    Anyone here use Torch browser? I've used it for quite some time without issue, it's basically a hacked Chrome browser with built in torrent and video downloaded features. Today it started giving me SSL security errors, on all computers. Re-installed with same error. Many sites with HTTPS (secure) now give privacy error and do not load. It's as if some SSL module within Torch has expired today. I was always a little concerned about security on this slightly shady looking browser and never did any banking or anything like that with it.

    Anyone know of a fix, can someone test torch and confirm? Also if you know of other alternatives to the big three browsers, and would you have security concerns with lesser known browsers?

    I re-downloaded Torch from their website today and it is now working. They have updated it to Ver. 55, I was on Ver. 53. SSL privacy errors are gone now. One bit of weirdness, adblock plus extension now causes Youtube home page to not load. I have to use adblock (not plus) and disable it for youtube home page. (sigh) whatever!
