in search of a fast browser for windows 10
Scott VanDeWalle
Hello all.
I hope this is the best, most appropriate list in which to post this. Firefox and internet explorer are becoming really slow for me. What i'm in serch of is a fast and stable browser that I can rely on until edge becomes usable. Thanks so much. ps. What about chrome? Scott

The browser you are looking for is Google Chrome Browser. It is very accessible with NVDA, and I recorded a tutorial on how to use it. I will send it to you if you want it. There is one virticle menu in Chrome that has all the settings you want in that one menu. When you enter on settings in the menu, a web page comes up that is easy to navigate. You do not have to sign into Google Chrome. You can use Chrome as a browser just like Firefox and IE and there isn't that much difference. Have a great one.

Have you tried doing a Firefox Refresh? I use both Firefox and Chrome routinely in Windows 10 (both are running now) and both are perfectly fine and fast. My partner's Firefox began lagging after a long while and when clearing cache didn't fix it the next step was to check what add-ons were being used, making note of them, then doing a Firefox Refresh and reinstalling only those he was still really using, and one at a time to see if one in particular was causing things to bog down. The amount of "clutter" beyond cache that can accrete to web browsers over a period of extended use is pretty remarkable and can slow things to a crawl. Even an uninstall/reinstall may not fix anything if it's related to user-specific items in the user profile including, but not limited to, add-ons. Brian

The problem may have nothing to do with the
browsers. You may have malware that is slowing things down or perhaps
there is another reason I may not have knowledge to discuss. Just trying
different browsers may not make a meaningful difference and may delay you
looking into what may be the underlying problem.

As per David message, you don't need to sign in to Google Chrome not unless you use it for sync to other devices like mobile or other machine.

Also, no one has brought up the possibility that
there may be a connection problem and that pages are loading more slowly.
You can try running a test of the cconnection speed but you can likely determine
if there is a problem with the connection by starting a download from a site
that is reliably fast and checking the download statistics during the download
to see if they are much slower than usual and how much slower they are.
Depending on the size of the file, you don't have to download the entire file;
you can cancel the download. But if the speed is much much slower, there
may be a problem with the connection.
It is far too early to reach any conclusions about
what the problem may be. But if Internet Explorer and Firefox were getting
slower in general, we would see complaint after complaint from user after
user.
