My grandson is looking to get a computer , hes not sure which browser to use and a good search engine ..... Suggestions please . Thanks in advance .

My suggestion a chrome based browser but not the google one try comodo dragon or SRWare Iron...

My search engine at the moment is bing.

It is indeed - but I do find it needs kick starting when opening? Dunno if anyone else has this? Turn on my machine and when Windows is open, click on the Comodo desk top ikon. And WAIT! Sometimes up to 5 mins, before it opens...
Once it finally appears, no probs and it runs like lightning.
I have also found that if I'm not using it for ½ an hour or more - like taking the dog for a walk - It takes a while to open any of my bookmarks when I come back to it. I've searched this and it seems to be a common prob on all Google based browsers, particularly for those of us using XP.
Brilliant browser otherwise!

Opens within 20 seconds here, no problem with Comodo at all, i switch between this and Opera.

Really is annoying this start up prob - possibly my crappy 512Mb Ram slowing it down. Or my almost full hard disc. Well, patience is a virtue and once it is finally open, Comodo is brilliant

Best browser?
1)Download them all
2)Run in each Peacekeeper
3)Read a good review
4)You judge

(my conclusion?Firefox for its independence,and,obviously,its performances,addons included)

**Twiggster** · 25-03-2012, 22:23

WARNING!!! Do NOT run Algi's peacekeeper test if you have an older p.c. with a single core CPU! One of the tests just locked my machine and had to close my browser! GRRRR!!!!

for browsing, i use mozilla seamonkey. (firefox is the tarted-up version for the masses...) search engine, try dogpile.com--it's a meta-search engine that aggregates results from google, yahoo, and bing.
