    I actually use 3.  My main one is Google Chrome.  But I also use Mozilla Firefox & Microsoft Edge.

    It depends on what I'm doing and how "receptive" the object of my attention at the time happens to be to each browser.

    For most plain vanilla Internet browsing I use Opera (it has an integrated Flash engine). My fall-back is Firefox. But when I need to use JAVA to access a particular piece of equipment's WEB server I use the latest version of Internet Explorer as it seems to handle JAVA better that the other WEB browsers, for the moment.

    I also have Chrome available, just in case.

  • "I use Opera" ... and also have Safari, Google Chrome and TorBrowser installed.

    Do you just use TorBrowser for certain things?  I've read through their website.

  • Yes.  I was having trouble getting on AM and Just Asking recommended it.  
     It worked like a charm and saved me from getting too far behind.
    (something about going through a different ISP or something ... I'm not sure.)

    Thanks.  I'm curious about it because it appears to be a safer browser to use for banking.  Do you sense it is slower than other browsers.  (I'll leave you alone now)  ;)

  • I only used it for a week or so, back when AM was having real problems, so I really don't remember much of it's performance except that it cured my problem. It doesn't seem to have caused me any problems since (leaving it installed), so I just keep it for emergencies.

    Just Asking, I'm sure, could tell you more.

    I use Internet Explorer, but it becomes more unstable by the day.  I frequently get a message that Internet Explorer has stopped working and it auto-closes the program and reopens it.

    Exactly what caused my switch to Firefox.

    I tired that and it made things worse.

    I've heard that but never had a problem with it. Once I uninstalled Explorer, it was relatively smooth sailing.

    Maybe that was my problem - I still had IE running.

    Could be but I'm no computer expert, that's for sure! I've just never had any real problems with Firefox and I've been using it for at least 8 years.

    One of these days, I'll give it a try.  Thanks. :)
