internet browsers

i'm thinking about changing from firefox to something else... firefox is acting strange for me, like here on wattem i can't see the smileys or other post ttype stuff and youtube is a terrific mess too with different sized thumbnails of shit on the main page and i can't view any videos at the momentthe only thing i'm stressing is transferring bookmarks to a new program.

oh and changing themes on here is impossible because when i click that link at the bottom it's like hitting the home key, bringing me up to the top of the page

chrome?

internet explorer

yeah chrome is working

what the hell firefox? why did you play me like that.

did you try creating a new profile or resetting firefox?

chrome is best but i always have the same problem with it - every flash video lags and stops no matter what i try. it works well on firefox, so i have to use both. one for browsing and one for videos. anyone knows what is up with that?

I have a problem where the Google Chrome with adblock doesn't show ads on youtubes, but Chromium with adblock shows them. What is going on?

It goes without saying: make sure your browser is running the latest version, and all the plugins (not addons) like Flash are up-to-date as well. Might also be your PC is starting to show it's age - software keeps advancing, demanding more of the hardware.

I have the most recent version of chrome and for some reason drop down menus (on watmm and everywhere else) are completely transparent including the text (like autocomplete text..?).

this is bullshit, if it works well enough why change it so it needs more from the hardware.

netscape navigator for that vaporwave treatment

chrome has its own version of flash (pepper flash) built in. go to about:plugins and if you have two flash players listed, try disabling one and see if it makes a difference. if not, then try enabling the one you disabled and disabling the other one.

Are you serious? So browser makers should just stop improving the product since it "works well enough"? They're not changing it purposely so it demands more of the hardware, that's just how things work - think about the things your computer can do effortlessly that 10 years ago would have required literally a supercomputer costing hundreds of times more than a normal PC, or wasn't even possible due to limitations in hardware and software at the time.

Another way to think about it - hardware is static - once a CPU's speed and maximum potential are set, there is very little that can be done to go beyond those limits. It's capabilites are frozen in time.

Software is dynamic - it is constantly evolving, and as a result, evolves beyond the hardware's limits, so as a result, it runs poorly on older hardware.

I suppose you could track down older versions of software, but it's also improved to fix bugs and errors that sometimes don't get found out until well after it's release - that's the point of ensuring you're running the latest versions - you're taking advantage of the (hopefully) latest software fixes and sometimes, improvements.

so chrome works beautiful on my computer now. firefox was way buggy and weird which is strange but Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

Haha, very true, but Safari is really a bit schizo if you think about it - on Mac, Safari is really fast, and works well (duh), but on Windows... well, that's why they discontinued it on Windows.
