I can’t imagine much has to be done out of the box to surf. I’m pretty sure you could install your browser of choice.
I did put Brave on it. Thing is, it’s windows 10 which I hate with a red hot passionate hatred. A couple of freeqers posted links to two different methods to undo some of the worst 10 features and so DH is going to do that as he does not trust my tech savvy. I could probably do it but because it’s his laptop I gotta let him do it. Probably tommorrow as it will be 99 and too hot to work outside most of the day.
So probably 1 or 2 more days of the hand cranked thing.
