Firefox, clear history etc on exit ftw
You could try Brave browser, or Vivaldi broswer, they're all free, use what you like, there's pros and cons of all of them.

Vivaldi I give the thumbs up to, such a fast great looking browser which I prefer the interface to compared to others, it's a shame their Android browser isn't great yet, especially with LastPass integration, which is useless.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Ohhh Vivaldi has device sync now. I don't think it did last time I used it so it was more or less useless to me. I'll give it another try.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
I recently started using Firefox on Mobile after some Chrome issues and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised at how far it has come. The last time I tried it, it was bloody unusable. The new version only works with a couple of extensions but one of them is uBlock Origin so that's fine with me (And Chrome supports zero).

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Had to roll my PC back to previous build a few months back after the update completely stalled the system. Programs/apps took ages to open or wouldn’t open at all.
Did the full update again 2 days ago and although it took about the same length of time as yours it seems to be working ok this time.
Just in the middle of updating the wife’s laptop this very minute.

Shame my parents pc and laptop don't have an SSD installed as it would be so much quicker.

I'm liking it. I've only just started using it properly, it's taking awhile to get used to because I've used Chrome for so long.

I can't go back to Google Chrome or Firefox after using Vivaldi the interface is so much nicer in my opinion.

Isn't there an option for that? I use Last Pass but I thought you could import anything on the Desktop version, the mobile version isn't good yet and I use Edge on there.
Edit, says you can.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
I spent years on Google Chrome as it was way faster than Firefox, then Firefox got just as fast so I moved over to that for a year or so, then Firefox screwed up big time over the course of a weekend where their add-ons didn't work so that's when I moved to Vivaldi and couldn't go back.

Firefox does have a habit of screwing up every now and then for me, usually around every 12-18 months. It can usually be fixed by creating a new profile.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
I stopped using Firefox years ago, Chrome just came out of no where and knocked it out the park so I moved over to that. Because Chrome was so good, everyone else started stepping up their game, which is why we have Vivaldi, Brave and even Edge Chromium.
