Windows 10: Browsers hanging/freezing : edge , chrome .firefox

On my pc browsers keep on freezing again and again , I have cleared all the cache and removed all the data from browsers by resetting them . when browsers freeze other applications on pc work fine

:)

 

Microsoft Edge works, but ALL (!!) other browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera) work for maybe 20 seconds and then hang.

Original Title - Hanging browsers

I have a brand-spanking new laptop, running Windows 10.

Microsoft Edge works, but ALL (!!) other browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera) work for maybe 20 seconds and then hang. I have tried everything, including a step that apparently worked for some: typing "netsh winsock reset" in the command line running it as
admin.

My friend tells me it is unneccessary to write out my current state of mind.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

 

Chrome keeps freezing on Windows 10

Hi Pat,



There may be a few reasons why your Google Chrome keeps on freezing. One reason is the browser that you're using. For us to further isolate your concern, we need you to answer the following:

• Is this happening on other browsers as well (e.g. Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox)?
• Does the issue persist only on a specific website or it occurs on all websites?

Let us know if you're still getting the same error after performing our suggested troubleshooting step so we can assist further.

 

Google Chrome Overtakes Mozilla Firefox in Browser Market-share: StatCounter

That's why i started using chrome a while ago, i know there is always an extension to do something in Firefox, but at the end of the day i prefer it if the browser just happens to include these features.

There are other things that pushed me to chrome as well

• Firefox 4-6 were full of bugs
• The add-ons have to be updated manually in firefox
• Google chrome will synchronise every single setting in the browser including the add-ons i have across all of my computers without a single add-on needed (to do the synchronisation of course, i still use them for other things)
• Chrome works faster for me
• Chrome has that brilliant start page
• I could go on all day, there aren't any massive things Firefox is missing, it's all the small things it's missing that add up and make Google chrome better.
