I've been using Firefox for years, now version 56.0.2. I like the "classic" look, but it seems to be getting slower. The new version is called Firefox Quantum, of course.
Any opinions about Quantum or any other browsers you like?
Thank you.

Was a Firefox guy but it is getting slower. Still use on PC but have went to Chrome on mobile devices since I an Android guy. Chrome much faster on mobile than Firefox.

I switched to Chrome from FireFox a year or so ago and really like it much better. Switching over was a breeze as they have a tool that lets you import all your data, including bookmarks and passwords.

Still on Firefox at home but they're pushing Edge on us at work which means nothing opens. I recall trying Alta Vista back in the day.

Real talk; Chrome. It might make the rest of the computer slow down, but it's a decent trade off if you do most of your work/play in a browser.

If you’re using a Mac, or even a pc chrome is the way to go. It’s damn near impossible to get a virus on a Mac. Most people experience the pop adware:malware bs that says your Mac has a virus which isn’t true. Download malwarebytes for free run the scan and it will get rid of any type of threats on your Mac or pc

I've been using Firefox for about a year and love it. Only problem is my laptop is about eight years old and the clock won't keep time. Was never a problem with Windows or Chrome, but with Firefox, it won't let me access some sites until I update the time.

Research tells me it could be the CMOS battery. I found it, would be simple to change. But the research says you may have to redo your bios? Anyone know if this is true? If so, what does updating your bios involve?
