    POTW Game - Best Browser?

    I like Chrome on my work PC for just about everything, but in the last few months, sometimes some of the pics don't display. Like this morning, Jedz123 posted a pic, and Chrome showed a broken pic icon. Bob Baatfam's post right above it showed no picture at all. Now, I know these guys and I know they know how to post pics. I tried viewing on Firefox, same deal. Edge, however, showed all the pics. I may have to switch to Edge for viewing the forum unless anyone knows of a way to fix Chrome?

    On my Iphone and Ipad, I like Safari for just about everything, but again, for some reason, sometimes, some pics don't show. The only ioS browser I've found that consistently displays pics is Opera. Opera is also the only ioS browser I've found that lets me have the full desktop version of Imgur (which you need to get the BBCode for sharing pics on the forum). You really have to trick it to get the desktop version, but it can be done. Wish they wouldn't make it so difficult or would include BBCode on the mobile version.

    I really don't use my home Mac much at all, but when I do, Safari and Chrome both show all pics. No issues there.

    Anyone else experience issues showing pics on certain browsers on certain platforms? What works best for you?

    Google changed their rules for Chrome a couple months back, where many types of add blockers are now disabled. I've been a Chrome user for some time, and displaying spam ads is a bummer now. YouTube shows ads, or you get to stare at a blank screen until the ad finishes, and the video starts.

    Another funny thing using Chrome, on eBay, if a search is performed, and you toggle something like "lowest price", after a few clicks an error pops up, disabling ebay browsing. Edge can do this too, but not as frequent as Chrome. Interestingly, Firefox doesn't do this, so I use Firefox for ebay most of the time now.

      I use chrome on both my desktop, and my laptop almost exclusively. I have not noticed any issues as of yet, but I'll keep an eye out.

            I use Brave Browser and never had a problem. Brave Browser blocks ads etc saving data downloads and speeds things up a bit.

              I've been using Firefox for years and overall happy with it. Occasionally Edge.

                Firefox on the home systems and Safari on the phone; haven't had too much of an issue viewing the pictures when I can get on
