I can't find the option to sync from PC to PC, I only get an option from desktop to device (smartphone/tablet). 00:49:15 Alan German: I used to use Firefox but then they took away the ability to use certain add-ons, one of which I used to make a new tab point to a local HTML file that provides a menu of frequently used URL's. 00:50:02 Natalie: You can set Firefox to clear all cookies when you close the browser. 00:50:09 Kirsten Fleming: Downloaded Norton's free new browser and although slow to download is fast and claimed to be strong on ad blocking and security, as it should being Norton. 00:51:36 Carol Pearson: how many browsers should you have on a computer 00:54:03 Tom Trottier: https://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-safari-browser-on-windows-10/ 00:54:37 Tom Trottier: v5.1.7 - several years old 00:56:49 Allison: I am finding more and more lately I can't log in to certain websites on Chrome (for example Equifax and Virgin mobile) but they work in Edge. Not sure if that is something on my device/set up or not. 00:57:14 Tom Trottier: Edge is also based on Chrome 00:57:22 Harvey Hope: Lunascape browser uses less resources 00:58:05 Lynda Buske: About 50% of the time I try to do interac money transfers on Scotiabank website, it fails using Chrome but works in Edge. 00:58:19 E O'Driscoll: I seem to recall having problems with blocking video autoplay on Firefox. 00:58:55 Tom Trottier: Librewolf claims to be a slim version of firefox 00:59:23 Carol Pearson: Thanks never saw it' 00:59:30 E O'Driscoll: Trivia: my Chrome browser runs slower than Firefox. That's a new observation for me. 01:00:20 Natalie: I logged in, but it didn't work. 01:01:27 Serge-Érik: Opera has a feature called "Speed Dial" which groups favorites/bookmarks on the main window of the browser, Those groups can be opened all at once in in separate tabs as well: very practical! 01:04:36 Glen: Does facebook track you more than Chrome does? 01:05:19 Serge-Érik: Different browsers are useful to see/test how your website looks like in the different ones. 01:06:53 Stew Bruce: Brave is deeply involved with crypto currency and has it's own wallet, I kust read today it is now accepting Bitcoin so I guyess it's pretty mainsteam 01:08:35 Bill: I love the speed dial on Opera! 01:10:45 Serge-Érik: "If you’re a web designer, developer or site/blog owner, making sure your website looks good and consistent on all web browsers and on all devices whether it’s a smart phone, tablet, laptop or desktop, should be a top priority." https://www.pixemweb.com/blog/how-to-test-your-website-in-different-browsers-and-mobile-devices/ 01:11:12 Natalie: Chris Thanks. I have everything checked as "on" for syncing. 01:13:31 Ed Morawski: Firefox can open an entire directory of websites.
