Welcome to Christianity Haven, thank you for visiting! If you have not already, we invite you to create an account and join in on the many discussions we have!
132 I am using Internet Explorer for this. It uses a lot less resources than chrome.
131 I primarily use Firefox since it is a modern W3C compliant browser.
130 ... I tried "edge" which is fast and good but it has no adblocking addons as far as I know
129 I haven't tried edge, after bad experiences with IE's inability to render standard CSS consistently, I wasn't in a hurry to try its successor.
128 ... I never worry too much about CSS rendering, it is up to the page authors to write their CSS and other content so that it works on the most widely used browsers. Very few (if any) are fully compliant with the alleged standards anyway.
127 ... As a web developer, I abhor having to bloat my code with workarounds for IE, so I simply do not support it. Firefox and Chrome virtually always render W3C compliant CSS correctly, but IE continues to choke (although it has gotten better in recent years).
126 ... but you know that you need to do it because the browser makers never are fully compliant. Besides, standards are always something of a subset of what a product producer offers.
125 ... This is true, but I've always had good results from Firefox and Chrome (and several others), and nearly always have some kind of problem from IE. So, rather than continue to contribute to the problem by supporting a broken browser, I don't and won't. I do realize also that many developers don't have this luxury if their clients demand support for IE.
124 ... on my PC right now I have both chrome and edge with this page ... chrome is using 76.9 MB and edge is using 22.5 MB both also have another web page in a second tab, it is the same page for both.
123 ... Do you have any add-ons for Chrome running?
122 ... yes, adblock.
121 ... That might account for some of the difference, but that's still a large relative difference.![]()
120 ... yes, it is a large difference; but I do think edge needs an adblocker because ads are so completely annoying.
119 ... I wonder if there are sites that use ad blocker blockers.![]()
118 ... I imagine so, sites that use static ads will be doing that.
117 ... That makes sense. I stay away from running ads, because of the annoyance factor. My fiancee wants to run adsense on her mathematics blog, but was not approved because of all the LaTeX content which can't be crawled by bots.
