Hello everyone, So it seems the majority say go with Firefox, while a few bring up some good points for Chrome.
I do have both installed on the LTSP server for the school to use, but I suppose my question was which should be the default and/or encouraged so as to manage the load on the server. One reason I like Firefox is because I can get global preferences (as shown here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FirefoxOptimize ) to help manage things. I haven't seen such options for Chrome, which is another vote in that direction. One detraction from Firefox is that Flash seems to be on its dying breath in Firefox, but Chrome has a new implementation called Pepper (or something like that) which is actively being supported. A huge number of educational websites still use flash, so I feel that is a big knock against Firefox -- every time the teachers load a flash-based website I'd see huge spikes in server load. Did you experience something similar or are there other factors I've not included? Thank you Joseph On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 1:10 PM, Wesley Krasko <wesbl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Chrome.
