Angry Web Browsers - Thought you like to know

I threw my hands up Saturday as soon as i logged on to Xpressbet. Every time the odds recycled on the screen, the box showing the race kept minimizing and i kept talking to myself what the hell. It started doing it last week. I disabled the extensions and that didn't work either. I was using Chrome.
So I switched to Firefox. The website was more stable but the problem with Firefox was that every several hours the browser would crash and I would have to restart it. This has been happening for some time now but lately it started to crash the whole computer and restart the machine.
After the races Saturday i downloaded the Vivaldi browser. Used it Sunday with no problems but on Monday i also downloaded the Iridium browser. I like to have a back up just in case. I don't like extraneous problems when i'm concentrating on horses.
If anyone has had similar problems with Chrome or Firefox let me know how you dealt with it.

Omar

the problem. Jim

Try the NEW Microsoft Edge browser?

I don't have access to Xpressbet to test it, but I am hearing very good things about Microsoft's NEW Edge browser (not their OLD Edge browser). The new Edge is built around the open-source Chromium core, same as Chrome browser and some others, but MS has added some other goodies (speed, security, low memory use) while maintaining access to all Chrome plugins/add-ons. I haven't yet installed it but plan to.

I suggest giving it a try. At the moment, you'd have to download it from Microsoft (https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/...ed-on-chromium) and install it.

Read reviews about it first.

Ted

Right now I'm using Iridium web browser and I have Vivaldi as a backup. Next week when I load Windows 10 32-bit on my second hard drive if I'm still having problems I'll try that browser if it'll work on 32 bit. I don't want 64-bit right now because the horse programs that I use won't work on 64-bit.

i'm not loading my windows 10 32-bit until next monday or tuesday. I stopped using chrome. There's too much stuff floating around on those browsers. Try downloading Iridium web browser. So far no problems. I've never used internet explorer. Those 2 browsers get bombarded with malware all the time. your anti-virus and malware stuff on your machine can't detect it because it's not in your machine but in their browser.
