    Cross-Platform browser recommendation?

    I use a combination of macOS , Windows, and Linux operating systems at work and home. My employer locks down the computers so that you can only use what they allow - Chrome, Firefox ( not Quantum ) , and Microsoft Edge. Out of these I can run only Firefox or Chrome on all platforms. I've...

    So what's the latest on Chrome and battery use? ...

    I've followed this story for a couple years. Wasn't there a big announcement from Google earlier this year claiming that that while Chrome still wasn't as good as Safari with respect to battery life, they'd improved it quite a bit? I much prefer the UI of Chrome over Safari on macOS (20-15...

    Autofill one at a time?

    Not sure if this is an OSX question or a Chrome question but... Is there a way to autofill one entry at a time instead of changing all possible entries on a page at once? It seems if you choose to use autofill it fills up every available entry on a webpage and will also change any entries that...

    Some Wikipedia Pages Crashing Browser

    For the past few months, every time I try to pull up the Roger Waters or Hall and Oates pages on Wikipedia, Safari and Chrome both crash. The browsers will occasionally crash on other sites, but it is consistent on these two. Any ideas?

    Color Shift in Google Chrome w/ GTX 1080

    Hey friends, I have found that only a handful of people have this issue (or maybe many people have the issue and simply don't notice it). I have also never found a proper solution. So I'm wondering if you guys are running into the same problem. (And if so, if anyone has figured out a solution)...

    Chrome Freezes on many sites since 10.12.4

    Ever since I upgraded to 10.12.4, Chrome freezes the entire computer on many sites for about 10 seconds with the spinning beachball/pinwheel. An (unfortunate) example, but there are many others: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump Safari doesn't have this problem. I have tried disabling all...

    Safari-like "tab thumbnails" for Chrome?

    Hi. Safari can display the thumbnail images of all the open tabs with Command + Shift + \. I tried Safari for a week and loved this feature. It comes in very handy when I have a lot of open tabs and need to go to one of the pages quickly. (I usually have 15-20 tabs open at the same time.) Now...
