Google Chrome is becoming such a crap browser - slow and unresponsive - that it's time to move on onto something that doesn't act like a bloatware.
Any serious alternatives?

If you're worried about bloat I believe FFox uses a lot less memory than Chrome these days.

Delete all traces of it and then reinstall

there are really only a few contenders out there and they all have their own issues.

I hear Microsoft's got a snazzy new browser. Anyone using it?
FF is a dog, but I am still using it. Chrome has always been a struggle for me (where's that damn drop down for recent/most visited sites?!)
- It seems fine but For some reason I feel even more paranoid using it than with Google alone. Microsoft really upped their big brother game with Windows 10monospaced
- I am more concerned about the inevitable hack. It's like someday we'll all know someone that's been hacked/lost their identity/etc.formed
- How is FF a dog? You sure it's not being held down by some poorly-made plug in?detritus
- Have been playing a bit with Edge on my DAW. It is snappy. Loads fast...suspect they're keeping it in memory to achieve that.sublocked

I'm testing vivaldi now - very fast load times but some issue splaying videos.

Firefox?
I really don't get why everyone's so antipathetic towards Firefox - sure, about 5 years ago it spent a few months as a memory hog, but those days are long gone.

Conversely, I don't get why everyone's so keen to add another blanket vector for fucking Google to spy on EVERYTHING they do online. And Chrome looks Fisher-Price.
