web browsing

Using a power efficient browser is one of the best ways to get more out of your PC or tablet – whether you’re checking email, shopping online, playing games, or watching movies. Today’s laptops and tablets last longer than ever, thanks to major advances in battery technology, processor...

Since this past Tuesday, has anyone else noticed that Internet Explorer 11 hasn't worked properly since this past Tuesday? Edge works fine, but if you try to go to any websites in IE including Bing, it just doesn't work. I've run the troubleshooters for everything to do with networking. I've run...

I can't access the bodybuilding website for a long time now. I don't know why. I always get this "Service Unavailable" on white screen. Help me. Thank you.

We'll be featuring an abridged Q&A from Fred Langa's LANGALIST, a feature available exclusively to paid subscribers of the Windows Secrets newsletter. Today's Q&A: Should I turn on Internet Explorer's 'Enable Strict P3P Validation' option? read more Continue reading...

My laptop did an automatic upgrade to Windows 10 Home recently; formerly it was Windows 7 Home Premium. Since this change, the touch pad (HP G56) will not scroll on any document or web page. When I attempt to update the driver I am told it is up to date and also that the device is working...

In recent years it seems like nearly every browser under the sun has become a clone of google chrome in some form or fashion. From Opera,to Maxthon, to Edge to even Firefox looking more like chrome then it does its own browser. Its attack of the chrome clones and its gotten very stale and...

I have W10 and edge but edge won't support addons like Roboform which I use everytime I am on the computer. I have been trying to use the newest version of IE, but for some reason it won't stay installed. If I select it from the taskbar a blank page opens up with all my favourites in the bar...

I just recently built a computer for myself, but for some reason I am plagued with constant BSODs, most of which have different error codes but all pointing to ntoskrnl.exe driver. I've tried to do some troubleshooting on my own by reinstalling Windows, running Memtest86 overnight with no issues...

Probably a simple question . . . . when viewing web sites, emails, etc. and as the mouse rolls over a "linkable site" - the web address flashes up on the screen (and it's LONG, REALLY LONG!!) and I can't see anything around it that I am supposed to click on! Is there a way to hide that address...

Hi This is a weird one. I posted a while back about internet searches not working as well as they used to. Well today I was looking for the address of some one I haven't seen in a long time that we are going to have lunch with. I typed in, (the names have been changed to protect the innocent)...

I am very angry right now because I have tried to connect to proxies via proxy over and over again for YEARS possibly, I've looked for so many online tutorials, but it NEVER works for me on my end and I have NO idea why. I really need to use a proxy right now and for it to actually work. What...

This has just started happening in the last week. Never had it occur before. Can anyone help solve this? After doing a Google search and bringing up a page of website options - I then try to click on the website link I want to look at. BUT as I click on the website I want to go to - the page...

Okay scroll starts acting up when I am about half way down on a web site. I have noticed it ever since I downloaded Win 10. I have to close the site or it sometimes freezes up completely. Using win 7 at the time. I thought that is might have to due with how many windows I have opened and I...

RoboForm will not work with Edge, MS's new Internet Browser simply because Edge does not allow extensions. RoboForm programmers state that until the Edge programmers allow extensions, there is nothing that they can do to make RoboForm compatible with the Edge Browser. Come on, Microsoft! Quit...

Link Removed In May, we announced that Microsoft Edge was saying goodbye to binary extensibility models such as ActiveX and Browser Helper Objects. This change made browsing in Windows faster, more secure, and more stable than ever, while paving the way for better interoperability with other...

Yesterday I came back to my PC and tapped the keyboard to wake my machine up from hibernation. Went online to do some web surfing and got that "No connection" screen that you get when something is wrong. My first instinct was the reboot the router. Which i did, to no avail. Looking down I...

Hi Has anyone else experienced Chrome blocking video if you run Ad Blocker? If I turn on Ad Blocker the ad is gone and I get the sound, but there is a black screen in the video window. If I turn Ad Blocker off the video returns but I have to watch the same ad, over and over every time I run a...
