Quote: Sloop John B should be the winner of the best sailing song because first; “sloop” is in the title, second; raising the main is in the chorus, third; it even makes mention of how the main sets – this is a real sailing tune.
However it doesn’t win the Best Song title because “he feels so broke up, he wants to go home” and the tune loses points for that

Then there was the time that Fruit of the loom took Hanes to court.
It was...a brief case.

That case almost split up the company because one group thought they shouldn't sue. there were several violent incidents between the factions.
This is of course remembered as the Boxer Rebellion.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

I try to avoid anything from these sphincters. With a VPN, it's far easier to use DuckDuckGo or StartPage (which forwards Only Do Evil's results anyway). If I use their search engine directly, it often wants me to go through several captchas to prove I'm not a bot. No wonder, because VPNs make it harder to assemble dossiers. There's far more that could be said. If Dante were still around, he'd add an extra circle in Hell for these pricks.

I switched from Firefox some years ago and never regretted it. And I even installed Chrome on my iPad to replace the awful Safari. From what I have seen of Edge (when MS forces me to use it) it is not that wonderful.

Chrome "just works" - it displays every page you throw at it, and it's "multi-device" support is excellent - you can send pages to other devices such as my phone or Surface for later.
It's stable, it's not ugly, you can mute all tabs except for those on a white list, ...
I've been using it for years and have no problem with it.

You should consider switching away to FireFox again.
FireFox is far better and does a lot of blocking of tracking cookies and other items.
I used Chrome for a long while because dev console was so great.
But now FireFox has at least of as good of dev console and you get the freedom from the large company.
I also quite using Google search -- duckduckgo instead.
I do have an Android phone and like android devices so I've installed FireFox there too.
I like to switch it up in an effort to make it so one ginormous company doesn't just take over.

All of these points are features of Firefox too, sans the spying.

When using any browser on an iPad, you are using the Safari rendering engine because that's the only one Apple allows on their devices. So, on an iPad, the Chrome browser is a skin that replaces the Safari skin. You may prefer that skin, but in terms of rendering, etc., it's Safari all the way down.
Note that it's not your iPad, it's theirs. It's nice of them to let you use it.

Strange that the output of the two is so different then.
|
|
|
|

The page content should be pixel-accurate for most content even if there were two different rendering engines because the specs are precise. If they are different, that's either in an area where the spec leaves decisions to the user agent or where the rendering engine is not compliant. iOS does include multiple HTML components, so perhaps it is now possible for an app to use a different renderer than iOS Safari uses, but if so, the renderer is still provided by Apple.

Sadly Edge is just another Chrome, reporting to a different HQ.
No, Chrome is not perfect, because remaining on top is easy if you are big enough to break others' products.
The only sane browser on Windows was IE11, just look at it's memory usage.

I never claimed that it is. I just stated that of all the browsers I have used I find Chrome works best for me. So when someone says it is the worst browser ever I tend to dismiss his opinion because it does not match my experience.

You are right, it is far from being the worst. Technically the other side (except on 32 bit systems, where still IE11 the only sane memory consumer on Windows)
But unfortunately it is a weapon like IE6 was.

I bet a lot of the bad firefox you saw was actually related to Flash player.
Flash player was terrible in firefox and I switched away back in 2010-11 too.
Now FireFox is far better and has a great dev console.
FireFox does some great things for anti-tracking built right in too.
You should try it out. Also you can share your history among machines and the data doesn't get shared anywhere else. you own your data on firefox. very nice actually.

No, it was nothing to do with flash. I just prefer Chrome.

Edge uses the same rendering engine as Chrome, but Microsoft has a vested interest in protecting your privacy, since their primary business focus is not the harvesting of user details for ad revenue but rather selling software and services which require user trust.
And, as pointed out below, Chrome on your iPad is just Safari in a tutu.
