I'm having issues with chrome, YouTube videos keep ending like 20/30 seconds earlier than they're meant to & all solutions i could find online dont appear to work, so now im after a new browser entirely.

Is there any other browsers I can sync with google/chrome? I've been using chrome for literally years and have so much synced to it, would be annoying to have to setup a Firefox account or whatever from scratch without my auto-fill settings and bookmarks etc..

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure Firefox imports your stuff from chrome.

When you install Firefox (or almost any other browser) on your hard drive, the setup should prompt you to "Import bookmarks" and allow you to choose which browser(s) to import your bookmarks and auto-fill settings from, although I could be wrong about the auto-fill settings, I'm not entirely sure.

About the YouTube issue, do you have any Chrome extensions enabled? If so, please list them in a reply here

Chrome is the only Web browser you need

I would recommend no other browser than chrome.. did you try another just to see if the browser is actually the issue?

No problem, just another question though, when was the last time you cleared your cache?

I did some research and found this [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] that may help you out! If nothing there works, then just go with Firefox for now, good luck

Why wouldn't you? Chrome and FIrefox are almost completely similar in regards of performance and how they work. The only major noticeable difference is a few menus and interfaces.
