Mozilla Foundation or Google is going to spy on me on a smaller scale than Microsoft does. As long as I´m running Windows Microsoft is probably able to spy no matter what browser I´m using.

                                        I didn´t have too many troubles related to security issues of the Internet Explorer.

                                        For browsing "less secure" sites I switch to Debian / Firefox anyway.

                                          Free VPN review of Proton VPN it was working but now it locking up my Safari browser and Duck Duck Go
                                          by sam_sam_sam
                                          Is there a decent VPN out there that is decent and free to use

                                          Because at first I thought that our internet connection was lost yesterday but after doing some troubleshooting I realized that it was the free VPN that I was using it first started with having to do a hard restart of the iPad to receive my emails then sometimes not wanting to load certain websites pages probably then yesterday no internet connection access at all really are you kidding me...

                                          Well first off, Nappy New Year to everyone!

                                          So what's going on?! - How come we don't have an OS thread for this year? Did everyone just move to using phones? Windows 11 killed everything? Or perhaps now that some of us have the Covid vaccines, I guess M$ is already running in our bodies so we don't really need computers anymore, right? (OK, I probably better not open that can of worms here. )

                                          Anyways, ya'll know the drill: vote what OS you're running on your "main" PC.

                                          I know that might be tricky for all of...

                                          Alternative Browsers for older machines
                                          by bigbeark
                                          Firefox just seizes up when I try to play YouTube video on older machines.
                                          I did a search and found a list of the following alternative lightweight browsers: UR Browser,
                                          K-Meleon, Midori, Pale Moon and MaxThon 5.

                                          I have visited all the websites. Midori and Pale Moon are available as binaries in Debian and Ubuntu flavours. Looks like the distro of choice for these is Xubuntu. You use Terminal commands to download the repositories. Has anyone tried this and what was the experience like? Is it likely one can stream HTML5 on 32-bit single core machines like Socket A or dual...

                                          Sharp LC-70LE757U, YouTube/web browser security warning, certificate not trusted
                                          by DXseekerMO
                                          Hello again everyone!

                                          I have a Sharp LC-70LE757U. When I try to sign on to YouTube or access some apps I get a security warning saying "The server www.youtube.com presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted, proceed anyway?" If I proceed this same warning continuously pops up.

                                          If I factory reset the TV sometimes the apps will come up, and sometimes I have to factory reset the TV up to 3 times to get them to work. The apps will then work until the next day and I have to reset the TV again, sometimes up to 3 times to get them to work....
