What Browser Do You Use?

[Hi Ho Silver]

Can you lock out Google Analytics on Chrome in any kind of effective way?

Yes. There is an add-on called NotScripts that allows you to turn off scripts for selected web sites or all web sites. You can get it at google.

System: Windows XP Pro

Browser = Google Chrome ...because I never liked IE (too slow and too much screen space eaten up by the browser itself) and Firefox has become slow (started using it when it first came out and abandoned it over a year ago).

Firewall = Windows XP Pro firewall ...because it is simple (but not necessarily optimal)

Anti-virus = Avast (free, effective) ...I Used to have AVG (also free) but abandoned it because I felt it was slowing the system down too much.

Firefox (have not had any trouble with it) and both Avast and Malware - we've gone through the experience of "losing" a computer to a virus attack - we were using icky Norton back then - and would prefer not to have a repeat!

I use most of them because I'm learning Javascript. Saying "no scripts" might mean a lot doesn't work... I really liked that Chrome just pulled in my bookmarks for me, tho' I *want* a search window to click into ont he right side of the screen. I just do :P

When I have my first amazing math exercises in JavaScript I'll share 'em here -- don't everybody jump at once !

I use Chrome for personal stuff but IE for all work-related things. Too many of our work systems don't play well with Chrome.

For security at home, we use McAfee...but I have no choice in the matter since my husband works for them and he sets up our home network. If something doesn't work, I just complain to my own personal IT guy. I pay him in sexual favors. OK, not really.

[Irulan]

Sure you do, no need to "not really" us.

[GLC1968]

Actually, I'm sure he wishes I paid him in sexual favors! We'd be constantly having 'internet' problems and I'd never be able to get anything done around the place!

How do you think I keep getting new bikes?!

I use Safari most of the time, but I'm a Mac gal. Sometimes I run into things that don't display right and I do some beta testing for a friend's running log site, so then I might try different things in Chrome and FF, but probably 90+% of the time I use Safari.

[Roadrunner]

I use Firefox and never have any problems with it. Have you tried Google Chrome? II didn't have much luck with it, but maybe it would work better for you than it did for me.

Mostly I use Firefox. Although I do have to use IE on occasion for one of the the companies I work for, their site doesn't always like Firefox. For protection I have Advanced System Care, Security Essentials, Malware and something else, plus CC Cleaner. May have another one or two programs on here. I got a bad virus a couple months ago and hubby had to add a couple of security things to my computer. Maybe I need a 2nd computer, 1 for work and 1 for every thing else.

Chrome rules!

Another Mac gal here. I mostly use Safari, but I have Firefox installed for those sites that just don't load well with Safari. I have Ghostery installed to stop the tracking software (Google Analytics, et al).

I'm using Google Chrome right now. It seems okay, although the bookmarks aren't as easy to organize as I'd like.
