  Hi, bit of help please as im no genius reg this (or most things lol)

  I use Chrome as browser, i have gmail account and i use Google drive to do my league tables etc, so thats why i stick with it, but do i have to.

  In other words if i download Mozilla etc, will i then lose my chrome stuff? Maybe silly question but i honestly dont know.

  Or as ive looked at all ratings and chrome seems to be up there with them, am i best just staying put?

  Thanks in advance you clever folk

  I'm no techy, but in my experience, you won't lose anything from Chrome.

  However, I have found that if you play a game in a different browser, then go back to your original one, you sometimes lose the game settings, and have to re-do them.

  As an aside, you will probably HAVE to use something different to Chrome soon anyway, (for game play at least), as all support for Chrome's NPAPI Flashplayer will stop in September, and Chrome users will be left to play using Pepperflash, which as we all know, is virtually impossible for most people to play with, due to the lag when clicking the mouse (something I'm currently having a long discussion with WGT Customer Service about)

  Plenty of other options available to try, and some may work better for you that others, so worth downloading a few and experimenting a bit.

  You probably want to have more than one browser available.  There are times I have to switch in the middle of a round due to swing meter or slow loading of next shot/reverse angle problems.

  Right now I am using Opera as my dedicated WGT browser, but about 20% of the time I have to switch to Maxthon.  Firefox maybe 5% of the time, and once or twice had to use the latest IE.

  Best thing is to try a few, as you can always delete thm if need be.

  Good luck

  I use both Maxthon Cloud browser and Comodo . The maxthon comes with flash attached , updating is not an option . Comodo has a separate flash . You can use and have as many browsers as you want .

  Dont set any browser as your default browser

  Dont allow any information to transfer from browser to browser

  Access the game through the browsers that you want to use .

  Login with each one and set it to remember you then book mark the game client page .

  As long as you dont transfer or link your browsers you should be fine . Hope this helps and good luck with your game ..
