Interesting. Not sure why Chrome would suddenly be high risk. I don’t particularly like Chrome but don’t think it would be a security threat. Unless your version of Chrome is outdated. Have you tried to update your version of Chrome?

I use Kaspersky Pure for security on my laptop, and it keeps telling me that Chrome is high risk. I have changed to Dolphin on my tablet but would like to know why Chrome has lost its status as a safe browser.

My friends say I hate change, this isn’t true. I hate needless change. I quit on FF when they took the control away from me for tabs on the bottom. It seems like a small thing but it was enough for me to give up a PROGRAM I have been using for over a decade. SeaMonkey, Ice Dragon or Palemoon. All are better options. KDE has a decent browser if you use Linux.

There is something wrong going on when I could easily navigate QDOS, MSDOS and even Unix but find less and less control and integration issues with anything in the last 10 years. All they want to do is take over your PC spy on you and dumb down the GUI. I don’t need a nerdy every little widget control, but I would like to have an idea of what my stuff is doing in front and behind the scenes.

As a once early adopter I am becoming a ludite more and more each year. Smart Phones have pushed me over the edge and I finally went back to BlackBerry when the ‘classic’ came out. I don’t need no apps, just a good phone for typing, browsing, emails and text. Sure I use the odd app like my guitar tuner or a flashlight, but my phone doesn’t have to do the hokey pokey for me to satisfied with it.

I agree that it does get very frustrating to adapt to all these changes. It’s like re-learning a program every time they update it.

I use my computer for work and school. I miss the ease of windows 7 and good ol’ fashioned IE.
I don’t want apps on my computer… I don’t game. Apps are for tablets and phones.

The internet isn’t fun any more and I feel I’ve lost control regardless of which browser I use. I want my toolbars back. I want “File” “Edit” and so on in the top left. I want my “Search this page” option. I want my browser to dump all history, temp internet files and cookies every single time I close the browser.

I want my un cluttered start button which Lists my programs… in a list!!! that I can select from.

I hate Microsoft and I want their house to burn down!

Google Chrome is the equivalent of Malware but the next best option…

And Firefox sucks bunky balls… So what the hell is going on here? Why is every PC based ios, software and computer manufacturer trying to reinvent the wheel and become Apple/Mac?

What happened to doing work on a computer and not being constantly bombarded with Apps which are really advertisements?

Bottom Line – I bought my laptop one year ago with windows 8. Can I load windows 7 on a windows 8 computer… over ride everything and live the remainder of my life in the past?
