    shortly [ so I am led to believe ] Internet explorer is going to stop working? [ already has no updates! ] My computer keeps getting transferred to Micro soft Edge and that is s***

    example
    Logging into my bank accounts in the morning … often takes like today over 15 mins, gave up and used IE and was in and perusing within 2 minutes ……….

    Often when I open a new page ME it takes a while .. then a page of adverts after having to sort cookies panel out. often changing different pages [ say emails to Championship page ] take a minute or 2 IE is almost instant

    ANYONE ELSE use Micro s*** Edge … or what do you use.

    Another prob with ME is I open 3 subjects, say bank, email and football [bbc championship]...when I check Taskmaster like this am there is 15 pages open but only 3 show on my task bar!

    I have Edge, but never use it, always use Chrome, with no issues

    Don't bother with Edge. Chrome is good but can be a bit vague on times.

    I've used Firefox for years in business and personal use - found nothing better. Quick and responsive with regular version updates and some very good anciliaries (if you want them).

    has been really fast for me! .. effective whilst being simple and not cluttered . Edge keeps wanting to take everything over PDF's data files... etc etc .. then opening loads of "hidden/extra " pages [ in task master cant actually see what they are, IE you see pages open usually the number of pages you open! ] might try firefox on one of my laptops ….

    Used Firefox years ago on some of my old comps as Explorer was playing up...was ok if my memory serves right......but I'm really used to Chrome, even installed it on my Mrs's tablet, much quicker and defiantly wysiwyg!!
