I fucking hate it! It constantly freezes up, and it takes a half a fucking hour to post three words here. I check the task manager, and it keeps the CPU hovering around 99% tied up. All The Fucking Time!
Ads constantly. Can’t get an ad blocker to take. Tried several times. Okay, I’m fucking stupid, so probably my bad.
I decide to try to download Firefox. Hurrah! Downloads and installs just dandy! Except it won’t import any stuff from Edge* unless I have a second fucking** DEVICE**!*
I don’t have another fucking device! I fucking hate devices!
So, Goddammit! Back to fucking Edge, and ads and freezing up and generally being driven to fucking drink!
:mad::mad::(:mad:
Bonus Pie for anybody who can turn me on to an ad blocker that works on this fucking Edge shit.
The “device” is just your computer. Chrome or Firefox are asking if you want it to keep whatever settings you have, remember passwords et cetera or not. If you use them in multiple machines, you can have some remember stuff for ease of use, and others not: for example, my home computer remembers everything and logs me in to many sites automatically, but my work computer doesn’t. They’re using “device” instead of “computer” because it’s generic enough to cover any computer, excuse me, device, and doesn’t require having a different text depending on whether you’re on something that people do think of as a “computer”, or a “tablet”, or a “phone”.
They were trying to avoid confusing those who can’t wrap their heads about the tablet or phone being a computer, but instead ran afoul of those who can’t think of their computers being devices.
I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve got a big Windows update download/install going on in the background. You could check to see if it’s that or just leave your PC on, alone and online for a while.
9/10 times in a case like that, it’s a runaway ad making one of the plugins (e.g. Flash) consume all of the CPU time. disable add-ons/plugins and see if any of them make the problem go away.
