Firefox is a great browser, but i find chrome works best for pretty much everything (in my own opinion of course, i use both of them and enjoy both of them) As for your broadband issue, i'm not exactly sure how metered broadband works (for this reason i'm going to assume it works something like mobile data). On a windows 10 computer, i do believe there is actually an option when you're in settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi or settings > Network & Internet > Ethernet click on the name of your connection, and turn on "metered connection" Which should give you more control over your bandwidth usage for that specific connection. Windows 10 as a whole is rather bandwidth heavy and to be quite honest i can't stand it, i'm still mainly using Win7 myself. Just to clarify i don't use Win10 very often so if any of my information is incorrect please forgive me.
Good luck Mouse!

Thank you Pestilence.

I get 20GB data allowance each month for a very cheap rate. I keep a careful eye on how much I've used each day because the tariff if I go over that amount is absolutely horrendous. I am currently running 1GB ahead of myself for this stage of my tariff month (which starts and ends on 21st of each month).

Win 10 has been set to metered broadband for a while now. That doesn't stop Win 10 downloading the first half a GB of whatever it is that it keeps trying to download automatically, every time I go online from Win 10. That particular OS has made of itself a dead donkey as far as I am concerned, and as soon as I can work out how to make all my apps work in Linux, Win 10 will cease to exist on my PC.

I would install Chrome on Linux, only I had it installed before in Win 8.1, only to uninstall it a few months later. I can't remember why I did that, but there must have been a pretty good reason. I don't generally uninstall an app unless its causing a major problem for me.

I have windows 7 and to monitor and control my bandwidth/broadband/whatever I used Netlimiter. There is a 30 days free trial but some of the functionality kept working even after the trial expired for some reason.
It let you limit the maximum transfer speed to whatever you want. You can also see what software is the most data heavy (download and upload).
I don't remember if it lets you stop a program from downloading anything.

I find my 120GB small but workable so I can't imagine 20Gb per month.

About Chrome, I agree with Pestilence. Ever since I stopped using IE (a few years ago) I have been using Firefox. While it's good, Chrome usually performs better. The gap is not large enough to justify installing it.
The reason I installed Chrome in the first place is because some sites didn't work properly in Firefox. Yesterday again, I had to use Chrome to access a website because Firefox only displayed a message error.

I'll try and join that!

Okay, I joined it for the first time tonight. Whilst tabbed out in PS though it seemed to lose the connection and the whole thing seems to be down. Is that my end or has the discord server gone down? Does this happen often?
I just don't know, I'm completely new to it.

You may need to run Discord as admin. There are some programs, generally games, were some functionality may stop working. If you are still having issues after doing that, I would put a ticket in with Discord support.

Ahhh, cool! I've been mostly on Discord nowadays. Finally joined now.

This seems nifty... I'll go ahead and join, since it'll probably help.
