I'm currently using Windows 10 which doesn't appear to work seamlessly with Firefox . I'm looking for recommendations to use with W10 .

What you using ?

[Beobloke]

Firefox. With Windows 10!

I've just gone to opera, Firefox had become slow and Chrome was getting flaky.

That's been kinda my experience Malcolm .

Another vote for Opera - fast, stable and secure in its current iteration.

[Light Dependant Resistor]

Also a vote for Opera, :)

'Vivaldi' is a relatively new web browser which I'm trying out on Windows 7 at the moment. I rather like it, the ability to open new tabs directly by clicking on sites saved in the favourites bar is very useful. It's one of only two browsers I'm aware of that do this, Maxthon being the other.

I'm sure Vivaldi would be just fine on Windows 10.

You can run as many browsers at the same time as you like on your computer. Try several and keep the one (ones) you like best.

[brian2957]

Thanks Geoff . I wasn't sure if you could do that :)

Another alternative is Brave. However I’ve not used in on W10.

[brian2957]

Thanks I'll have a look at all these options .

[Marco]

Chrome, Safari and Firefox, for me, none of which are flaky on proper computers, like Macs!:ner:;)

Windoze is for daftees...

Marco.

[brian2957]

Can't afford a Mac . I'm not rich like you :ner:

[walpurgis]

Not directly related, but I keep a copy of 'Iron Portable' browser on a memory stick, just in case I have issues with other browsers. It's come in handy when playing around with Windows XP for instance, as the included Internet Explorer (7?) is obsolete and defunct, leaving you with no means of getting on the interent to download a browser that works.

[brian2957]

That's interesting Geoff . I will have a look at that . Wish I still had XP , or W7 for that matter :)

[Marco]

Lol... Sell a few cables mate, and you'll be laughing!:D

Marco.Nah they're both for daftees , Linux rules...I only keep a W10 to run a few particular programs.

[brian2957]

Marco.

Hah ..more than a few I think :)

[struth]

Is it better than Velux (windows)?

Marco.

[willbewill]

Marco.Hahaha...it absolutely flies, only thing I don't like is its samba sharing.

+1

I believe that Vivaldi was composed (lol) by some software writers that left Opera.

[spendorman]

Just checked. on my Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB installation, I have Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Vivaldi, all work fine.

However, I don't use Google as a search engine, generally use Duckduckgo.com

[MikeMusic]

Chrome on W10 laptop and W7 desktop
Have used it for years

[brian2957]

Thanks Mike .

[mad-moon]

+1 for Win 10 and Chrome..no issues at all...I can even get on AOS.....

P.S. I wouldn't have a mac given...Apple are greedy thieving robbing bastards....

[Beobloke]

Meh. Macs are for hipster douchebags...

;)

Safari on a MacBook Pro, being a hipster douchebag.
