<p>After a few minutes online, we keep getting an error message and are terminated off the internet. This happens repeatedly. I have re-set the default settings, as suggested by my local computer guru. Still happens.</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Used to happen to me on IE. Never could figure it out. I switched to Firefox and haven’t looked back.</p>
<p>I use these things, but I have very little idea as to how to make them work.</p>
<p>How do I switch to Firefox? Do I have to download something?</p>

<p>I would recommend switching to Google’s Chrome. It is the quickest browser out there. If you have more than one computer you can use your gmail account to have all of your bookmarks set the same for all computers. If you add a bookmark while working on one computer, it also appears on your other computers. I stopped using IE years ago when it had all of those security problem and have not looked back since then.</p>
<p>Another vote for Firefox. I haven’t used IE in years…</p>
<p>I thought I should use Chrome just to know what it’s like. It crashed at least once a day. I hated how you couldn’t access bookmarks via keyboard. I went back to Firefox.</p>
<p>I’m on Firefox - so far, so good. Thanks, oh wise Coll Cons!</p>
<p>LOVE Firefox. Switched and never looked back. Love the bookmark toolbar, the multiple search engine choices, the add-ons and mostly the SYNC. I can open up Firefox anywhere and sign on and have all my bookmarks, my toolbar. I can password protect my brower with an add-on. It automatically syncs my home and office browsing daily. LOVE LOVE LOVE it (I sound like my teen aged D’s). I can have just icons on my toolbar, I can have it add icons when a site has none for my toolbar, I can color codes pages.</p>
<p>Can’t imagine why anyone would still use IE–it’s inherently insecure.</p>
<p>I’m always confused when I see people still using IE. There are much better browsers out there.</p>
<p>Firefox’s add-ons and customization selections make it an amazing browser. Ad-block Plus is my best friend. (I jumped when I used IE once for something and saw how many ads are around. I’d completely forgotten what it was like to have ads.)</p>
<p>On the other hand, Chrome is a simple, yet very fast browser.</p>
<p>So, it just depends on what you what, really. Speed, add-ons, etc. Though really, most browsers are better than IE…so pretty much any change is an upgrade.</p>

<p>The advantage of Chrome is that Google is constantly upgrading the browser. I can remember after Microsoft used its illegal monopoly to wipe out Netscape, it stopped any innovation of Internet Explorer. I would never use anything from Microsoft if I had a reasonable choice from someone else.</p>
<p>One of the cool new Chrome features is Chrome to Phone. If you find a web page using Chrome, you can click a button and transfer it to your smart phone. I have been able to read several articles using my smart phone after I transferred them from my laptop and didn’t have my laptop with me.</p>
<p>I also like Chrome’s incognito window which ads privacy for my searches.</p>
<p><.< whats wrong with ie? nothing.</p>
<p>Another vote for Google chrome.</p>
<p>I was just trying to take an online course and told I had to use IE. Firefox wouldn’t work on their answer key. Any suggestions.</p>
<p>I use both IE and Firefox. Are you using Norton by any chance? I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall my Norton a couple times because my IE would either not launch or would close. I also haven’t upgraded to IE8 yet. I haven’t heard how stable it is. The kids just use Firefox.</p>
<p>I agree with the other posters on this thread, there’s no reason anyone should be using IE when there are faster, safer, and more feature-full alternatives.
If you’re using Firefox or Chrome, there’s an add-on called IE Tab which allows you to view pages using IE but within a separate tab.</p>

<p>can you some how to post the error messages? You can copy it down and retype it here or better yet if you know how to print the screen into a file, upload and hyperlink it here.</p>
<p>Another vote for Chrome. I didn’t like it at first, went back to Firefox, tried Chrome again a few months later and haven’t looked back.</p>
<p>Another benefit of Chrome that I just learned about is that you can watch TV from many US and foreign nations right in the Chrome browser.</p>
