Anyone else here having problems with "Internet Explorer is Experiencing Problems...
....and therefore are about ready to shut me down when I come here? I always opt to send the error report when this happens but you know something what?

When getting ready to log on this site, I always go to Google and put in: "Democratic Underground com" and of course there are always the (same) drop down available sites (about 4 or 5 related) to click on, which I have become accustomed to...but you know what happened to me just today?

I put in: "democratic underground com" and for the first time only had 1 other option:

democratic underground com with the added "munist"

Hmmm. First time for me on that one!

You suspect that Big Brother is watching?

Just a little somethin' somethin' that I noticed and was wondering if anyone else here has encountered this same type of thing here recently???

2. I stopped using microshit as a browser years ago.
I find myself using Google Chrome a lot lately. It runs much faster and smoother than the other browsers lately.

4. I use Chrome too, even though I really don't like it.

I prefer Firefox, but it started getting slower and slower and tying up HUGE chunks of my processor power every time I used it. Chrome is ugly and lacks the amenities of FF, but it doesn't bog my laptop down.

14. I found the exact same thing.
I used FF for years as it had some scripts for gaming purposes that were not available for other browsers. Over the last 2 years FF has just gotten slower and slower though.

Chrome does have a lot of cool extensions available that may bring you some of the functions FF had. It just takes a bit of time trying them out.

9. I'd go with FireFox... Google Chrome is a system hog...
When the thing wasn't even open it was sucking up 30% of my system resources...

Try Firefox www.mozilla.com It's better than IE and easier to use. Plus you get less popups and garbage...
