Web Browser

I use Google Chrome internet browser and I frequently use a mobile broadband dongle. I want to be able to stop videos automatically playing (this always happens on sites like Bebo and Sky News) because it uses a lot of data and sometimes I don’t even notice.
Would really appreciate any help.

what videos, do you mean advertisements…..you can disable flash player but i don’t know how with chrome, to disable flash player in ie8 go to tools > manage add ons > disable shockwave object

Hey, I currently have google chrome, and firefox. Their aren’t giving my much justice. My computer is pretty fast. Well does any one know the fastest internet browser? Or what should I do to speed them up?

Please let me know…. thanks.

All about preference ;D

I have a macbook pro, I was tinkering with my internet display settings (ignorantly) and changed something major accidentally. My browser is mostly white now, but still functional. Some images do not appear at all however, and this is quite problematic. Is there anyway to go back to the original settings?

To reset IE..
Open IE
Got To Tools
Go To internet properties
Click on advance tab
click on reset
then there you go

My family seems to think there is a risk of hackers if I leave my internet browser open and the computer unattended, even if it’s a perfectly safe website. Is this true?
The more people that confirm my suspicion, the better, because my family is indeed, paranoid and will simply challenge the credibility of anyone who answers.

Unless your on a Drive by Download site. Then no. Your family is just paranoid. If you have a firewall and decent virus protection (Eg. Kaspersky, NOD32 etc.. ) Then you’ll be fine. To check if the site your on try getting siteadvisor. www.siteadvisor.com. Switch your browser to Firefox. Its the most secure browser and it’s the fastest.

I wanted to grab videos streamed on my internet browser and download them on my pc. I am using a mac osx 10.6. Thank you!

If you’re speaking of YouTube-type video, you can install SafariStand for that: http://hetima.com/safari/stand-e.html

Be sure to download the correct version for your OS.

Why does my internet browser always crash and afterward it shows not enough memory? I recently had a fail internal hard drive but got that replaced? It constantly crashes after and hour or so and then at times will not let me back into the internet browser or do much until i restart it?

Every file present in your registry contains a command or direction for every program and application on your computer. Registry files are the files that give your computer the instructions for what to do next. If these registry files get corrupt or misplaced, your computer fails to understand what to do. In these instances, your computer loses control, eventually leading to a crash.At this stage the priority is to fix these registry files. In such situations it is suggested that you do not try to fix the registry yourself. Immediately find registry cleaner software and scan your computer to locate any errors. This software will identify all the missing entries or errors, restoring them right away. In many cases, your computer will be back to normal. It is recommended that you run this software once a month for best results. I should like to commend Registry Easy http://cleanup-comuter-run-perfectly.com
to you !

I have multiple internet browsers on my computer and internet explorer is the defaulted one. When I use aim, I want my Google Chrome to open when I click I link I’ve received. Though I don’t necessarily want to make it my default browser. Possible?

uuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. no

I have tried everything but can’t get the internet browser icon to show up on the main screen. Verizon has resent the service books several times and registered the connection to the network several more. I have opera mini and it won’t do a successful test to start. Help!

shake it real hard then throw it on the ground.

How can you stop an internet browser from loading the next page without using the Stop button? So that when I click a link it would send info as normal but just not load the next page?

That is an excellent question – I hope someone answers this!
