Hi all,
Have a laptop with windoze 7 home on it,approx 10 months old.Have always run Firefox/Thunderbird on it,but over the last few months it has become a bit problematic.
It tends to freeze more often(both apps) than not and its giving me the ****s.Hardly have any of the apps that you can download to help you clog up your system resources,so its not that.
Have regular cleanouts,but its not helping.
Besides IE,is there another op system that is free from all the garbage that one doesnt want/need to get the job done that is relatively easy to use.
Thanks
cheers

Is Opera still going?
Is Safari available for Windows?

yep chrome....
in the evolution of browsers compared to vehicle systems...
IE is like a low compression NA petrol engine pushing a trimatic.... any idiot can drive one but its not much good for anything, it saps recourses and is slow as all hell.
Firefox is like a common rail diesel shoving on a 6 speed syncro manual. Most people can drive it and its usually reliable but when it goes wrong its a headache.
Chrome is like an old school thermodyne with the manual valve timing adjustment and injection advance shoving an 18 speed road ranger with a sliding mesh square cut 4 speed splitting Tcase humped onto 2 speed diffs. The bloke who can drive fire fox will be able to drive chrome but he wont be able to get the most out of it and being old school with just the slightest of care it will go forever. However, given to someone who knows......

SupporterHave you got Windows Live Essentials - I did a standard update on it last week and browsers went into go slow mode after the update. Did a system restore and all went well - because the message to update Windows Live Essential came up again, and again, and again, I updated again today and you guessed it - every thing is slow - just finished another system restore and everything OK - just need to kill the annoying Windows Live Essentials update message.

Opera was my first browser many, many years ago. Opera Web Browser | Faster & safer | Download the new Internet browsers free
I have no idea how Safari ended up on my Windows machine. I think it must have been installed when I did an iTunes update.

There are some annoying features of Chrome that one has to workaround, mainly to do with integrating other applications, e.g., the Roboform toolbar

I've been using Opera for a few years. It has inbuilt email stuff as well that can be a little quirky/strange sometimes.
