OK. I treat my laptop as 'expendable' anyway when it comes to experiments.
8-]  I'll check on how long the test mpeg-dash example will remain. And if
there is long enough for me to be able set up recording the results I'll
install Chrome there and see what happens.

Or Chromium / Opera as Clive suggests. Can anyone summarise the
differences? If not I'll do a search on the web. But it would be
interesting to hear comments from anyone wary about Google's tendency to
snoop and track.
