I like Palemoon, but it has become unusable.

Google and EVERYTHING it touches is evil, IMHO.

you definitely don’t want to say yes to firefox. they have sold out. there has been recent news where they are all in about suppressing “fake” news and internet censorship. gave them up after they pushed out the creator over his support for prop 8.

And Linux. My 6 year old laptop with Linux is 5 times faster than my 2 year old laptop running Windows 10.

Just for everyone’s information - Verizon Wireless only uses Google for their work computers.

My wife and I prefer Opera, which comes with a free VPN.

Opera (like so many other browsers) actually runs on Chrome.

Everything else is just window dressing.

Unfortunately, the Chinese are majority stakeholders in Opera, as of 2016.

“I like Palemoon, but it has become unusable.”

I used palemoon way back when.
But I have gone to Linux Mint Cinnamon as part of my effort to clean out the cockroach and leech infestation. Here’s all the open source stuff I use:

Linux Mint Cinnamon
Apache web server
PHP
MariaDB the Mysql clone
Net Beans Java programming.
Libre Office
Blender for 3D printing modeling and Video editor
Brave browser
Audacity
Bluefish for html
Rosegarden
Hydrogen drms
DVDstyler for DVD creation

Open source all the way baby. That’s a ton of money saved. And more secure.
