Windows 10: Need new browser

I'm running Windows 10 on a Dell tablet. So far...Don't like Edge, uses too much memory. IE o.k. but freezes on certain web sites. Chrome, o.k. but having protocol problems.

one web site I need will not run Chrome because of an rc4 protocol security problem. Is there someway to get rc4 to work in Chrome?

Last option is Opera. I know nothing about it other than the rc4 security problem has been fixed in it.

Any help?

:)

Windows 10/IE11 Browser error You'll need a new App to open this http" "Look for an app in the store when trying to open links

Just upgraded to Windows 10 with IE11. When I open a site with links and try to open one of the links I get the message: "You'll need a new App to open this http" "Look for an app in the store".
If I go to the store I get a choice of 4 possible apps, all with no provenance or explanation.

Maybe I'm naïve, but I had this crazy idea that Internet Explorer and Edge are themselves web browsers. why do I need a3rd party app to open links? never had to do so with Win 7 and IE10.

 

Isn't Firefox memory intensive? I only have 2 gigs on this tablet.

 

See if you can fix the IE "freezes" issue........................

1. Clear browser cache:
Open IE11 > Tools > Internet Options > General tab > at Browsing history > click Delete > make sure the top 4 entries are checked > click Delete.

2. Reset IE if unstable:
Open IE11 > Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab at the top > near the bottom, click Reset > you will need to restart afterwards.

Hopefully, IE11 will not freeze anymore.

 

I use firefox as my main browser, as a web designer/admin it's the most compatible browser around - IE is the least!!!

 

For starters install CleanMem Free, it was actually originally designed for memory leaks in Firefox.
There are many interesting browsers to choose from: Comparison of web browsers - Wikipedia
You might give a try: Maxthon Nitro - Midori A lightweight browser - The Pale Moon Project

 

milford,
Have you decided which browser to use ?
If yes, how is it, so far ?

 

Hey milford-

I think it might be taxing on the memory, however it is my defaulted browser as well.

HERE'S a list of Chrome alternatives, if you think you might want to stay with a 'Chrome-based' browser. I also saw that CleanMem was posted, which (IMHO) is a nice program to have as well. I've been using it for years and it does seem to work fine with Win-10.

 

Safari. Only one, other than Edge that ignores/ allows for the rc4 security protocol.

 

Thanks for the update.

 

It's probably a false positive but the CleanMem link sets off my Pale Moon security.

 

Edge uses too much memory? I find that hard to believe, as Edge has the lowest memory footprint of any browser I've seen.

As for the RC4 problem, you won't find many sites that will allow RC4 anymore (especially those that accept credit cards) because it's inherently insecure and broken. All browser vendors have committed to deprecating it. So if the site refuses to use RC4, they better make the change fast or they will find they won't have any users.

 

Here's the website I'm having problems with.. .Customer Support | TracFoneWireless
In the lower right corner, try clicking on the "official support forum". Chrome and IE11, and several other browsers could not get in. Edge will get in and Safari.

 

Sorry to contradict you.
I am using IE11, I always use IE since Vista.
I have no problem opening "official support forum".
