Re: Browser replacement? (Solved, for now!)

has anyone tried this browser? https://www.comodo.com/email/browsers-t ... rowser.php
Support for MX and antiX Linux distros

I dunno, to me part of a good & secure browser also has to do with background & development. That's one of the reasons (for me anyway) why it's so hard to switch from Firefox or Opera, since those two have been tried 'n' true for many years. Google is by no means a privacy conscientous as some would like to believe, so neither Chrome nor Chromium are an option for me. My wife and I have been Online for over 20 years, so we take our email & browsing security pretty serious. Our connections to the Internet are all cabled, we would never sync any of our devices together, and we'd never store our stuff on the cloud either ... which is just another third party server that may or may not end up getting hacked one day. Some of the world's biggest banks & credit card companies have been hacked during the past 5 years, with account data of hundreds of millions of people being stolen. Just saying' ...System Requirements
Windows 8 / Windows 7 / Vista / XP, 128 MB RAM and 40 MB Hard Disk Space
Have you tried Waterfox?..I know I sound like a damn salesman for it, but I have no affiliation with the product whatsoever..I just found it to be an excellent replacement for Firefox in Windows and in MX..linwinux wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 10:31 am You're posting this in a Linux forum, even though it says right on the start page:

I use Startpage for both search and my home page. It is Google search without the Google spying:linwinux wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 2:50 am We like the Google search engine best out of the 4 biggest search engines out there (used to love Alta Vista), but that's the only "Google stuff" that we would intentionally allow in our house. I have no proof of this, but there's no doubt in my mind, especially considering the many service TOS agreement updates over the years, that actually repecting user privacy is not on the forefront of Google/Chrome's intentions.
Searx is my daily goto...You can even download the code and build your own search engine if desiredKBD wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 11:01 amI use Startpage for both search and my home page.
