I've been a Google Chrome user for years now but there are problems with Facebook that just keep giving me reasons to switch browsers. Sometimes the videos wont play, sometimes the images wont display, sometimes the newsfeed wont show up etc. These problems keep happening for me from time to time. Reinstalling Chrome does fix this but again, it keeps happening from time to time and its stressful.

Does anyone else here have such issues ? I'm thinking of switching to Firefox or Edge now. It's mainly because of pushbullet and bookmark sync that I'm still on Chrome.

Edit: Just to mention that if I go to Facebook at the same time on another browser, it works perfectly fine!

NOthing like this, happened to me. i am sure there are list of fixes on other forums.

As for Firefox. i found it little slow in loading pages. that one reason i don't use. however it has good compability thats why web developer mostly use Mozilla Firefox

I have a similar problem, videos sometimes don't play. Facebook lags like hell sometimes. I'm currently using Vivaldi, its pretty good and supports chrome extensions as well I think.

This problem does indeed exist.
I'm going to try out Opera again, its been ages since I used that browser. Even though EDGE is pretty good now, it's still not as mature.

I shifted to Opera from chrome,never been much happier.Aside from the laggy videos, IDM had all sort of issues with chrome but none in Opera.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
