I'm saying your heat problems are exposed by chrome, not caused by them.

That's like saying that the reason I keep tripping over while going up one particular staircase is not because the steps are too small, but that there is something wrong with my knees.

That too, sounds like a personal problem.

I prefer Lynx.

No...but seriously ... there are alternatives.  I like Chrome....no problem with it even on this older notebook.  I do not like Edge (has almost as many features as Lynx..haha) ... so I do not use it.  There are many choices out there.

 

 

I know someone who has an 10 year old PC that still can manage to run chrome...

 

So my suggestion is to use Chrome, it's generally a nicer browser than Edge anyways. 

 

Chrome does put some load on the GPU especially when watching youtube / netflix etc so this might be causing your fans to start if you have heat issues.

There's no file save, no Ctrl-S, no right click 'save as'. Unbelievable that such basic functionality should be omitted, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised !

 

What's even more amazing is the suggestion on the support forums that if I want to do this I should reopen the site in IE.

There is an option from within Edge to open in Internet Explorer. They put it is for legacy web sites that Edge has problems with.

 

This isn't a niche feature like 'work offline' or some random extension. Its File-Save, quite likely the most common option in any program. Removing it makes zero sense. If I'm meant to use Ctrl-P and print to pdf/xps instead of printer, that is identical to File-save as PDF, which of course is what the purpose is and is much more clear.

This feature has nothing to do with legacy websites. 

 

This sounds exactly like the ton of features removed from Windows because some PM decides 'hey no one uses it, let me just remove it from the UI' and claim victory because they made the product 'simpler'. It doesn't save any code (since obviously the markup is still in memory), there are no usage stats to show that people were no using this feature, and its totally arbritary. And yet people defend it.

Actually, I have several use case scenarios for it's removal. I've seen several users now 'save' webpages, thinking they were bookmarking them, and then are completely frustrated when they go to open them, and they no longer work. Some of them are confused why "bookmarking" (saving) the pages clutter their desktops with so many files.

 

Personally, I just don't see a reasons to save a webpage anymore. If you're looking to grab an image, you can save it, or copy / paste the text into Word or Notepad.

Chrome? lol

 

Chrome makes my laptop feels like an oven and the battery life is terrible. Opera is now just Chrome with a different skin.

 

Not sure about Firefox.

You cannot blame poor hardware on a Browser. Chrome does nothing but work when I use it.

    • I'm curious as to how Apple will marketing it's (lacking) AI-thingy compared to other players in the market. I'm not pro-AI on OS'es, but having practically nothing looks kinda 'sad' to me also.
    • Anthropic cuts off Windsurf's Claude 3.x access: What it means for users by Paul Hill The popular AI-native coding tool, Windsurf, has announced that Anthropic has cut off first-party capacity to its Claude 3 series of models, including Claude 3.5 Sonnet, 3.7 Sonnet, and 3.7 Sonnet Thinking. Until Windsurf can find some capacity to support the demand for these models, it has had to make some short-term changes. One action Windsurf is taking to ease capacity issues is offering a promo rate for Gemini 2.5 Pro of 0.75x credits instead of the usual 1x. Gemini 2.5 Pro is a strong alternative to Claude models for coding, so it could help ease the capacity burden. Additionally, Windsurf has totally removed direct access to the affected Claude models for Free tier users and those trialing the Pro plan. However, you can add your own Claude API key to continue using the model in Windsurf. Claude Sonnet 4 is also available via your own key. Who it affects, and how As a result of the change, users who rely on the Claude 3 series models within Windsurf may experience slower response times or temporary unavailability. As an alternative, users could use the free SWE-1 models or the heavily discounted promo of GPT-4.1. There are other models available for paying customers, too. Users on the Free plan or enjoying a trial of Pro are the most affected by this change is it completely removes first-party capacity, forcing them to create a key and add it manually in Windsurf. This is a big barrier to entry, but some people might be willing to do this as Claude is widely seen as one of the best AI models for coding. The move could be considered a fairly big blow to Windsurf, which was recently in acquisition talks with OpenAI. Given Claude’s reputation as a strong AI for coding, developers could be less likely to use Windsurf now that it doesn’t come with Claude's set and is ready to go on the Free plan. Why it's happening The change came with less than a week’s notice for Windsurf to adapt to the change. While the press release doesn’t disclose the reasons for Anthropic's decision, there is a strong likelihood that it has something to do with OpenAI’s potential acquisition of the IDE. Anthropic and OpenAI were the original leaders competing in the AI race, and Anthropic won’t want to give OpenAI any help if it can help it. The chagrined Windsurf said that it was concerned about Anthropic’s decision and said the move would harm the entire industry, not just Windsurf. It’s unclear what it means by this, as it didn’t elucidate on this thought. Reactions As mentioned earlier, if you have been using Claude models and now feel abandoned by Anthropic and Windsurf, following the latter’s recommendation to use Gemini Pro 2.5 could be a sensible idea. While first-party capacity has been removed, Windsurf is still actively working with other inference providers to restore capacity and full access to the models. Windsurf, while disappointed with Anthropic's move, said the magic of its IDE doesn’t come from the models themselves. Instead, it’s all about the software’s deep contextual understanding, intentional user experience, and unique features like Previews, Deploys, and Reviews. Despite this setback, it will keep trying to deliver “magic.” Given everything, users will now need to decide whether Gemini 2.5 Pro meets their needs or if they need to hunt for a Claude 3 series API key to restore Claude functionality in Windsurf. If you use Windsurf, do not overlook its own model, SWE-1, as it’s also very capable and free to use. This decision by Anthropic highlights the main issue with relying on third parties to provide AI tools that we increasingly rely upon. For businesses like Windsurf, it means they will diversify the models they offer or, as Windsurf has already done, create their own LLMs that they control. For end users, being able to download a language model and run it offline is increasingly becoming easier and ensures users don’t lose access to their favorite models. Windsurf is not the only AI IDE on the scene, and this move could cause problems for it if other players continue to offer Claude models, at least in the short term, while it searches for more capacity. It will also reduce trust between model creators like Anthropic and the companies that rely on the models.
    • Tesla instructor reportedly said staff leave with a 'negative taste in their mouth' by Hamid Ganji Tesla has been making the headlines over the past few months due to Elon Musk's controversy in the Department of Government Efficiency, aka DOGE. People have been marching to the streets, boycotting Tesla, and even setting their already-bought Tesla cars on fire. Tesla temporarily shut down its factory in Austin for the week of Memorial Day, and employees could either take paid time off or attend a series of training sessions. Business Insider now claims to have obtained a recording of the sessions that reveals some interesting details about the Tesla culture and how its employees feel about the company. The Tesla instructor reportedly asked employees to respond if they ever felt "I can't work under these conditions" and were uneasy about the company's constant change. "I know I have," the instructor said. "A lot of people leave this company, and they have kind of a negative taste in their mouth," the Tesla instructor added. "They think: 'Man, it was terrible. It was bad. I got burnt out. I feel like I didn't get anything done, nobody listened to me.'" Hundreds of Tesla employees allegedly attended the meetings, where they were asked to take more responsibility for improving the company's culture. "Leadership has kind of another level of responsibility for trying to guide and direct that culture," the instructor told Tesla staff. "But at the end of the day, it's us as the people on the ground that are the reflection of the culture." Tesla's factory in Austin produces Cybertruck and Model Y. The staff said shutting down the factory for the sake of Memorial Day has been unusual for the company. Elon Musk recently announced that he would leave his position at the White House and added that he'll remain Tesla CEO for another five years. In the meantime, the latest data shows Tesla sales in Europe have dropped 49 percent, and the company's profit in Q1 2025 declined by 71 percent.
    • More like you took offense to the letdown and I find it hilarious. Most people aren’t reading tech blogs, and for those that do, they know what the difference is. So really it’s a non-story to YOU, because you don’t like what it says.🎻
