Eldmor Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Can any other browser save tabs and bookmarks across devices or is that just a Chrome feature? Consider this thread re-de-railed. Quote
Neowulf Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Firefox has a desktop sync feature, under the tools menu. Syncs tabs and bookmarks just fine. I actually used it to export the bookmarks out of my droid X when I replaced my phone. Synced with a VM guest I had running then synced back with my new phone. Couldn't use my real desktop setup because I didn't want to overload my phone with thousands of bookmarks (I have over 200 webcomic links alone, and I tend to bookmark-all when I get too many deviantart tabs open).

Kocken926 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Oi, tech dudes,I know IE is a piece of manure, but how would I access the internet without it on a new machine? Also, how do I uninstall it? It keeps generating cookies and other crap without me using it! Quote
Eldmor Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Oi, tech dudes,I know IE is a piece of manure, but how would I access the internet without it on a new machine? Use smartphone to download browser setup.exe of choice, USB cable, IE avoided. Quote
Sev Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 What if he doesn't have a smartphone? Also, IE is very good at downloading other browsers Quote
Neowulf Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Also, IE is very good at downloading other browsers Except when microsoft serves out malicious drive-by download ads on their default homepage and infect a computer before you even get a chance to download a virus scanner. Yes, it happens. When you have 50 machines running IE with the default homepage you're statistically guaranteed to catch any infection with a 2% or greater serve rate. There's a concept called the Sneakernet. You transfer files between computers using removable media and your legs as a method of traversing the geographical distance. It's how we shared files way back before even dialup, and you can still use it by heading to a friend's house and having them get the browser installer of your choice onto a thumb drive. A side benefit is a trip to your buddy's place that can lead to all sorts of goofing off and general socializing. Quote
Kocken926 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 In before general loneliness jokes, I'm tired of 'em. But yeah, backupping a few setup-programs might be a good idea. Quote
watsonj11 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 I think I had this problem for a while when I used internet explorer 10 It's something to do with the cookie settings Quote
Teraku Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Can any other browser save tabs and bookmarks across devices or is that just a Chrome feature? Consider this thread re-de-railed. Firefox has that too. It can sync your last session across devices as well as your history, bookmarks and cookies. Quote
NightKev Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Pretty much all the browsers have a multi-computer sync thing. Firefox, Chrome/ium, Opera. IE10 might even have such a feature by now... well, it's a nonzero chance at least. Quote

watsonj11 Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 I remember now I think what you need to do to download it is to open properties then copy and paste the link from that into the URL bar at the top of the browser Quote
Forum Administrators sct Posted May 7, 2013 Forum Administrators Posted May 7, 2013 IE10 is actually pretty decent. Not decent enough to see my clickthrough on the moon image though, apparently. Quote
watsonj11 Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 I think personally IE 10 is a bit insecure and I like the way with Chrome (the one I use) you can get add-ons and designs from there store a thing that I don't know you can do with IE Quote
