Not worried about any of this NSA crap because I live in New Zealand. Kim Dotcom pretty much finished US Operations in these parts after they messed up on that one big time. Not many western nations cooperating with the USA any more until there is a policy change.

 

Kim Dotcom is amazing. Watch this video about his point of view of what happened:

I have worked in the online business building apps, security, and sites since the beginning of internet time.

 

IE is the worst browser. It will use up your computers resources just to render pages. Whenever we build a site conditional code must be used to make pages look correct in IE because they are too hard headed to build their browser correctly.

 

IE  11 has been a really bad experience at our office. Locking up a certain 3D design program that depended on IE for browsing files. Lost a couple of days of work until someone finally figured out it was IE 11 locking everything up.

 

I suggest Firefox with mandatory addons:

 

Adblock Plus - Unbelievable how great that addon is.

Ghostery Another good one for the privacy concern

Pixlr Grabber - Great for saving anything you see on a webpage

Google Translator

Google Lite - Places a bar across the top of your browser with the words you searched. Click on the word in the bar and it will find the instances on the page of that searched word.

RoboForm - A cheap payware app that will save you from filling out web forms and keep up with your passwords (securely)

Thanks for those suggestions Rob. Will have to look up Ghostery. 

Had same problem, I removed all plug-ins and addons in IE Internet 'manage add-ons', then deleted all tool bars and add-ons in Windows Control Panel 'Programs' 'uninstall a program', rebooted computer and install worked fine.

I may just decide to change my browser after this little debacle.

Mozilla Firefox activated. Thank you for the comments, guys. I look forward to a more efficient and trouble free internet experience :smile:

To help you get back to IE10 if IE11 gives you problems.

 

Uninstalling IE11 automatically reverts back to IE10 which is more compatible for programs built to use it.

 

Here is the procedure we used: (Microsoft approved method)

IF Windows update wants to update you back to IE11 just right click on it (in the update UI) and tell it to "Hide Update".

If that helps you sleep better at night, you're welcome to believe it. Just don't forget that your IP traffic does not remain within NZ.

 

Cheers!

People are more then welcome to spy on New Zealand.....but I warn you, counting sheep is extremely boring.

I feel the same about if they spy on me. They would just be bored, so go for it.

To be honest....New Zealand is a small island nation with only 4.5 million people. Everyone is separated by about 3 degrees of separation. Everyone knows everyone's business without using a computer to spy on them. If anything it is easier to learn about someone just by hanging out at the local pub, not necessary to tap into ones IP traffic.

This is a completely different culture down here and far from paranoid. Even our government buildings are protected by a private security company with CCTV, and our police don't carry guns. Imagine that in the USA....   :rolleyes:

Plus NZ is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

 

I know what you mean about small. I moved to Florida from Breckenridge Colorado (where I lived most of my life). It was sometimes a pain just to run in the store to buy milk as you had to talk to 20 people about whats going on...or the a** I made of myself at the bar the past weekend.

 

I thought it would be nice to get away from but I miss it more than I could have ever imaged.

 

NZ sounds like a wonderful place and I hope to visit someday - which makes it one of the only countries I really want to go to. Seen many of the other countries already from my old bike touring days.

Same! Except I really hate the download manager in Firefox. You used to be able to revert back to the old one, but not anymore in the new release.

This is my primary reason for using Chrome. Download Manager works great. I purchase a lot from ORBX and with them placing their packages on Google Cloud the downloads have been fast and problem free.

 

 

The issue I have with IE11 is that once installed it crashes every time I try to enter anything into web page a text box (ex. the Google search box).  With IE 11 I cannot login to anywhere as trying to do so causes IE11 to crash.  

 

 

 

After my last rollback from IE11 to IE9 Windows Update presented IE 10 to me as a single update recommendation.  This time IE10 installed and it is working fine.

 

Well, more of the same.  After working fine for me since January 17th for printing out flight plans from my RW flight planning site, yesterday IE10 developed the same issue as mentioned for IE11 above.  So for that one printing purpose I have again rolled back to IE9.  That printing routine is the only thing I use IE for.  The only thing.

been using opera since it was beta.  before opera, netscape.  occasionally you'll get a site loaded with flash ads and opera wont load it. if i absolutely HAVE to see it, i use f.f. for that. otherwise, i just skip it. opera rules, baby!  :biggrin:

 

 

most of the folks i know still using explorer are click-throughs. they've installed every toolbar on the internet because they just click yes to everything. their computer is full of crap and their bloated start menu makes loading the o/s an all day affair.  my step son is a perfect example. i bought him a sweet i-7 rig with a ssd.  coming outta the box windows loaded in  less than 30 seconds. 

6 months of zero computer maintenance and now his load time is up over a full minute.   :Hypnotized:
