Always back to Chrome. Firefox is a shit heap on every platform.

Chrome has some excellent new features coming out for the benefit of people watching pr0n: https://blog.chromium.org/2017/11/ex...ns-on-web.html

Chrome has started remembering your tabs when you launch it again after closing it. What the fuck it that about?

I swapped to Firefox after Chrome became a massive memory hog. It's really much better.

It's been an option for ages. If you go into Settings and scroll down a bit you can turn it off. Sounds like you have it set to 'Continue where you left off'

It's set to open to Google home page and the Chrome apps page as two tabs but it's still storing them.

I have an add on called New Tab Redirect which might be why it works differently to yours, I think that lets me set Google as the default page for new tabs because that somehow got patched out at some point.

When I first got the laptop I'm using now (around September time), I started using Firefox but then seitched back to Chrome as Firefox seemed to take ages to render pages. I think Firefox Quantum has been released since then. Is it much better?

I suppose it's not that big a deal, I just need to get out of the habit of closing it to close all tabs and just use the right click menu.

Started using Brave browser and it seems like it flies compared to Samsung internet and Google.

Plus it blocks adds, trackers etc seems good so far.

Ive been using Edge this morning for some reason, and when you minimize the browser, its mutes any audio playing through the browser.
