glass AVG is a virus protection programme not a browser. Maybe you've got some conflict, that would slow things down. There's normally an option on any search engine for US or UK based content. I thought Chrome was terrible and dislike the way they tie it in with other programmes so you can often download and install it by accident.
I had Chrome and for some reason the icon is still there for it but when I open its AVG now and its so slow, and the search is terrible more American biased. Does anyone know why?
I flirted with Firefox a few years back, seduced by the numerous add ons but it seemed to cause hanging problems so I went back to IE and then found Firefox is very difficult to get rid of..a bit like a disgruntled lover.
I changed from Internet Explorer to Firefox about 12mths ago and have not had any more trouble with screen freezing and like Ella DS2 said it was better for some reason.
