I used to use chrome, it got really slow over time even after numerous reinstalls. Switched to firefox for a while, it worked decently but flash seems to be completely fucked and causes crashes constantly. I've tried some of the other firefox versions like waterfox but all of them seem to have to have the same issue with flash.

 

Has anyone found anything that actually works properly?

Chrome is flawless for me. Other people swear by opera but that's about it.

I've never had any Flash issues with Firefox, there might be a reason it's playing up for you. Tried researching the issue?

 

Firefox is easily the best (by a huge lead) in my opinion. The most customizable, it's open-source, the most lightweight and faster, and doesn't literally report all your data and browsing history back to Google like the botnet Chrome does.

Chrome uses shitloads of ram. Firefox, I currently dislike in general. Try Opera and IE 11.

I use firefox because I like it's "flowing" design. I don't mind if a website takes 0.01sec longer to load.

What I wanted to say was that it doesn't matter what browser you use as long as you personally like it.

I once had one of these, now I've got this.

I like firefox and rekonq.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

I've used chrome for 4 years, never had any problems or slow downs. It is extremely fast, and has tons of custom configuration options.

 

You probably have a problem with your hardware or drivers if all those browsers have issues...

Why not contribute patches to chromium/firefox?

Yeah, I've tried researching it and all that. I've reset it multiple times. It's still really bad.

 

For example sometimes I'll have a twitch stream on my second monitor and scrolling will get laggy on my other firefox window. Actually, everything will get laggy when flash is running even just opening a new tab will seem finnicky.

 

Sometimes if I click back right away after going to a page with flash running firefox will freeze and flash will crash.

 

Sometimes flash players will slow to 15 fps or something and not allow me to fullscreen or change other options.

 

I've tried reinstalling fucking everything all of the solutions people offer on various forums and it's still completly fucked. But like 30% everything works perfectly fine. My pc isn't underpowered. I've got an ssd, i5, gtx 660 ti. arggh.
