For PC I switched to Firefox recently because chrome was using too much memory.

So I would find Chrome utilizing like 3.5-4gbs of memory.

Also, from a business/corporate standpoint: IE can be used to access old legacy sites that havent been updated in years.

Well, they found they could just pin the IE app on the taskbar and then use Chrome for all other uses. Thats why the new Edge (with the Wave) is actually built on Chromium (Chrome's engine), and it has a built-in "IE Mode" to access those old corporate sites, so that Microsoft can fully get rid of this undying abomination.

Chrome became the new "also install this" scheme for basically every software, because Google owns everything or has enough money to do that. it's so clunky and a data hog and no one realizes it still. Firefox is the browser you CHOOSE to use, Chrome is the new IE but it's obviously at least better than that.

[@Igneusflama]

Chrome's memory hog status is actually a misconception. Google takes a lot of memory but is going to share it with anything that asks. Rather than memory sitting unused, Google hangs onto it to speed itself up. If something else needs that memory, Google gives up those "speed up" bits of memory. Chrome has actually become more memory efficient than other browsers by not keeping tabs you don't need active, but it still LOOKS like a memory hog because task manager only tells you the total memory used.

Any Web Developer will tell you IE was a nightmare to work with when making websites, they never followed to web standards and we always had to build IE hacks just for them to work, while all other browsers were following the standards.

Vivaldi is best browser- you have chrome apps, its lightweight and secure, you have tabstacking, can mute tab not site, etc. have been using it since alpha and will never go to another one

[@anon6181]

Brave browser didnt even make the list

I remember getting all the free trial internet discs in the mail as a kid. The first time we got DSL was a godsend... Napster was my king...

One of the reasons Google dominates in the browser market is because of mobile. Also think about all those Chrome Books out there in use. They all are running Chrome. Google has an effective monopoly at this point as most users do basic internet stuff and really don't care beyond that (or their privacy).

Chrome's bost in popularity was around the time of Android becoming a major part of the cell market.

In the mid 90s half my floppies were formatted AOL installers.

[@KhunShawn]

Wait a minute. I need answers on this early 90s Prodigy website?! Since 2013-2014 Prodigy Disc golf has been around, and even uses the exact same logo

[@hacker4chan180]

I remember using internet explore from 2005 to 2013

[@Atodaso]

Those CDs you'd get in the mail, too! OMG - I totally forgot about that.

I was born in 93. Back then we didn't even have WoW. The biggest online game you could experience was the original Baldur's Gate. AMAZING game even to today however.

[@MaMastoast]

91 here, don't remember the first online game I played, warcraft: reign of chaos truly made the online experience something great... Here was a game that took the idea of modding and making your own content and put it right infront of the player, made it easily sharable.. Such a brilliant idea.

[@masonshucart7055]

Omg. The person that made this used the prodigy disc golf logo as the prodigy logo. That's hilarious!
