#11  /\ Interesting. I was going to download FF to my phone, but the reviews on FF for mobile devices were not that good. "Duck" has potential then.

#10  Could be the DuckDuckGo browser is only for cell phones.

#9  Opera. Also, DuckDuckGo now has a browser.

#8  Use Firefox to access mail because Pale Moon won't display it well if at all. Otherwise PM.

#7  I use Brave and have alot of sites whining about not allowing ads on my screen:) It's built from firefox I think, given it's made under the Mozilla license. I also make sure it's set to search using duckduckgo.

#6  I use Firefox as they used to be the anti-IE/Edge, but I thought I read/heard somewhere that they (FF) are "selling out" now.

I used to run Linux on my older machine...got lazy and haven't downloaded it to this desktop. I've already had two BSOD's in recent months. Thanks to Windows.

#4  So what browsers are you folks using?


I'm looking at a Lynx machine but we use Blues Iris For Win 7 & 10. Any suggestion?

#3  They are all scum. But let's face it--if you put it on the Web, it's forever.

#2  Could be the navigator. Cold be that youtube memorizes your IP. (That would not be "disloylty" from Chrome) Or could be that when you install it Chrome generates a random signature and sends it to ggodle-owned sites thus allowing them to track you. Technically Chrome wouldbe clearing your data beut that Google would defintely be cheating you
