I have been using a browser called Vivaldi of late. I have a batch of IP cameras that I monitor. Chrome was giving me fits with some of them, Firefox others, somehow or another I tripped over Vivaldi. Read the info on it pulled it down and gave it a try. I use it for presentations regarding the Amateur radio network called AREDN. Vivaldi lets me jump from live screen to live screen with no issues. I have some cameras that Chrome does not want to display, Vivaldi displays them all and it appears to be quite fast.
