finally switched from firefox browser to chrome.  i tried to stay with it, despite the regular 'updates' which lost all my cuuustomisations  and despite them 'fixing' with the layout which wasn't broken.  final straw was script errors with firefox on ebay causing hangs. aded the 'no script' add on but at the cost of disabling all scripts on all pages which is a pain to  administer.  i did try my best to stick with it

I hate the way firefox have blocked vidios from running

what i thought i'd miss is the shortcut option - in firefox you could allocate a search box on a webpage to a letter eg I allocated wikipedias search box to w, so just typing "w vauxhall" in firefox's address bar would take you straight to the wikipedia page for vauxhall.

however chrome seems to have imported it, along with all my history and bookmarks

There are a few scripting that they call unique features nasties that can catch out the unwary if they only check code compatibily on Chrome and IE which maybe the problem on Ebay. Firefox only have about 1% of the browser market share these days so it is considered a minor browser in most peoples eyes. Chrome has about 70% of the market.

Chrome is ok but I stopped using it for some reason some time ago.

Just started using IE like the good old days and dont bother with any other, always uncheck the chrome adware when installing drivers

I will probably remember in a week why I stopped using it too

Funny how Chrome evaporates from the memory; I used it a while ago, and rhen stopped. Like you, I cannot for the life of me recall why!

Any attempts to block ads on some sites using the various script and ad blockers normally ends up nuking the browser. Sadly, it seems to be the case now, just say sod it, and see the ads, particularly if you have a reasonably quick PC. 

egay is one of the worst offenders, so I find the easy solution is not to use egay. Ever.


Certainly a better prospect than running Chrome on any non-Google OS.

I was going to say. If I was ever faced with a choice between using Chrome and giving up the www....

I use UC Browser, mainley because of the Download Utilitys as I can send my Download straight to the Cloud without actually downloading. Its a Chrome type engine but must admit the No Adds abd Pop Filters work well. Otber than that I use Edge.
