Goodbye Chrome

[SoonOh]

 

I just lost all settings, extensions and bookmarks. I uninstalled Chrome for the last time. I will not download it again. .

Yes, I use Fiefox, Firefox Focus, Opera and Brave+DuckDuckGo

How about you?

I moved this from General Topics to IT and Computers.

I work in China so Chrome is not much use, except to use translate on TaoBao. I mainly use Opera, mainly because I can spoof the built-in VPN. I've heard good things about the new Edge browser... ????

[hereforgood]

Opera on Desktop Laptop Android Mobile Phone and Tablet all Sync with each device works great for me. 

[Daffy D]

I moved from Chrome back to the New Edge

 

Great improvement on the old Edge and not so intrusive as Chrome, and as a bonus you can get AdGuard free from the M$ Store.

I can't do that it has my passwords ????  and I don't have any problem with Google chrome.

[canuckamuck]

 I have been happy with Brave

 

[Tayaout]

I use Chrome for day to day use.

 

Firefox Develloper Edition for dev and troubleshooting stuff. 

 

Brave on mobile because it works very well against intrusive adds. 

[VocalNeal]

I use SRIron which is Chrome based and duck,duck, go as search.

I use Chrome partly for that reason (synching) on the same range of devices and because Chrome, being Google, interacts well with Android.

Do you find Opera syncs better than Chrome, then?

My experience with early versions of Opera was not positive and I haven't tried it since.

Well you can import/export passwords between browsers, but I also don't have any problems with Chrome

[Lacessit]

Firefox has always worked for me. I have Chrome as alternate browser for rare occasions.

Windows 7 user, with Windows Edge (it is great), was on I.E.11 and a small amount on Google Chrome as did not like that, but had to, due to the fact that True could not show me "logged in" with I.E.11.

 

Win ????

Are you aware that Microsoft withdrew support/ updates for Windows 7 on the 14th of January ? I think you need to upgrade.

[lopburi3]

For those not aware the new Windows Edge (Version 79.0.309.71) is Chrome based and works great with easy conversion from Chrome.

[Stocky]

Brave + DuckDuckGo

My phone is Android and my tablet, when my laptop died I replaced it with a cheap Chromebook but I almost never use it.Use a Chromecast audio connected to my amp for Spotify and radio.

I'm ok with it but then I don't have any use nowadays for lots of different passwords for general use I use one password and it's a good one.

That is not really a good idea as all it would take is one account password being found and they would have access to everything.  As good as the password may be will not help if any account becomes compromised (and that happens all too often if the real world).  

[Tropicalevo]

I have used Firefox since Noah was a boy. Never any problems. Now I use with Adblock and Adblock plus- I never see any adverts.

Windows 7 doesn't get as many hackers now as so many people have changed their systems. Windows 7 is stable and I have some programs that can't run on windows 10.

[Tuvoc]

I have used Edge ever since it came out, and now the new Chromium based Edge.

Just FYI....you can probably run your Win 7 programs on Win 10 in compatibility mode

To be technical, the new Windows Edge is Chromium based.  Both Edge and Chrome are Chromium-based browsers, as are several others.  I use Comodo Dragon, another Chromium-based browser.

Chrome, and Tor with DuckDuckGo. And Expres VPN with both.

[Jaggg88]

Brave as it has built in ad blocker and TOR option. I use DuckDuckGo search for privacy.

How about you?

Don't you not sync your Google Chrome account? All your settings and bookmarks would be saved on the cloud and instantly available.

Chrome or Brave. Anything else is just LOL
