Fucking Chrome....

[Hardrock69]

Won't let me log in. Tried 4 times with my actual user name and password. The board kept fucking lying to me, calling me "invalid" and shit. Fucking lying piece of shit software, lol.

Tried Firefox and it let me right in.

Gonna have to stick to FF when coming here I guess.

Oh well.

Never tries Chrome. What are the plus's and negatives (overall).... (not including login problems)
And how is it different from F.F. or E.I.?

Curious...

I tried Chrome once, didn't like it, and switched back to Firefox.

Chrome is faster than FF and IE(30% or more) and has a very clean interface. It can be a bit unpredictable at some websites where say the developer has browser specific coding hacks but this is becoming less common as Chrome becomes more popular. Chrome has doubled it's user base from 10-20% this year taking most of it's users from Internet Explorer which last time I looked has become an unusable fucking misery of paranoid security alerts. Firefox had a real blip last year where it seemed to be installing fixes on a daily basis and crashing all the time but has settled down and is currently the most popular with 40% or so of the market.

I've said before that I have used Chrome for months here with no problems but Firefox is fine too and is particularly good at blocking popup adverts which you will want if you go to dodgy porn sites or VH Links.

Just discoverd Firefox creates double posts for me as well.

So I dunno what the fucking deal is. Lotsa u peeps have made suggestions since this started happening to me a couple of years back. Nothing has worked, apparently. Might just be some fluke of my dialup connection.

I do notice occasionally Chrome stops working with Facebook, and there will be times at other sites I will click on a button and it will do nothing.
It still has a ways to go, apparently.

[Seshmeister]

Yeah I get the button thing too occasionally with Chrome.

I think your double post thing is being on dial up though.

Basically the internet isn't really dial up compatible any more...

You could always try Seamonkey. Of course it's pretty much the same thing as Firefox (only with a built in e mail client as opposed to using Thunderbird separately). All the major Firefox plugins work like AdBlock Plus, NoScript, etc.

[POJO_Risin]

Here's the general rundown with regards to what works with the Army, and what doesn't:

1. IE blows ass
2. Firefox is the preferred
3. Could give a shit less about Chrome, although hear good things
4. I think I had seamonkeys once, nothing a good antibiotic won't cure
5. What the fuck is dial up?
6. Did I mention that IE blows ass?
7. Yo, you over there that mentioned Netscape...fuck off...

Have a nice day...

[Hardrock69]

Heh..Netscape is Firefox's Daddy, lol. That is what I began on, as I knew from the word go it was better than the POS IE browser.

I have Chrome also. I've found, for whatever reason, that when I'm at a screen that I have to enter my password, such as the Admin CP screen, and I hit the Enter button, it will simply pull up the main forum screen....

But when I input the password and I actually click on the Enter button on the page, it goes to the Admin CP...

Strange, but that's what I have to do....

You should see what it does at another site I frequent. It refuses to read the log in page at all. There is literally no log in/password section at the top of the page. So in order to enter the site, you have to quote a post at random, which brings you to a "You are not logged in" page, and sign in there. I won't try explain the admin section, other than to say that logging into it is just as much (if not more) a matter of blind luck than you described. CHROME does remember passwords and is less buggy in that regard than FF, which has issues with remembering history as well. But it's fairly pointless of the browser to remember passwords and log in info if it won't display any place to input them.

I refuse to use Chrome. I'm already using GMail & the Google search engine, I don't really wanna put meself on the hands of Google any more than that. I also make a point of logging off GMail when I'm done so as not to have my account & my searches linked, even though I have selected NOT to use the internet history on my account, for what it's worth.

I know this is pretty pointless, as some day - if not already - I'll be as trackable as anyone who agrees to use all that shit, but hey... gotta give it a try to preserve me FREEDOM! And privacy. And I swear that me bairns will ALSO be BORN FREE! FREE!

So, I use Opera. Hard to get into, harder to leave behind once you do get into it. I stopped using Internet Exploder years ago. Gave Firefux a try, but... no dice. I... think... I remember installing Safari when it came out... it brings up memories of horror... cleaning up never ending shit that I did NOT choose to install & was left behind by that FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! It was WORSE than Internet Exploder!

I should've known better, from previous experiences with the bloatwares Quicktime & iTunes. FUCK YOU, APPLE! FUCK YOU, JOBS!

Cheers! :bottle:

Philistine!

I installed and passed on Opera a couple of years ago, yet still have remnants of it hanging around. It is damned near impossible to delete the thing, and that is just a bit too creepily invasive for me.

[Anonymous]

I had that problem with Firefux.

It wasn't nearly as bad as with Shitfari, though... *shudders*

I STILL have nightmares.

I guess all browsers leave some shit on your computer's registry... but... Safari... dear Gawd, THE HORROR!

But how do you mean, invasive? I never had any privacy problems with the thing. Am I missing something?

Cheers! :bottle:
