A better browser than Chrome for windows 7?

I had to give up on Firefox. Unresponsive scripts and trouble with plug-ins were killing my online experience.
Just last week I got a used Dell Latitude 630 and added Windows 10. Also I got the cable company to provide a 25 ft data cord to run from the router straight info the laptop. No more wireless, no more hang ups on Chrome. What a difference.

We've been having good luck with Opera for several months now.

I tried Firefox before Chrome. Didn't work out. I tried to get cable from Chase, but their service ends before their lines get this far. We are in a primitive state here, so far.

I will experiment with Opera in a bit. Thanks, folks.

Step 1: Download a fresh copy of Chrome

Step 2: Completely uninstall Chrome

Step 3: Get the following add ons:
a} AdBlock
b} TamperMonkey
c} Ghostery
d} uBlock Origin

Step 4: Enjoy your Internet experience

Other notes... Get and run Malware Bytes regularly. Get and install a good AntiVirus software. (Microsoft Security Essentials is a good free one). Quit watch old car porn.

Ha ha. Great post.
You're my a2k geek from now on.

But what will I browse with?

Browse with I E to download fresh Chrome.

Step 2.5: Install fresh copy of Chrome you downloaded in step 1... oops.

I have installed all this stuff except malware bytes. Tomorrow. It's getting late. I still have to try to understand all this stuff better to take full advantage, I think. I am truly stupid with computers.

When you install Malware Bytes, make you you don't check or uncheck if it's checked to do the Premium trial. The free version is fine for home use.

So far as the add-ons go, just keep them at the default levels. If any massages come up, be sure you read them carefully and follow the prompts.

ok, I use an incredibly old HP Compaq laptop with windows vista and chrome, and chrome stopped supporting vista. I wasn't very pleased
with chrome because it kept spending endless time downloading news sites. a2k it did good, but not the news and I'm a news junkie. Any tips?

For Vista? Get a new computer.

Microsoft is going to be stopping support for Vista which means no more updates on anything.

got one. I like this one. Anyone still supporting vista?

I have a suggestion for you based on McGs suggestion to get a new computer.

In 2007 Dell sold a gazillion Latitude D630 laptops to businesses across the world. Built like a tank with dual core and 2 gigs of memory and an 80 gig hard drive(these are real good things) the D630 was state of the art.

Now in 2016 they've been unloaded on the refurbished market and are showing up at Walmart for as low as $118.
I bought one last year and man, is it a joy to use.
It comes with a free update to Windows 10 which I love.
All my browser problems disappeared and getting on the internet is fun again.
I know change is scary but you're gonna have to leave that old clunker soon.

For $118 you can't go wrong

In regard to internet browsers, Firefox is still supporting Vista. For antivirus, Avast is still at it.

Most of my problems are likely due to a low quality Emachine, plus a slow connection. Everything works better, since I followed the advice of McGentrix. But the computer is still maddeningly slow. When I navigate away from my Hushmail account there is always a notice at the top of the page advising me to check my connection. When I play Angry Birds, the page freezes in little bits, making the game pieces jump across the screen between about a second long pauses. The cursor has to grab at the game pieces varying numbers of times before making them respond. On able2know, scrolling takes extra time.

Don't you use Firefox?
Opera mini is also good option.

Different Machines will Operate better with Certain Browsers Chrome uses a lot of Processing typically If Chrome acts up its because it overloads the system more than most of the other leading browsers. Yet at the same time every Machine is different I've had Windows Computers that would work better with Opera and some better with Chrome some better with Firefox some better with Internet Explorer. Safari Sometimes works Great on Windows Ultimately the foundation of what it amounts to is The version of windows and the Hardware its running off of. I'd recommend trying Different Ones and whichever one works the best on the machine in Question to your preference is probably the best one.
