    Yeah, I switched a couple of years back when I was finding firefox constantly needing and pestering for updates while seeming to be getting more bloated and slow. It may be better now but I am now reasonably happy with chrome so will stick with it.

    Same here! Chrome doesn't have the customization I like. I like being able to open about:config and change everything in the browser to suit my needs, I like the range of add-ons too!
    I do, however load up chrome when using Google Docs and Google Drive due to the fact that there are special things that only work in chrome, such as copying and pasting and uploading folders

    It constantly amazes me that I have to deal with idiots in regards to discussion on reducing this sites income, given that that very recently I have stated the site is at its lowest income level in years.

    I can guarantee you all that the next one that even wants to suggest it will enjoy a nice christmas holiday free of charge from me.

    I'm sorry that you thought I would actively attack austechs income stream - wasn't my intention. Nor do I think anyone else here did intend to create a discussion to reduce the income stream. I happily pay the minuscule amount every year to become a premium member, happily pay double - not to have an email address, or access private forum, but to assist the forum to survive.

    I don't believe I am an idiot, I actually believe that many here are intelligent and enjoy the discussions that they are involved with.
    You started the discussion, I simply gave a reason why I use a specific browsing tool
    I don't enjoy some of the advertising here, nor do I think premium members should get advertising

    If you feel that I must be banned, then so be it - end of an era, member from the last millennium

    So you have a problem with members here using an add blocker, yet you yourself use one on your phone?



    Don't the people who write apps deserve to be paid for their work just as much as you do mate?

    Thats your choice, I am not going to waste my time debating the issue. It has been said before and I am not going to go throug it all yet again. While Premium Members ar appreciated, it doesnt give them anymore rights than anyone else.

    And for the record, not all posts are advocationg blocking our ads, but if they are quoting someone that is, its deleted.

    I have a problem with members publically discussing blocking our ads on this site, not what you just claimed. I wouldnt come in to your house and talk to some people about emptying your wallet.

    Apps like Tapatalk rob us of vasts amount of income. But I'll stick to keeping our own backyard clean thanks for your concern.

    I never use ad blockers, I prefer to see what Google is dishing up based on my browsing habits (or my email that they've been reading, that's a worthwhile exercise for anyone that uses Gmail), lets face it Google is reasonably dumb in that it will just place ads for primarily what you've already been looking at so I don't think there's that much intelligence in their adwords service, occasionally though I do see something of interest and will click on the link and check it out, I'm not sure how much benefit that brings

    had never thought about the impact of Tapatalk, I guess if I'm browsing from mobile I'd be less inclined to look at an ad regardless but I guess the option isn't even there so the decision is made for me

    Yep, been on Chrome since it started, been my daily driver ever since.

    I have had to use FireFox or Opera at times for certain things.
    But find Chrome, fast, easy and does what i need.

    I used Firefox and Chrome at the same time but finally decided that Chrome is better. I enjoy its functionality.

    I've used the internet for almost two decades now and the web browser that I've used the most is Mozilla's "Firefox", currently "Firefox Nightly". I'm pretty sure that I wont switch to "Goggle Chrome", this because I want to see menus and icons up at the top of the browser. .
