Firefox is driving me nuts lately. It’s just not as good as it used to be. It has become slower and buggier with time. Many people have reported Firefox has taken a nosedive recently.
So I decided to try Google chrome. Which was a pile of old tosh.
So, I decided to return to IE, and installed IE8 after never having opened an IE browser for over 3 years.
…Only to find out that everytime I open the browser is gives me some message about some compulsory BING program, that I can’t seem to get rid of. Which makes IE laggy and buggy, too. You can’t uninstall it or disable this BING. I’ve even gone into runedit and tried disabling it from there.
I dare say I’m tempted to give Opera a go, but I already have a feeling it’ll be like Google Chrome and unimpress me.
Does anyone use any alternative browser? Any recommendations?
Maxthon
Cheers me dears. Never heard of it, but shall go look it up now!
Ta!
Ooer, went to download Maxthone and Zone Alarm Pro blocked access to it, apparently it’s a “spy site”
Zone Alarm has panic attacks it aint a spy site
Zone Alarm is doing my head in a bit lately. I have to use IE to use my HTML editor and it randomly says “no connection” after about 5-10 minutes of IE being idle so I have to restart the browser, it’s not the net cos the rest of the net works.
I’ve downloaded Maxthon anyway, I’m just sipping my tea before getting in bed, so shall install it later, if I install it now I’ll have the urge to play with it.
Seamonkey uses the same engine as firefox but does not have the same problem of excessive memory usuage. its smooth and elegant. The fastest PC browser is Kmeleon.
