Re: Thinking of switching to Chrome, a few questions. You can change it so that it asks where to save each file if you click on it, if you want that extra peace of mind. Personally, I think I like this way better. I could have changed it in Firefox too, I just never got around to it.

Re: Thinking of switching to Chrome, a few questions. Press Control+J to go to the download manager. By default, once a download is clicked, it begins automatically.

Re: Thinking of switching to Chrome, a few questions. Hi. I personally use Internet download manager, also known as IDM. It's payed, but it has a lot of features and is very accessible. Also, it's errors are very descriptive and when a download fails it will always have a solution to continue it.

Re: Thinking of switching to Chrome, a few questions. Hi there!1. If you want others to use your browser without messing up things, open up an "incognito" window with "CTRL-Shift-N."2. You can find a more "enhanced" version of the Book Marks Manager, by checking out this Chrome extension from Google.3. As for Download anagers, check out the list of of Search Results from Google, which should fit the buill nice. (One of those results features the Free Download Manager.)Disclaimer:The Denver Queen (who isn't on this forum, yet...) and myself are "both" users of Google's Chromebook fami ly, me having one since December 2014.

Thinking of switching to Chrome, a few questions.
Thinking of switching to Chrome, a few questions. Hi all,I've been a happy user of Firefox for quite some time, but, with the new changes coming to version 57, which will disable legacy add-ons, I can't say that I'm impressed with Mozilla at this point. So, I started weighing my options, and decided to give Chrome a try today.For the most part, it's been a smooth experience. Browsing is fast, it's much more accessible with NVDA than it used to be, and many of the add-ons I use in Firefox are either already available as Chrome extensions, or there are workable equivalents.However, there are a couple of issues I'm having, two of which are minor annoyances, and one of which might be a showstopper if I can't figure out how to fix it. Maybe someone can help me find solutions to these problems.The first issue I'm having is that when I type something in the address bar, it wants to autocomplete the text. Not only do I find this annoying, it's slightly concerning fro m a privacy standpoint. I'm usually the only person who uses my computer, but on those occasions when nosy family members need it and want to poke around, I'd rather not have to deal with the inevitable barrage of questions. I did uncheck the option in settings that tells it not to use a prediction service to autocomplete URL's in the address bar, but it's still doing it, and I can't see any other obvious settings with that wording which would change the behavior. I have all the prediction services turned off anyway, since I don't really want everything I type being sent to Google, but I'm sure there has to be something else that can be disabled that will stop this.The second thing I'm wondering about are download managers. Yes, I know, Chrome is already quite efficient, impressively so, at downloading content. I like that, and I don't even mind the way in which the downloads window is displayed. The thing is, I have several podcas ts which I follow, and I like to keep local copies on my computer. Once a week, I open QCast, grab all the links of new content from the podcasts that I want, paste them in a text document, and then import the document using Down Them All in Firefox. I don't usually download podcasts using QCast itself, because it's terrible at it. It throws errors left and right when I do so. So, I need a solution that I can use in Chrome, because even if I keep Firefox around as a secondary browser, a day will come soon when Down Them All will no longer work anyway. The developer has explicitly stated that he doesn't intend to comply with the new web extension standards. So, are there any download managers that are either Chrome extensions, or are standalone applications that are reasonably accessible? Free Download Manager seems to have taken a huge nosedive in that department, judging by my testing today.Finally, this is the problem that will either make or break my decisio n to use Chrome. I imported my bookmarks from Firefox into Chrome. All was well, until I actually tried to navigate the bookmarks menu. First letter navigation doesn't seem to work at all. For example, if I hit the letter t to find something in my list that starts with that letter, what it actually jumps to is the mobile MyAt site. This is really frustrating, because I have a ton of bookmarks, and I rely heavily on first letter navigation so that I at least have a decent baseline to start scrolling from. I sincerely hope there is a way to fix this. As I said, soon, Firefox is going to become pretty crappy if a lot of add-ons don't get updated. I could use the ESR release to buy myself some time, but that, too, will stopp receiving updates eventually, so it's a Band-aid solution, which I don't really care to implement.
