    SOooo...what is this months best working browser for WGT? Maxthon4 is smooth meter,,,but has the annoying missing "spacebar" function when in Chat...unless in "Retro" mode, and then meter becomes crap.

    Maybe WGT should pin a forum..."This months fully working browser"?

    I'm sorry if I sound...aggravated...but it's probably because I am, extremely aggravated. Maxthon 3 worked great for months...and now the meter is crap. Updating Maxthon resulted in a smoother meter...but then the "spacebar" doesn't work in Chat. Going to Maxthon "retro" mode gives me back the "spacebar" function in Chat...and proceeds to put the meter in the toilet.

    The best combo I ever had was Windows XP and IE 8 (S-I-G-H!). Smooth as silk meter and no other issues. Now, my WGT life is spent trying to find a browser that works completely instead of actually playing. And, no, nothing has changed in my internet connection in those years since XP and IE8. I have upgraded my GPU and OS (obviously). And, yes, I have all the correct drivers...I'm not some weekend warrior so don't ask...that just pisses me off.

    I don't understand why this is so hard? If you reply with an "It's your issue", I will ignore it...I can play much more intensive and resource hungry online games with absolutely NO issues (ever tried "Eve Online"??).

    I realize that you are making money hand over foot...and one guy leaving, who spends money and buys equipment, won't make a difference. Believe me, I get that.

    Please, I beg you, fix your problems as it isn't the various browsers issues...it's WGT's.

    I had luck w/ Comodo IceDragon.

     

    'Opera' was great for low CPU but issues arose and when I tried to uninstall, it wouldn't!

    I had to take many step to rid my laptop of Opera. FYI

    Get a much earlier version of Maxthon,and your spacebar issue will cease to exist.Oh,and the meter will be perfect.

    Your experience mirrors mine.  i was very happy with how Maxthon 3 worked for 15 months.  Then it went down hill and i also went to Maxthon 4.  I'm living with the space bar issue for now at least because the meter is very smooth.

    In the end I think you just have to experament with browsers until you what works right now.  Be prepared for things to change.

    I see this a lot  in here, does anyone have any proof of this statement?

    WGT had cash problems and were struggling to get Pebble b9 up and running.

    Topgolfs buy out gave wgt a cash injection but the takeover did not increase the revenue generated by players.

    I'm not saying they don't make money, I just don't know but neither do any of us outwith WGT and Topgolf.

    there is no such thing as best browser only best best browser for you

    some people swear by google chrome personally i wouldnt touch it with a bargepole

    maxathon works fine but i dont like the screen size my timing is always off

     

    i use a little known browser called blackhawk that works perfect for me,i can count on the fingers of 1 hand the number of times i have been metered this year.

    you might like to give it a try however just because it works great for me there is no guarentee it will for you
