How Many Browsers Does One Blogger Need?

20 Comments on “How Many Browsers Does One Blogger Need?”

1. I have never uses Microsoft Browsers. They are plagued with slowdowns and updates, as well as the advertising that they generate every time you click on a link. This new PC came loaded with Edge, but I haven’t so much as clicked on it to launch it. I have used Chrome for a number of years now, and it’s a case of so far, so good. I use it to remember my passords, and it ties in well with Gmail too.
   But, I also have Firefox installed as a ‘back up’, in case I have a day like your one. 🙂
   Best wishes, Pete.

   • Thanks for your comment! I have grown increasingly unhappy with Microsoft browsers. I think Chrome and Firefox are the best. I was surprised when I had a Chrome glitch this morning in the blog. My only question now is which browser to make my default.

2. Informative

3. The size of the font in Chrome can be made larger by holding down CTRL and working the wheel in the center of your mouse. If that doesn’t work, delete Chrome from your PC and than reinstall it. Don’t worry about losing anything from your old Chrome. Everything will reappear in the new install.

   • Thanks for the tip. I’ll try it. My PC has been shutting down of late with error messages and this time when it came back up Chrome had changed for some reason. I’d like to get a new PC but this one isn’t even 2 years old yet!

     • Try a lot of virus scans.The one that came with your PC. Download and run the Free Versions of Norton and Malebytes.

     • Okay will do! 😊

4. I hope Firefox works for you. I’ve been using it for years and I’m happy with it. There are occasional wee glitches, but nothing major and nothing ongoing. I used to use Safari until Apple made it harder and harder to have any privacy with it. Chrome would be my last resort since I try and avoid ‘be evil’ Google as much as possible, which is pretty much impossible, but there you go.

   • Thanks for the feedback! When I did a search it seemed Firefox got the best reviews. It’s hard switching between them as some apps don’t recognize you and make you log back in. So I need to figure out which one I like the best and make it my default.

5. I also use all three browsers, cycling between them depending on what I need to do, when everything runs slow it is also good to clear the cache.

   • Good idea about clearing the cache. I forget to do that. I think for now I’ll use Firefox for blogging and the others for things I’ve saved in my favorites…

6. 🙂 In my case, I use two web browsers, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

   I use Mozilla Firefox for online photo editing services like Canva and Befunky.

   The blogging aspect is done strictly on Google Chrome.

   Also, I believe that a blogger must have an additional web browser in case one of their web browsers becomes problematic (It does not hurt to have a spare browser).

   • Makes sense! I guess I’m not alone in browser issues. It looks like most bloggers have settled on Chrome or Firefox. Thanks for your comment. ☺

     • 🙂 You are welcome, Susanne.

7. Enjoyed reading this! I recently added another to my list. The more you search, the more trees they plant to help save the earth! https://www.ecosia.org/

   • Thanks for your comment. I hadn’t heard of this particular search engine before so I did a bit of research on it. Apparently, it’s true – search and they plant a tree! 🙂

8. I have used Firefox exclusively for many years. I like its privacy aspects.

   • Good to know. It got great reviews and it’s working great for blogging.

9. I still use Safari. Sometimes Chrome as a backup. Glad to see you have your trusty office helpers. Where would we be without them?

   • Thanks for your comment. I’ve never used Safari. Maybe that’s next. And yes, our helpers make everything better! 😍😻
