Byron Dickens Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Not sure where to put this. I seem to be unable to post in Firefox on Android. The whole forum also seems to be painfully slow and/ or unresponsive. This just happened in the past few days. I was wondering if it was after changing my email, but it seems to be OK in Chrome. Now I wonder if it is because of the latest Firefox update. Would much rather use it than Chrome for multiple reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstrEd Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 On firefox in Windows 10 latest build I'm not having issues. I can't test on Android phone as I'm still holding on to my Windows phone. Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Depending on what your reasons are for avoiding Chrome, the Brave browser might be a better choice for you. It's built on the Chrome engine but runs faster and isn't as intrusive. I don't post to (or even read) forums on my phone - yes, I still call it a "phone" - so I can't testify re the Android version, but Brave has been working well for me on my computer for several months now.

How long did it take you to d/l this? I've tried twice and lost the will to live waiting for it to complete. After cancelling the d/l both attempts showed as 1217kb file size.

bitflipper Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I don't remember it being a long download. It was 1.3MB. But I only downloaded to my PC; I have not used the Android version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The initial BraveBrowserSetup d/l is quick but running that just gives a "Downloading" window that 20 minutes later still says that. Time to pretend that I never heard of it I think.

bitflipper Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Mystery solved. I had a look at the source, and it reads... while (strcmp(username, "Paulo") == 0; So it really is just you, man. Sorry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Well, well. Another Firefox update and the issue seems to have fixed itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
