     I use Firefox and have since the days of Navigator.  :)   
     I find it very stable and have problems very rarely.   
     For backup I use Edge, Chrome, Brave and something else.  I prefer Chrome   
   over the other others but haven't used anything but FF in a long time.

     Most of those guys are early 20 somethings and know little or nothing of   
   the older programs.   
     There have been times I've had to call Comcast tech support for some   
   problem (usually dealing with a connection, or lack thereof).  Being an early   
   riser I found if I call between 0530-0700, I get in on the second ring.   
     Huntington has a free wifi service, from Comcast, which I can use on my   
   laptops and phone.  Plus my free account with Marshall.   
     Most of the problems I've had not connecting with my PC, which is hard   
   wired, is weather or accident related with downed lines, etc.   
     One time it went out and after a day or so I called.  That was on a   
   Friday morning and Sunday about noon a repair guy was here and turned out my   
   old   
   modem had died.  Got a new one (which has a router) and back in business.     
     I was really surprised when they sent a guy out on a weekend.  He said   
   with so many people working during the week Comcast started that a few years   
   ago.  Better then having to take a day off and wait all day on them or have a   
   neighbour waiting on them for m
