I eventually got the page to load fully, I don't know why it didn't work before as I had allowed the site and a number of others but still no poll list.

However, now the deed is done.

It is strange the disparity of the totals between the two polls.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.4.6112 (build 24.4.9067.762) UI 1.0.803/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

I had no problems with howtogeek either (specifically, having to post) -- the poll choices were right under those 4 logos near the top-left of page.  Can't have anything to do with Flash (unlikely anyway), since I've got that disabled in my Firefox.

I suspect reported problems here about accessing the poll may have discouraged members here from even trying -- the percentage of replies indicating avast seemed significantly lower than at dslreports.

It's important to note that the DSL Reports voters are quite tech savvy like you guys. You won't find the average granny and grandpa voting there which explains avast!'s high percentage.

Well I don't know where they were hiding the poll then I could see nothing on the page.
Yeah it took me a while before I figured out you have to click on the picture of the logos to go to the poll.
