Browsers
I'm a long term Firefox fan, right back to Netscape 2 in 96.
However a social media site I use I would like to be able to run two ID's so I can read personal and professional at the same time - running firefox and IE will allow this but I hate IE.
What other browsers are out there aside from Chrome which I have heard nothing good about.
Needs to be Win7 compatible, not over bearing because Firefox will be my main browser, and structurally different to Firefox so the site won't twig the multiple logins
Cheers
Dave

IE sucks, and Chrome is spyware.

Unfortunately Opera won't work - it recognises that Firefox is logged in to the site and goes with that log in.
Log out in opera and it logs me out in Firefox - IE sucks (I wish my vac sucked as good lol) but I may be stuck with it for just this one site.

Google chrome isn't all that bad, I prefer FF but chrome is faster than IE for sure, it just does things a bit different to FF. The biggest gripe I have is if I get a job where a PC is failing to boot & they user hasn't backed up their bookmarks, I can get just about everything else back except their book marks.

Opera is Chrome with a few gadgets that Chrome does not have like keyboard shortcuts and a lot of browsers are the same, all use Chrome with a different face. Have you looked at Safari or Edge? The biggest issue I have with Chrome is it seems to be a favorite of hackers and I have had to uninstall it several times to get rid of viruses and other malware.

I don't think you can use Edge on Win 7 without installing a virtual machine.
