Hello,

I have used Firefox as my default browser for years and I've been very happy with it. Now it seems as though I'm almost being "pushed" into using Edge with Windows 10. What I need is some encouragement to continue to use Firefox. That means I need some very good reasons to keep using Firefox instead switching to Edge as my default browser.

Having said that I just tried to italicize the word "pushed" in the paragraph above and it did not work. Then I tried to make it bold and that didn't work either. Does anyone know the answer to either of these questions?

Last question. Is it possible to get Google out of my life?? Everywhere I turn it's Google, Google, Google ....

First, you mark what you want to bold or whatever. Then you go to the buttons above the text box and click on the button you want.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content. You can click shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection. You can check the Web Console for messages about blocked content.
