    google chrome

    Hi all,
    Have been using chrome for a while now,but it is now starting to **** me off with it crashing.
    It seems to be crashing more frequently of late than when I first started using it.
    Sooooooooooooooo.....
    What is everyone using nowadays.
    Dont like the new firefox,is the latest explorer any good?
    What other brands do people use.Are they any good?

    Thanks

    cheers

    I use chrome because it's the only one that works properly for me on this crappy old school laptop (from the Kevin 07 scheme), I also like Firefox, however chrome has really grown on me. The newer I.E. seems rubbish compared to the old, basic browsers of yesteryear, and all the add-ons these days slow it down a lot, same with Firefox I find.

    I wonder why your chrome is crashing? Too many naughty websites perhaps? It has never crashed on me.

    Cheers
    Will

    I find Chrome the best and easiest by far, have you tried resetting it as if you had Internet Explorer that would be the first move.

    Firefox is the winner!

    Everything evolves, and the newer versions are pretty easy get used to... Plus it has awesome plug-ins like adblockers etc.

    Chrome stinks because screen calibrators don't work with it, and Explorer is... well... explorer.

    Using Linux Fuduntu with Chrome built in. Youtube vids seem to make Chrome crash after a while. Otherwise OK. Rarely use Microsoft these days.

    both of them are fine when you need it. Except that maybe the toolbars are the problem. Are they?

    To disco gazza, I have Win8 installed to internal hard drive (not my choice but the way the vendor sells the laptop). Linux runs off a USB stick. I have a choice at boot up as to which I want to run. Requires a change to BIOS - normally BIOS will be instructed to go straight to hard drive to look for operating system. The change to BIOS says check USB first for an operating system and if yes then execute, if no then go to hard drive to find an operating system.

    Correct. From memory down load the compressed file, in my case using Windows (ironic). Uncompress the file. Copy the ISO file to USB. Unfortunately Fuduntu closed down due to a dwindling user base - but I find it a very clean uncomplicated program - includes a video viewer, word processor, spreadsheet, presentation program, drawing package, screen capture, vid and still handling etc It will also read windows file architecture incase windows falls over and you have not other way to get at your files. No need for virus protection.
