Title: I need help guys
Post by: Shield on July 11, 2013, 08:31:12 PM
My browser (Rockmelt) is retiring by 31st July and I need a new one. The following browsers are completely out of the question:

Google Chrome: Lags for me
Firefox: My dad uses it for his business work, and I think it has the same issues as Google Chrome

So, do you guys have a better alternative?

And no, I will not take Internet Explorer for an answer.

If both Chrome and Firefox lag, then I suspect it's more to do with your PC or internet connection.

Firefox and Google only lag when I watch videos.

And Firefox looks... off

Safari is terrible, I heard Opera is bad, but I heard Netscape and CometBird are good obscure browsers.

It's not the browser lol.
Also why will you not take Internet Explorer as an answer?

Yes, but for whatever reason Rockmelt runs better, faster.

what antivir program do you use?

It's Chinese. That's all I know.

Are you sure that anti-virus is not allowing virus instead of stopping them? A large amount of malwares will not only slow your PC down but will also affect the browsers a lot (personal experience).

Also IE has improved a lot lately. It can rival with Firefox.

I don't know. That might be the case.

IE rivaling Firefox? Hmm, I might just check it out...

But for now, I shall wait 'till the 28th before I make my decision. Maybe the Rockmelt team will decide to continue running it, after all, so far the feedback has been mostly positive.

It doesn't have that many features and add-on capabilities as Firefox but in terms of security and network speed it's definitely going somewhere.
