[Hidden-tech] Chrome and slow bandwidth

[Shel Horowitz, Ethical/Green Marketing Expert]

I often run more than one browser, and 
performance here in Hadley at the very end of the 
cable line is pathetic whether I'm running one 
browser or three.

I have a few different reasons for multiple browsers:

For a while, Facebook wouldn't run on Firefox 
while youtube wouldn't run on the now-defunct 
RockMelt. Switching from RockMelt to Chrome gave 
me one browser that could do both, but I still 
find that some sites don't work on one or the 
other.

Also, I'm in the habit of passing through the 
servers to dump the spam before I bring in my 
email via Eudora (I have much more functionality 
in Eudora than I do with any web client I've ever 
tried). The control panel only allows me to have 
one mailbox open per browser. I have several 
addresses.

Because of the slow performance, it's not 
uncommon for me to open one account in Firefox 
and one in Chrome, so that as a page crawls in of 
an e-mail I want to scan on the server, I can 
flip over and deal with e-mail from another 
account in the other browser.

If my wife is downstairs and her computer is 
upstairs, and she needs to check something 
quickly, she'll open Safari so I don't have to 
re-login as myself afterward--when she's been on 
facebook or GMail.

Not familiar with Yammer. What does it do?

PS--did you get my note that the freecycle items ARE still available?
