[Electronics-talk] Google Crome

Sat Nov 21 02:12:58 UTC 2015

Hello,

Ok, now the stakes are getting higher!  Not only does my wife want to take a cruise, but I will be 65 in March, so I guess there is no escaping having Chrome in my future.  I have been trying to reduce clutter and stuff in my life, I feel this is a personal step backward. (smile) 

Thanks for the info about the AARP website, though.  If this is a trend, there does not seem to be a choice.  Do you think Chrome can become the default browser, as is the case now with me and I E?

Warmest Regards,

Fred

Hi,

For what it's worth, I use IE11 most of the time, but the website for AARP says you have to use Google chrome.  It's true.  I've tried to use IE11 on their website, but it doesn't work.  When I've ventured into Google Chrome, it works.  I have Windows 7 and JAWS 16 Home Edition on my computer.  I prefer IE11.  I haven't done much with Google Chrome, just to look at the AARP website.

 Hi Jim,

 I also do experience bugs with
 I E.  I also have had difficulties with  Firefox.  Either browser pretty much does what  I need.  Since I have never  taken a cruise,  I doubt that will motivate me to switch to Chrome.  My  wife definitely wants to take a cruise,  though, so, you never know.

 I would be surprised if
 MicroSoft will let other browsers get too far ahead.
 That is not to say that they won't, but the  competition seems pretty  intense.  All of  this is interesting and has a certain entertainment value  to me, so, if I feel like taking on another  challenge I may install Chrome  and look for  a cruise for my wife and me. (smile)  Thanks  for the helpful reply.

 Warmest Regards,

 Fred

 Google Crome

 Good question
 Fred.  I keep having IE crashes, and some web pages,
 (e.g.)
 the Carnival cruise lines pages, just
 won't work with IE.  If you call their
 support lines, they tell you to use Google  Crome, and apparently all your  problems will  go away.  I'd thought that the web development  languages such  as HTML, ASP, and the like  were standards, but apparently more and more web  developers are only testing with, and  supporting, Crome.

 Supposedly Crome is faster too, but so far  I'm not as impressed as I'm  supposed  to be.

 Hello Jim,

 I do not use Chrome.  I am curious what  motivated you to try it?  I use I E  and am  mostly satisfied.  I am always looking for ways to improve  my  browsing experience.  I am not very  willing to go through a bug ridden  learning  experience, but would try Chrome if it works well and has  advantages over I E.

 Thanks for your thoughts.

 Warmest Regards,

 Fred
