Windows 10: Chrome is the most popular web browser of all

I find Chrome loads faster on older machines, but misses a feature that Firefox has. I like downloading pictures for backgrounds. Firefox let's me "save as background", to see if I like it, without having to download it first. ...secondly, Chrome can't be told to automatically go to new tab. Two beefs of mine...

 

Right click works for me in the latest version of Chrome.

To send an email link add a page in the bookmarks bar with the following content:

javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+'&BODY='+escape(location.href);

I have tried Chrome many times, the last time I tried it I really tried to get used to it and like it.... very happy windows 10 has edge, maybe edge is better in windows 10 pro but so far no complaints with edge

 

I've stuck with Firefox for years, and I never liked Chrome.
But Firefox performance is waning and it hiccups too often.
So I may soon switch to Chrome. Not because Chrome is getting better than Firefox, but because Firefox is getting worse.

 

Actually people, Opera is really pretty good. Just the browser, not that full suite called Neon.

 

I had to quit using chrome because of pepper flash, and constant stalling of web videos. It was just way to annoying to cope with.

 

Disable it.

 

That never would stick. It would inevitably just get reenabled the next time chrome would update, which was very frequently. I got tired of it, so I quit.

 

Windows 10: Microsoft is spamming Chrome users with pop-up adverts | TheINQUIRER

 

I'm not getting any pop-up ads on my computer.

 

Neither I...

Weird stuff, I wonder what version of windows they refer to in that article, I use 1511 and I work flawlessly without adds of any kind (of course, disabled some useless resource hogging tasks updated latest patches and then disabled Windows Update service).

I just upgraded my VGA drivers, and chipset. BOOM, rock solid. Also, I use Firefox (faster than Chrome and doesn't cry about accelerated canvases...)

 

Been using Chrome and works a treat!

 

Anything that tries to sneak onto my computer by the back door, like Chrome, I also consider a pest & flat out will not use and immediately get rid of it. In fact I consider it to be what Malwarebytes calls a PUP.

 

What about what Microsoft keeps doing, changing default search providers and home pages in IE and edge every other update?

 

I dislike Chrome for one reason:

If you have even one browser window open or more of course and extentions the resources it consumes is a bit much. Looking in the Task Manager on other users computers shows a HOARD of Chrome entries. Hmm....then again...memory is cheap.
