Admittedly, still two of the best browsers, although, I still like FF the best, even in it's 'finicky' state as of late!

Windows 10 multiple search engines

Can I install Google Chrome so it opens in Google Chrome, but does not change how other search engines open? I'm using Internet Explorer 11 as my main Internet Server and it defaults to my home page. I will not use Microsoft Edge because will not let me
choose not to use Bing as it's default, and other restrictions that I cannot override. So, I'd like to add Google Chrome to my taskbar. What I need to know is if I download Google Chrome and agree to use Google Chrome be the default, will it make any changes in
how Internet Explorer 11 opens?

how do i stop a long running script on ie and fb and all other places i go

I'm asking about the Google Toolbar on Internet Explorer not Google Chrome.

Are you using Internet Explorer or Edge? If using IE, is the Google Toolbar installed?

I have my doubts about Firefox only being at 10.54%.

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

This is hardly surprising since in Windows 10 Internet Explorer is by default not available on the desktop while Chrome continues to be bundled with many apps and often gets installed unintentionally.

And as for Edge a simple thing Microsoft could have done to speed its adoption would have been to automatically import favorites from IE as part of the upgrade from 7/8.1. This oversight continues and I'm still getting the "where are my favorites" question from customers who have newly upgraded and believe that Edge is IE because of the almost identical icon. Anyway, Edge will have a fighting chance once extension support is made available in the release build.

 

I will probably never care all that much for Edge, mainly because Microsoft has insisted on changing my default browser to Edge without asking. Never mind that it's not even close to ready for prime time.

When you don't give me a choice in what I use, I tend not to use your product. I may have to use Windows, but Edge? Nope!

And yeah, I'm one of the Firefox users who are skeptical about its small share; I think there are more than that.

 

I wonder if they pulled those numbers out of a hat?

 

One of the first things I do when I get a computer to repair is uninstall anything Google, especially Chrome. I have a strong dislike for all things Google, even though I use Google as my search engine because I can't find anything else as good, and yes, I've tried many different one.

I install or update Firefox then make it the default browser.

I use Seamonkey myself but it's a lot like Firefox and Firefox is my 2nd choice. IE 11 is also acceptable. Edge not at all.

This is just another of the preferential choices we make, like anti-virus or image editing software.

 

They pulled them out of somewhere for sure *chuckle

 

Wait, did I get this right? Because of your personal preference and strong dislike for Google/their products, you remove all that from someone elses computer and install Firefox? That's... weird to say the least.

Also, been on Windows 10 for a while now, not once I had an issue where my default browser would be changed from Chrome to Edge, and I also use Firefox and Opera for various purposes, but Chrome is my default to-go browser and Edge is not causing any trouble - weird how some people have issues with it :/

 

Aren't the largest number of IE users, corporate users? I would has it a guess that when the Enterprise users migrate to W10 starting in 2017, Edge will become the number one browser. Then it is not so much a matter of preference. Numbers do not lie, right?

 

I would expect that many home users today have several browsers installed and use them for all kinds of different reasons.

 

I have three browsers on my main desktop. Two that came with Windows 10 (Edge & IE) and Pale Moon. I just did a factory reinstall and I'm still deciding if I'm going to reinstall Fire Fox. I tried Chrome and Vivaldi and didn't really care for them so I uninstalled them. Pale Moon is my daily browser. I use Edge as my main browser when I'm using the Windows 10 Insider build.
