Mr Google said "It's my poll, I am paying for it so the figures will say what I want them to say"   :o:

I'm having problems with Chrome hogging all my resources on the mended computer.  I may have to return to Avant.   ::)

That might be a very good idea Simon.  But will I lose my bookmarks?  (again).  :dunno:

Did you leave your original browser installed? If so, just re-import. Otherwise, there's probably an option to export, either locally or to the cloud.

I have no idea, Clive, but I would guess that bookmarks are stored elsewhere, as with Firefox, so they should be safe.
