(51,129 posts)I use adBlocker in Firefox, so I don't see any ads. I sometimes switch to Chrome to view site content hidden by the add-on, but WOW do page loads ever slow down when the scripts first require they all download and the cookies want to see everything you've ever done on the web.

(28,795 posts)on my 'new' computer does not run adblock
are you saying firefox runs better with adblock than chrome?
and the ads on my ipad are HIDEOUSLY intrusive, especially on youtube
thoughts on switching from safari?
thx
sorry for offtopic

(51,129 posts)so it runs much faster and i avoid all the cookies, scripts, malware, worms, etc. the ads might have, and all the requests for data about me. Then I switch browsers only to see content otherwise blocked.
I would never use IE and on a PC laptop I disable every single feature I can to disable it from running in the background when not open because it is a threat to your computer's security. You can be invaded by malware if you don't turnoff every capability you can for IE. Best option, don't even use a PC, use only Apple to go online.
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)I turn it all the way off
what can I do about that? drives me crazy!
can't defrag IOS, right?
and.....if I switch to firefox do any problems I've inherited with IE carry over

(51,129 posts)clear everything every time I quit. Not sure about iPads. Don't use them.

Trump not being the nominee. There will be some establishment coup at the convention or some indictment of him and the candidate will be Romney or Ryan.
This is a problem. I think they can do better against Clinton, are more acceptable to more people, than Trump.
So not sure we want to take out Trump.
She's not a super-strong, liked candidate like Obama is and was.

(58,647 posts)if they do replace Trump with some last minute shenanigans, it will hollow out the base of the party. The fringe votes they pick up won't replace the millions of votes that went racist asshole in the primaries.

(9,415 posts)the most positive outcome I see IF the GOP oust T-Rump is that his millions of followers will simply go out of their minds.... a fractured Repuke Party is something I heartily endorse

(51,129 posts)the dementia talking ..... and everyone who attacked him will be painted as mean spirited ....
and the Dems will be blind-sided by a candidate that hasn't had any criticism up to this point in the cycle. Tail Wag Dog Central has been working on this script for years, and Trump is just an actor who fades at the end of episode one. Or, at least that is what i expect given how weird this situation has become. Is is the Occam's razor scenario for explaining how the media was so unified in making him the leading candidate.
