Two CEntOS machines for my use here, this current one is CEntOS 5, the other is 7. With the 7 box I use Chrome as the browser. Works well.
Chrome is Google. I trust google less than I trust politicians.
My issue with FF on Ubuntu primarily is tab function.
WILL NOT work like I am used to, no add-ons seem to fix it, none of the setting I use in XP are there.
Let's say I go to webmail, click on an e-mail to view, and scratch my noggin for five minutes wondering why it doesn't open. Click it again. And again.
Then realize I have
ten more tabs open with the e-mail I selected.
Cannot set it to open specific items in same tab...including BCF.
Then there is the stupid scroll bar on the side of the "window".
It is worse than the desktop sliver on the right side of the clock on 8 and 8.1 (which I fixed). Cannot fix it in Ubuntu that I have been able to find. Load a lot of stuff that's supposed to, nothing works.
Took weeks to figure out how to get the fonts in the tabs and address bar to be big enough to read.
No, not changing screen resolution in the monitor, as with a KVM switch, it's perfect for XP-64.
Did figure out how to put taskbar on the bottom instead of the left side.
Still cannot figure out how to put clock and date on lower right instead of upper right.
But, I keep messing with it, hoping for an eventual alternative to Gate****.
