PSA: Browsers -- December 8, 2022

My favored / favorite browser is Firefox. 

For the past few months, we've had a lot of problems with Hulu. Incredibly slow to load; sometimes "never" loading. On our 27-inch desktop iMac using Firefox.

On the other hand, Hulu is awesome on the iPad.

After trying various "things" on the iMac -- and none of them working -- I realized that the iPad only uses Safari. I opened Hulu using Safari on the desktop ... and .... everything worked perfectly. It was amazing. Lightning fast. No problems. 

So, if you're having trouble with Hulu and you're using Firefox, switch to Safari. I didn't try Chrome or Microsoft. 

So, now, on Safari, all three performing as advertised -- absolutely better than expected, actually: Hulu, Amazon Prime Video; and Apple TV+.

By the way, Apple TV+ is turning out to be quite a nice platform. Right now the entire Jason Bourne series -- all five episodes -- are featured. Yes, one can get Jason Bourne "everywhere" but it's nice to be on one platform and see this franchise featured, instead of jumping from one streaming service to another streaming service looking for something.

By the way, of the three (Apple TV+, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video), Apple TV+ is the cleanest, easiest to use. I'm quite impressed.

But, of course, I'm an Apple Fanboy. Fanboy #3 was my original handle.
