        <description><![CDATA[In my experience both on my home network and at work I find IE and Firefox are both slower, the former substantially slower in fact.  At work I needed the HelpDesk to help out with some technical software I use in my work.  The Tech Support guy started to use IE 9 because he needed to download a patch.  He clicked IE 9 and while waiting for it to load he said it would have been better to have Chrome.  I told him it was already there.  He immediately shut IE 9 and started Chrome which loaded virtually immediately.  I am not a big fan of Google for a few reasons but I have to call a spade a spade.  Where Firefox is concerned I have in fact uninstalled it both at work and home because it was creating too many problems and I didn't have the patience to figure everything out.  But when I was using it, while it was quicker than IE9 but certainly not faster than Chrome.  Maybe browser speed depends on the ISP but even on my laptop it is exactly the same. So I am in complete agreement with the article.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I was forced to try a different browser when I could not sign in to eBay using IE9. And yes, I did try resetting IE to see if that would cure the problem but it didn't. So I installed and tried Chrome and Firefox. But there were things I did not like about both of them: When printing pages using Chrome, images would often be missing from the preview - but I could successfully print to my Epson printer or to Microsoft's XPS printer.  And Norton Identity Safe worked with Chrome. But in order for Chrome to work properly, I found it necessary to go into settings and delete my browsing history each time I started Chrome, which I found a drag. I have IE set to delete my browsing history each time I close my browser. I also run CCleaner on a regular basis to clear up what's left behind.But I could ONLY print to Microsoft's XPS printer in Firefox if I did NOT select print preview from the File menu first! If I did select print preview from the file menu, the 'save as' dialogue box would freeze every single time. Also Norton Identity Safe is NOT compatible with Firefox, which meant I had to install LastPass as an add-on.But fortunately, the next time I tried resetting IE, I found that I could then sign in to eBay again with it! Now I can once again do print previews and print to any printer I like; I can use Norton ID Safe; and I can have my browsing history deleted every time I close my browser. Result: I'm a very happy bunny!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[@ jhinkle ..........Having a bad hair day are you.Cable Internet and cable Digital TV pixilate's, even sometimes on the analog TV's.LAST month they screwed something up and it's all in the trash now.System here is fairly large and has been tested thoroughly. They have been out here 70+ times to do their dog and pony show.You know, as you worked for an ISP, they snip a wire, replace thegood end, change an amp, change whatever can be changed out, andwhen all is said and done, still doesn't work.Why...because the problem isn't on site, it's their network system.It's the blind lead the blind, even the supervisors.!!I have the same problems on customers &amp; friends systems that use this ISP.As far as us changing ISP's, not possible.The other ISP's are way worse.!!DSL &amp; SAT aren't exactly premium options 2Mb down LOL.But some of our customers did go DSL.They were warned.!!On a bad day I get 5Mb down, good day 38Mb down.I pay for 40Mb.Poor RF signal will give poor results.Which is only one of the problems.Signal has been good of late, they tweeked something on theirnetwork and now thins aren't so good.Fact...some...very few...traces complete, so if they do have ICMPblocked then they don't have it blocked across the board.Which again says they don't have things config'ed properly if ICMPblocked is the case.Keep in mind, I do have some experience, I remote admin systemsaround the world.Europe has one of the better systems.Hops around Europe are single digit, hops from them to Americaare mostly triple digit.America sucks.!!4G Cell phones, a joke!!5) Not once during your bitch session did you bother tomention what type of internet access you haveWhat you couldn't tell from the traceroute..!!Here I'll give you a clue....bhn!!Why did you work for two ISP's, they weren't good enough, or youweren't good enough..!!LOLLike I said, their Religiously RIGHT..!!IDIOTS..!!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Most computers I run across have the Browser's Temp files set far too high. To adjust: [example here is for IE8] with browser open, Tools / Internet Options / Browsing History Settings. Set &quot;Disk Space To Use&quot; to somewhere in the 50 Mb - 250 Mb range. Click &quot;Apply&quot;.Having a RamDisk also helps, but if the ramdisk is not big enough doesn't help. Make sure RamDisk settings are at least as large as the &quot;Disk Space To Use&quot; file.Set the RamDisk to E:\Temporary Internet Files\ .... this should keep the RamDisk as a temp file that deletes itself when pc/tablet/etc is shut off.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[For me, it's a big mess. I've actually started using Firefox for my research because the search and addressing are separate. That or going explicitly to the website where I want to do the search (Google, Bing, Yahoo or Wikipedia).The author says it's because we can do away with another toolbar. I dumped the only extra toolbar (Google) years ago. That was just after disabling search from my address bar. When the search box appeared next to the address box (and I noticed I could get there with Ctrl+E), my experience got a lot faster. Now, I just need to learn the keystroke to get me into the box. Ctrl+E doesn't seem to do it in FF.]]></description>
