Community Q&A
- QuestionI'm currently using IE9 and am told to update my browser. I keep hearing about Chrome crashing, but my knowledge of computers is limited. If I install Firefox or Chrome, will it affect the other info/software on the desktop main screen?Community AnswerInstalling a browser should not affect other information. If you encounter a problem with a new browser, you can uninstall it without consequence.
- QuestionAfter installing Firefox, do I need to get rid of my old IE?Community AnswerNo, just make Firefox your default browser. It's not bad to have a backup browser in case something goes amiss with Firefox.
- QuestionI have an Amazon Fire, what browser should I use?Tina XCommunity AnswerYou can use any browser you find on the Playstore. "Brave browser" blocks ads, and is fast and secure. On the other hand, some popular browsers like "Edge" and "Chrome" can get very slow and laggy.
