I use Chrome and love the fact that it now shows you one which tab audio is being played from. I found it to be such a pain point to have to track down a tab playing some silly AD distracting me from what I was reading. I also am a fan of the automatic updates an inclusion of Flash Player (even though it tends not to be fully stable at times with multiple tabs). Just one less crap I have to download when I setup a new PC.

Which is your favorite, and why?

 

I've been using Chrome for awhile and while I do love it, I always want to try something new so I recently switched to Firefox.  Both have theirs ups and downs but I do enjoy using them both.

i' not a fan of FF because they are still stuck on a single threaded execution model.  With FF when i open my daily 44 tabs it takes much much longer than chrome or even IE who both use MT engines.  I can open all 44 tabs in chrome in less than 45 seconds.  It takes 3 minutes or more for FF to do that.

44 tabs?! I don't think I'd even know where to start!

I've been using IE11 for a while now. I tried Chrome but it didn't seem to be much of an improvement so I went back to IE. Chrome syncing with android was neat at first until I realized I don't use the web browser on my mobile devices much when most app's work a lot better.

My mother uses IE10 on her laptop, and I had to do something for her the other day and couldn't believe how "slow" it was!  Google Chrome just seems so much speedier.

 

I once had a 20-minute discussion with my grandparents about the difference between Google Chrome, the browser, and the website Google.com.  They thought they were the same thing ... oy vey!

I use Chrome on the PC and Firefox on the phone. I have tried Chrome a number of times on the phone and really try to like it but it just doesn't feel right.

Yeah I know. But chat works a tiny bit better with IE as well as their community forums. Its basically the only site that just acts weird on my Chrome. Other than that i wouldn't touch IE at all,( well except for work stuff, forced by the IT folks).

Opera.  It handles multiple tabs better than any other browser I have used.

 

The only annoyance is that you often have to fake your user agent to identify as Internet Explorer because a lot of stupid web designers check for Opera and either put up a message or redirect you.  It has this feature built in, probably because old versions (Before 8) of Opera were a little off compatibility wise.

      Are you sure that's Direct to Cell? That sounds like the 911 center was offline and they got brought back online via a Starlink uplink. Which also makes way more sense than Direct to Cell for that area.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.
