Internet Browser(s) for New Laptop (Windows 10)

by chasrob5 Dec 4, 2015 1:47PM PST

Recently purchased new laptop with Windows 10. Considering downloading either Chrome or Firefox to supplement Microsoft Edge or IE. Problem is, both Chrome and Firefox are receiving bad reviews for LATEST versions of both. Have used both of these browsers in past with little or no complaints. Now I'm leery of downloading either one. Help anyone?

Re: bad reviews

by Kees_B Forum moderator Dec 4, 2015 2:57PM PST

Can you be somewhat more specific about what's bad in these browser according to the reviews your read. And maybe a few links?

Anyway, it's easy to download and install and just as easy to uninstall if you don't like them. So why not try?

who cares about reviews

I have both and no problems. Personally I could careless about reviews. I don't have problems with either. As long as I can add the addons I need and get decent speed, it works for me.

There will be bad reviews on any item.

If you were to look for a product with no bad reviews, well, you may be in North Korea?
