I don't think anything could make me switch from Opera...even if it is from Google.

stupid firefox hasn't worked for the past month, so it's on chrome now

Has Chrome picked up an adblocker yet? Because I'm not even trying it until it does.

Google is your friend.

I've had this browser problem lately. If I'm watching a video on a website and decide to browse away from it; the sound from the video continues to play and I can only stop it if I hit the close button (x).

Any reason for this to be happening?

Yes, the adobe flash plugin is utter garbage.

The one that is required to play different types of media?

When you say "watching a video" I'm casually assuming it was a flash movie with a video in it, because that is by far the most common way to watch online videos now. What makes this possible (because flash is not built into Firefox or any other browser) is the flash plugin, from Adobe. And it's a piece of junk. It used to work relatively well in the past, before flash movies could embed videos. Adding video functionality to flash made it a lot more complex, and in result a lot more buggy.

I've just switched from Firefox to Opera. I just got VISTA and Firefox seemed to lagged too much for my taste. Opera's spelling check could be better IMO but so far I'm not disappointed.

Yep. Well, it's only started happening recently. Is there a fix for it? Should I re-install Adobe Flash?

go for it

Einstein said that insanity can be defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome each time. If you installed it once, and it's buggy. And you install it again, and it's buggy. Then repeating this may not produce the outcome you'd want.

Just a thought

So you want me to switch to Opera?

 

[Martin]

No, that would be vlatko's platform

 

[Zé Tahir]

I'm not going to give vlatko that satisfaction I've removed an add-on that may possibly have been the problem creator so I'll wait and see if makes any difference.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

stop resisting the urge and go install Opera!

Don't you just love the mouse-gestures though? :eyebrows:
