Browsers

[Surface Tension]

Been using Mozilla for years and noticed over time its slow to load and has turned into a resource hog. The skipping and lag while watching videos online was the last straw.

Yes I went into tools and turned off all non essential plugins to try and find where the culprit was. None of which made a difference. IMO the suggestions from Mozilla to fix the problem is more of a smoke and mirrors cover up. I switched to Mozilla many years ago because it was a no frills browser but mostly because it was open source. Just seems with every update its become even more bloated. Giving Chrome a try.

I've been using Chrome since it was available and like it.

Did you make sure your machine is clean of spyware/malware? I still run Spybot Search and Destroy on a periodic basis and that seems to help keep things speedy.

I'm surprised LMIT uses Chrome given the amount of spying that Google does on its customers.

[LMITOUT]

Google isn't who you should be worried about. I think we found that out a few months ago.

I also use Chrome and like it a lot. I use Firefox about 25% of the time because of the SEO plugins that are available.

Just about anything but Internet Explorer.

Chrome or Opera both work well and are pretty good about tying up resources.

Chrome. I have no worries about google spying. My life is boring.

Probably has something to do with the new update sent out around the same time. You may want to try reinstalling and see if it's fixed.

IE works as good or better than the others for me.

Chrome is one of the fastest full version browsers you'll find, it's one of my favorites as well.

Firefox is good but a little slower, however there is a stripped down version named K-Meleon that is quite fast.

IE keeps getting better with each version change, it's been around forever and out of the box is one of the best at thwarting off malware attacks.

I used FF for a few years a while back and began to experience the same problem. I switched to Chrome and haven't turned back.

+1 on chrome. Malwarebytes is another nice clean up program
