I thought I was simply getting bad internet connection for download speeds using firefox. Then I try switching to chrome and my download speed becomes 5 times faster, no joke. So it's a what the heck is going on here. Never using firefox again for the most part anyway. I fail to understand how firefox is 1/5 of the speed of Chrome, 1/5. I feel sorry about blaming my laptop for slow speeds. The best part is that the downloads are finally stable. Firefox might reach higher caps like 220 kb/s but chrome is consistently going at 140-160. So far from firefox I've been getting an average of about 30 kb/s. It's done in 20 minutes with what used to take 2 hours-no joke.

Ik I was using firefox cause 1: MLG login wasn't working with Chrome, 2: Freezes on youtube with Chrome, 3: Something where stream websites weren't working. Besides that I prefer Chrome and it is definitively imo the fastest web browser availible

I think Chrome is pretty good. My computer doesn't agree with it as much as it used to. But the only notable problem I have with it is that YT videos bug up sometimes. Not sure about your comp. though

Stream sites for the most part don't really stream properly for me except youtube and advertisements anyway. There's only 2 sites which work for streaming for me and they seem to be related, just under different names.

This is what other people have told me, but apparently chrome has a lot of issues in terms of safety. Like, it is easier for worms/viruses/things I dislike to infect your computer. However, I can tell u right now, I have been using chrome for about two years now and I've never had a single issue like that. Of course, I also added WOT and I have antivirus on my computer...but that's not the point. The point is, chrome is good.

Google Chrome is the greatest and faster web browser ever! It's fast approaching version 20.0.

While I believe you and I use Chrome all the time, this sounds like some kind of promo material.

 

Or at least to me.

I know it does but I used firefox for everything before mostly. But I ignored chrome before. I kept having a download error for this one file on firefox that I was trying to download but it always failed saying something about the source file being invalid. After searching online, it said to try switching browsers and I followed that piece of advice. Then when I was checking on the download, the speed it was downloading at was significantly higher than the rate I had at firefox. But when I took out the ethernet cable, it came down to a normal 70-80. Still pretty good, way better than having it go into the 10 kb/s at some points or saying that it'll take 1-2 days to download at some points and 6 hours at others.

 

Also, while on the topic, is there any good usb to ethernet port connector? My ethernet port broke a while ago but I didn't think it made that big a difference but apparently it does. I want to make sure that I get one that will work reliably and consistently.
