Does your Opera have Bookmarks tab? Open it and show me what it says.

I should tell you that I'm playing a guessing game based on my Firefox though.

Err well, I'm using Opera Next (or attempting to) but I don't use the older version. If that is in anyway helpful at all. "Stash" kinda acts like bookmark, but it provides no import/export options at all.



I'm having a super slow startup time on Firefox, that's what's putting me off, otherwise I'm going back to it arrrgghh.

Screenshot the Bookmark menu. -_- It could provide such option though. Have you clicked on stuff like "Show all bookmarks" or something, where options popped up? Or go to tools/preferences.

Or just google it.

Do you guys know any free add-ons for Chrome which is similar to Anonymox for Firefox? (Anonymous browsing)

I don't use add-ons, but I could look for some...if I want anonymous browsing I use private/incognito tabs....

Does it also bypass website blocks as well? For example, if I want to open Facebook from my office, normally I'd use Firefox to bypass the filter.

Your workplace could still log your history one way or another y'know, just in case.

You can also check out Ultrasurf, I think it can be used on Chrome too.

Best thing about Firefox private browsing is that the addons still work. Chrome's incognito mode renders addons useless. Which makes watching porn annoying because you get these dumb popups and ads.

Firefox is ftw. Main problem though is the memory leak.

I don't think they'd care that much if I browse work-unrelated websites during work, since it seems the one who restrict the internet is the provider itself.

I'll try it.

Okay, it works with Chrome, but somehow watching embedded video while activating the Ultrasurf makes it look weird. Not to mention somehow it seems my internet browser resolution becomes smaller. I wonder what possibly caused it.

I don't use Chrome nor Ultrasurf, so I can't be of much help here but if a video is jerky, the cause may be that the proxy can't keep up with the speed of the stream. I guess you can wait a while before starting to watch the video and let the video player download it to the cache.

No, the problem looks simpler than that, I think. I realized for some reason when I open a web page it seems that the page/video is being.. pushed down? So instead of looking at full screen, it looks like I am only looking at 3/4 of the whole screen.

Google Chrome mainly, on my comp it goes faster than mozilla. On the laptop gotta use it anyway since I didn't have mozilla :/ anyway at my case I think it has more to do with the wireless connection (which is really bad) so..

I've recently switched back to Firefox on a whim and it's been enjoyable. I've been using Chrome at times too, as I'm used to doing certain things on there. I'll be trimming down on the add-ons and configuring some stuff just to get FF running the way I want it to. Plus, it's nice to be able to use the forum's Full WYSIWYG Editing option; which doesn't seem to work on Chrome.

I use Google Chrome.

Anyone used Microsoft Edge? How do you find it? Will probably start using Windows 10 next week.

Edge is pretty fast, but it's still pretty bare.

Here's a comparison done by Linus Sebastian from Linus Tech Tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWUZDPrfOcI

Recently started to use chrome more.
I still favor Opera though since I have been using it for the longest time (consistently).

Firefox is annoying me because it won't/can't play Vine videos anywhere but the Vine site, and it won't play Instagram videos. I think it's the same for Twitter embedded videos as well.

 

[Nomi]

Using the Chromium project based Torch.

Anyone else has trouble browsing on certain sites since the last Firefox update?
