It all depends on your "threat model".
but if all you want is browsing safe from anyone at the cafe, then
1. Enable DNS over HTTPS aka DoH (protec DNS requests).
2. Any proxy or VPN is better than webpage ones like startpage's.

Re: Calibrating permissions
Except for ~/.thunderbird I am now almost done making the script that fixes permissions for all files and folders that has to come from my backup, when I do a new MX install.
It is all hard coded for my tree so it is not worth sharing, and permissions can be an endless discussion, but if someone ...

Re: Calibrating permissions
Can the reason for the problem be that the external SSD solid USB drive has been formatted by Windows 10 ?
I can't change the file permissions with Thunar on the USB drive, not even as root.
But after restoring on the target computer I can.
You're very close to the answer.
This usuallly ...

I also recommend xsct.
Unbeatable simplicity.
'apt info xsct'
Unbeatable simplicity.
'apt info xsct'
The xsct tool sets the color temperature of the screen via xrandr like
redshift. Unlike redshift, it is only 80 lines of C and will not change
the screen temperature automatically.

Re: Links to instant free music.?
I wouldn't run ANY browser extensions that are closed-source.
That said one of my all-time favorite addons is "LibRedirect" it will redirect popular sites to "open/alternative frontends".
When I go to a youtube link it redirects to an "Invidious" frontend and most instances have a "Download" button ...

Re: File Managers / Search Tools
It does have an image preview! top bar->View->Side Pane->Check "Image Preview".
In Catfish I don't find a top bar only a search field and related preferences. Where to configure it?
Whoops! my bad! You asked about Catfish, my instructions were for Thunar, apologies.
In CATFISH click the ...

Strong encryption and no-log policy with 3000+ servers in 60+ countries. lol

Re: install RStudio in MX Linux 23 unmet dependencies [Solved]
If 'libssl1.1' is the only dependency thats missing here, try:
wget 'http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1n-0+deb11u5_amd64.deb'
sudo dpkg -i ./libssl1.1_1.1.1n-0+deb11u5_amd64.deb
That is excellent, is this a clean install that will update ...

Re: Does anyone know why Docklike taskbar only shows a cogwheel with no ability to pin certain programs?
You are able to pin it now? Is your issue resolved? Or is the icon still a "cog"? If so open "catfish" and search for "buildgdx" and set file type on left to "images" and see if any icons show up usually .svg's. Icons may also be stored in "/home/username/.local/share/icons/themenames"
