If you can, use Firefox.

    I love Firefox when it works, but half the time it can’t access any sites while Chrome does. It’s like Firefox can’t see the network.

      Very rarely I face a website I can’t open on Firefox because it’s not compatible but half the time is surely a gross exaggeration

        I don’t mean half the websites don’t work. I mean half the time Firefox won’t load ANYTHING. It basically stops working with any DNS for a few hours at a time.

          DNS is an operating system level service. Your computer is screwed, not the browser.

          Chrome might be fixing it up by using Google DNS behind your back.

            Firefox uses its own internal cert database which could create a similar effect.

            Firefox supports DNS over HTTPs or a similar protocol that escapes my memory at the moment which could very well mess with its ability to handle DNS

          I have had this issue a few times and find that usually there is some weird update or something behind the scenes and a reboot of Firefox lets it start loading again. I’m not techy enough to know why but I have found that closing all tabs is mandatory maintenance for Firefox every so often.

      I think that depends heavily on the pages one might frequent.

      Most of the time i comfortably get by using netsurf…
