WINDOWS 10

Here's a comparison between Edge, Chrome, and Firefox

Yep, Chrome is the way to go.

I rank extensions as my #1 priority. Because with extensions, it can help with ease of use which Mozilla has the edge on..

Looking at the speed and performance chart, Edge's performance really surprise me. I didn't really think there would be a very noticeable difference if you change browsers but if you look at the ESPN Load Time and TomsGuide Load Time, there's a HUGE difference, upwards of 20 seconds.

 

in real ll\iffe use, i dont feel like edge is that noticeably faster at loading

 

for anyone that's worried about their privacy on Windows 10...

Turnt everything off. I thought I had locations turned off already when I installed Windows 10.. but turns out I didn't.

 

thanks. will keep this in mind once I get w10

 

Yeap, straight after install, I turned off a lot of "microsoft defaults' relating to privacy/location

What you waiting for @ b-lee

 

Here's a video showing what to turn off, etc.

 

There's such a big focus on the privacy stuff with windows 10.... most average users won't even care/understand lol

 

Yeah, most average users wouldn't care that much about privacy. Probably your phone (Android or iOS) already knows a lot about you, might as well just let Windows

 

Playing it safe,. will get it in a month

 

That's the thing, articles come out about user privacy etc... raises everyone's aleart levels and the mis-informed run around going, it's not secure blah blah blah... when youru phone probably knows WAY more about you especially if you have 'location services' on

 

Rather than sleeping or hibernating, it just restarts my computer. And I'm 100% sure I didn't hit the restart.

Some people say to disable the mouse and keyboard from waking up the computer. Will have to try that tonight.

 

you mean you getting random reboots?

 

H!

Not random reboots, but when I hit the sleep or hibernate button, it restarts instead of doing what it should be doing.

I like it instead of the traditional shut down cause it takes a while for everything to load up. Especially when you start up chrome from a shut down, it takes a while to load the pages. But if you hibernate or sleep, then it cuts that time by half.

 

really? On my pc (given there's not much else installed on it) it boots up super quick. This is a silly question, but you've already gone into power options to configure the sleep and hibernate buttons to do that right? I set both to do nothing lol... I hate accidently tapping it and computer winds down on me

 

I'm talking about the sleep/hibernate in the start menu. I have the mouse/keyboard wake disabled now, so I'll let you know what happens.
