How often do you change Web Browsers?
-
I have attempted to use FireFox exclusively for years now. It's a non-Chrome engine. It has a feature which allows you to watch videos while you do other things -- quite convenient. Anyway, recently FireFox has locked up my Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS desktop completely -- did it three different times. I moved back to Brave (which is seen by the world as Chrome). Do you switch browsers? Which browsers do you use?
I used chrome for some years, but fot proposes of security begin to use FF and it has been excellent!

My main browser is Vivaldi but I do have to switch every now and then. There's a financial site I use and the only browser that lets me login is Edge. Chrome, Firefox and Vivaldi just don't work there. Seems weird that Edge will work but Chrome and Vivaldi won't. Aren't they all based upon Chromium?

Glad to hear someone mentioning Opera. After switching to Brave (again) from FF, I'm starting to get settled in, but I'm going to check out Opera and see how it runs on : * Linux desktop, * iPad Pro * windows 10 I wonder if it has features for "sharing" open tabs like other browsers? Probably does.

You mean as my default, regular work web browser? I think the last time I switched in that sense was in 2004, when I started to use Firefox. Before that, I had used Opera for a couple of years after Netscape died when AOL bought them off. Never had any serious issue with Firefox, certainly much less than with any other browser pretender. Only issue that I encountered was that when they changed their API for browser extensions, a couple of add-ons didn't work anymore and the re-designed ones, using the new API, never created the same functionality. But that's where Waterfox (Classic) came to the rescue... ;)

Thanks to this post I went poking around on a practically full system SSD while describing in my mind a scenario where I would begin thinking about cloning it, after backup, and discovered that IE11 was still coming about. So today (that's right, she's on autopilot) I went to Control Panel/Programs and Apps/Windows Features and things(sp?) and unticked it's box. So in answer to your actual question, once in a blue moon.

Being able to drag the current window to the shortcut bar, with Chrome you have to bookmark the tab.

Thanks... I learned something new :)
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

That's probably a recent setting in Office. You can unset it (in outlook) File -> Options -> Advanced -> File & browser preferences
