Most of the browsers that have the above compatibility, are also compatible with Linux/Ubuntu. FF, SeaMonkey, Opera etc.

All decent browsers though Pale Moon is different than most. I have Chromium(pre google Chrome) installed but never use it. I run FF Dev edition, Brave and Waterfox every day(I like tabs, lots of tabs) and Falkon(linux only) occasionally.

Yeah, I stopped reading the article when I realized they completely ignored Linux. WTF.

Even a Microsoft fanboi journalist isn't THAT stupid.

A few months ago, I changed from Waterfox to Opera - a MUCH better experience especially on memory usage.

Just wanted to share that I am testing Iridium browser for Linux now. An unhooked Chromium base from what they say. It is a Debian distribution but is working great on my Mint 20. Command line install worked flawlessly. It let me add my NoScript and Ghostery extensions and they are working as they should be. They are based out of Germany which is a positive, and when I hit their site with my NoScript they have no third party API or tracking scripts, only the domain it’s self. Another positive. :)

Something interesting and another positive. I switched my default search engine to DDG in the settings and I am actually getting much better search results than normal from the DDG. No injected ad listings at all. And very good results. This is something I have not gotten from DDG in several years now no matter what browser I was using, and even with NoScript and Ghostery. So that means it is blocking DDG’s own API scripts for a change. I like that too.

If you are interested I will update how it goes? I did find out that “Google safe browsing” is on by default and needs to be turned off in the advanced security settings. This completely unhooks it from Google and the Iridium servers.
