That is something to do with your new tab setting then.

so would this be in my windows settings, not google fault just numptie operator

No, in chrome - somewhere in settings there will be a new tab option.

Does unchecking this box do anything

Does not seem to, normally when you change a setting on something you get the option to 'apply' but dont seem to see one in chromes, wonder if I am supposed to re start or something to apply them

Control panel - uninstall program chrome is total shite. get on opera 10x quicker and 100x better .

So far so good on Opera I like the speed dial extension, and unlike the same thing on Chrome it actually works!

Spot on, that was the one. I think @llamedos has found greener pastures now though!

I dont think this laptop likes chrome, I have never had issues with it before, but have had nothing but problems since using it on this. Used it since it started I think, on XP, XP pro, win 7, but this is 8
I am sure it is probable operator error somehow, but fed up of trying to resolve it now.

FireFox is the way forward .............

I used to think that but gone back to safari, firefox using to much battery makes the laptop run hot.

Well no complaints at all with Opera so far

Can you kill the adverts on Opera?
Never noticed the power usage while surfing, must keep an eye ................

Have to use Chrome on some sites as they wont let you use advert blocker (mostly Scrabble sites ) and its a pain, looking at stuff we can't afford!

 

[Bob c]

can use ad blocker on Internet Explorer Browser not just chrome

Yes, got an Ap from their recommended list Works really well, I read a lot of online news for here, and most of these sites are a total pain for adverts, it has caught them all so far
Love the speed dial page too, so much better than bookmark bar

Problem I found with Opera is that you can't access Woodheads website from it . It comes up with a message "SSL server probably obsolete . " I spoke to Caroline at Colne and she seemed to think it was their problem and she thought they were working on it . Still won't work though . I now use Chrome or MS to get grades etc.
