FOUND A GREAT BROWSER ALTERNATIVE

It's called "Brave". Read about it somewhere. Tried it. Far faster than either Safari or Firefox. Using it now as my alterntive to Safari. Uninstalled Firefox.

I now use Brave on my upgraded Windows 10. DH thought that it was better than Chrome for several reasons.

Brave is just one of my backup browsers. Waterfox is my default browser.

I haven't heard of Brave, will look into it.

Does anyone use Opera? I was thinking about downloading it.

@SeaMaiden

Browsers do not work the same for everyone. It really depends on the type of device(s) you are using them on, versions, internet speed, etc.

Safari: I cannot stand it. Needs to much TLC as far as I am concerned. On all the Macs I've tried Safari, it takes too long to load the address bar for my taste, Bookmarks & Favorites hard to manage. Those are just some of many issues I have w/it. Therefore, I've never used it. Not even as a "backup."

Yet, most Mac users LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Safari.

I perfer browsers that "just works." Rarely if ever needs attention and/or TLC (other than updating & upgrading) & are user friendly to customize.

~~I miss Netscape.~~

@Mz iMac So which browser(s) do you use?

Might have been helpful to others.

It's funny that you should mention Netscape @Mz iMac ...

There are times when I think of it with much nostalgia and I still wish that it was available!
