I don't use chrome, or google.

Chrome has always been slower then Firefox (except for a few bad Firefox version back in the day), so this might explain Chrome's slowness?

I have use Firefox since early beta, and there were some versions that were whack in the 32bit flavor, but I always kept going back. there are drm-free (by defailt) varients, if you google firefox ftp.

I think I will also switch to linux and use only free software. Windows even being lock down still manages to install recommended apps!

I recall this being an issue with Google Desktop Search and X1 was some application that Salesreps, and other turds used at work too.

What can you guys tell me about Linux Mint and Ubuntu Mate? Easy to install, better than Win 10? Really want to get away from Chrome. Will those two I mentioned work with DuckDuckGo as a search engine? Thanks. I know firearms, computers, not so much. Again, thanks.

Mint. Very easy now. Download, put on USB, load from USB, and click install. Done. If you know 2 bits about bios you can dual boot on 10. If it weren’t for OnTarget not working on Mint I’d have windows wiped. 10 is so awful.

If you buy a USB 3 drive for your live disk you can try before you commit. Live boot off the usb and rock it for a few weeks to see how you like it. Mint is great. Linux has come a LONG way from Redhat and Mandrake of the 90’s.

Been using FF since ver. 4
I use DuckDuckGo for search.
Linux Ubuntu since version 12 on up and switched to Mint starting at ver.17.
Debian is in the on deck circle.
