And chrome is probably the least secure 'browser' (it's not a browser its near enough the full android os with built in windows vulnerabilities - use it at you peril) out there, for the simple reason that it's the most complicated and designed to run crap on your computer even if you are not directly using it as a browser.
My advice as a 30 year computer professional - ditch it.

I have been an admin of some pretty questionable boards and it's not rocket science to figure out a spammer/hacker post. I was also an engineering system administrator currently sharing duties with design and adminastering the PDM system at work that I wrote the interface and workflow for.
A browser is as secure as the protection methods employed (antivirus spyware firewall and not being logged in as a user with administrative rights) and knowing what not to click on. Chrome is not my choice but it is what the cloud based MRP/ERP system uses at work so that is what is on our computers.Last edited by Todd-67; 12-01-2016 at 04:13 PM.
