As title suggests- is it possible to have too many browsers installed, causing things to slow down?
Reason I ask is that for a good while I had a pretty flaky internet connection, and installed various browsers to try & find the fastest and most stable one. I am now finding that some site don't run as smoothly as one might expect (Gmail, FB for ex.) yet others are fine. (I also felt that Chrome was becoming bloated & laggy).
I ended up sticking with Maxthon Cloud browser, but in the meantime had installed Opera, Epic, Safari, Mozilla (maybe even others I can't recall) so was wondering if they can all co-exist happily on one system or if there are likely to be conflicts. One thing I noticed is that certain sites (Speedtest for example) will run fine on some browsers, whereas others (Opera for example) ask for Adobe Flash player to be updated. So does each browser need its own version of flashplayer?
