![]() ![]() ![]() I am tech savvy, and I agree with +alz689 So why buy a masserati when a mini will get you from A to B in safety? but people use xp & win7 for various reasons, more pc than phone, and you dont even have control to remove all those extras you dont want or need. Its is a bit like my STUPID smart phone, and tablet. I prefer to pay for a good security package, than upgrade. It is, in my humble opinion, more crap, with so much stuff I dont need or use that it is slower than snails that come out in the rain. but I prefer the hp keyboard as it has the correct numeric keyboard on side and it is going back to win 7 next week. I dont download songs, movie or 'any other crap in my opinion' XP is more than enough for what I do on the internet. Now maybe XP is crap for you and it would be to many depending on what they do.Īs I grew up with PC when they were mainframes and programs were cards. win7 on Dell and my HP was 'nicely & illegally" updated to win 10 while I was sleeping. How about You? Got a story to tell or a recommendation to offer? REPLY PLEASE I'm still looking and I will find The One but it appears to be a something that isn't going to be easy. I have slimmed it down a bit and it now mostly runs within Sandboxie without problems. Both seem to slow everything down to a crawl and both often conflict with the sandbox I prefer to run them in. I have used both, (Chrome and Firefox), and both have the same problem. This one left over 1,000, yes that is one thousand, bits of flotsam and jetsam in my system after running it's built in uninstall. I use Revo Uninstaller and that seems to get rid of the trash that some browsers leave, (deliberately?) behind. If it won't load then it can't play.Ĭhinese? Snoopy? It put lots of stuff in my system and left lots and lots of stuff behind after its removal tool was finished. Why will a web sites proudly offer a browser for download that "WORKS FOR XP" and then give or sell you something that absolutely will not, can not, work on an XP system? I might check these out again later but they are way on the back burner as far as I'm concerned. That sort of puts any trial on hold as far as I'm concerned. What I downloaded was identified as Not a legitimate 32bit file. It might have been great except for my dabbling. I think it needs to be on the Possibly A Keeper list. Of course the browser didn't work properly after I was done with it. I was overcome and eventually totally out of my league. Everything you can imagine can be tweaked in that settings area. K-Meleon is like falling into the Way Back Pit. I will determine all that little stuff that makes browsing a pleasure or a pain. I will determine when or if it will update. One of my first tasks after installation of a new browser is to get into it's Settings or Options. It has reached the level of tried it got rid of it and will not be looking back. It won't load a page completely or it will eventually just blink out and require re-opening. Also I find that in a short time Opera starts to hiccup and stagger. It's like driving into a new town and seeing streets and buildings just like the streets and buildings you have seen someplace before. ![]() Also I find Opera reminds me of the dark days of IE and Windows 95. If you require the security blanket of system and security updates you may as well look some place else. Opera is no longer being supported by its developers. I have tried it several times and each time I reach the same condition and conclusion. This one is apparently the go to browser whenever a user starts to get scary about the evils out there in Cyberlund. It has a simple and clean lay out, almost Spartan, and of all those I have tried so far it is on my keepers list. In my quest to extend the joys of an XP computer I have tried out many of the above and if it will help I will offer my impressions of the ones I use, try to use, tried to use and stepped away from.Īs a couple of posters have noted, It works! I find it to be pretty fast and seems to be missing the conflicts that make several of the other recommendations start-stop-chatter-& fail. ![]()
