Chrome is the most popular web browser of all

Does Opera offer a dark theme like this which I use in Firefox?

Yes it does.

Check it out here

Opera is just Chrome in disguise now. If you want the older Opera feel you should check Vivaldi browser.

I still use IE 11, but also FireFox because Chrome restricts Internet speed to half speed. Not sure why, but if Google would speed up the download speed I may consider Chrome again. My laptop speed is fairly even between the tree browsers, but desktop speeds are much different.

So between Chrome and IE11 HTML5 internet speed test. IE can't handle my 300 - 350 Mbps internet plan (while Chrome even saturated my 802.11ac WiFi connection (at 380 Mbps peak and 359 Mbps average respectively)

IE 11 HTML5 internet speed test


Chrome Peak Download Speed


Chrome Finished HTML5 Speed TEST

Update: I bought a new desktop. Dell's top-of-the-line. Firefox is not slow anymore.:)

I've stuck with Firefox for years, and I never liked Chrome.
But Firefox performance is waning and it hiccups too often.
So I may soon switch to Chrome. Not because Chrome is getting better than Firefox, but because Firefox is getting worse.

I have been with FF for years and is my default browser. However since vr #50, have not been able to look at my security cameras. Every time I try Edge, it is short lived. Importing bookmarks to use is just one of many problems , they seem to get lost on the next upgrade. Edge is just not smooth to use as FF. Tried to use it to sign in to work, 50K employees+, could not do it. Exchange servers said that my browser was out of date??. I.T. said they prefer I.E. only. Some banks that I use only allow IE for bill pay etc. Chrome has installed several times on my PC because I missed the "fine print" where you must uncheck the Install Chrome box. I think less devious people would ask you to check the box to install instead of the other way round. I do not use IE very much, but always seems to work when I do

I tried Chrome one time. It installed an updater program. Between Chrome and the updater my DPC latency went sky high and I had dropouts and clicks in my recording studio program (I use the PC for internet and for recording studio). I had to uninstall Chrome and tried to uninstall the updater but even after uninstalling there was over 100 registry entries remaining and the updater was still causing problems. I had to manually edit the registry to remove the entries. After editing the registry (and a reboot) all was well again. That was with Windows 7 64 bit.

My primary browser is Edge, and secondary is Firefox (which doesn't interfere with the recording studio system).

I have found that Revo Uninstaller does a good job finding all that leftover files and registry junk left behind by programs' default uninstall options.
