Google Chrome and Google Earth ?
Hello,
Running W10 on a desktop. Using Firefox as my Browser, and am reasonably happy with it. I love Google Earth, but see that the new version is only usable via Google Chrome, which, of course, they want you to install. If I do install Google Chrome, how "easy" and practical would it be for me to switch (permanently) back to Firefox, or to switch between Chrome and Firefox when not using Google Earth ? Thanks, Bob |

Thanks, Bob From what I understand there are two versions of Google Earth. One the "plugin" for a web browser which will no longer work on any thing except Chrome, and the other the standalone version. The stand a lone version works with out a web browser, and will continue to perform as in the past. If this is not the case, it is going to hurt, as I have near 100 pins in my standalone version of Google Earth. Unless the world changes significantly I will not giving up Firefox. -- 2017: The year we lean to play the great game of Euchre |
