Brave or any other browser besides Firefox....
Re: Brave or any other browser besides Firefox....
Awww...not much love for Pale Moon, for which I maintain the MX packages from source with increasing difficulty.
MXPI = MX Package Installer
QSI = Quick System Info from menu
The MX Test repository is mostly backports; not the same as Debian testing

I don't really use Pale Moon anymore. Nothing wrong with the browser, but they had some problems with Cloudflare tightening the screws and thus making life more difficult for small browsers.
I didn't like their move to AVX, because I think their biggest strength is low-end computers. They have a unique advantage being single process and consuming less RAM because of it. Now, because of AVX they have higher minimum required specs than Chrome and company. Doesn't make sense to me. I'll keep it installed as long as SSE2 builds are available.
Re: Brave or any other browser besides Firefox....
Since I compile Pale Moon from source code for our repositories, the packages in MX main are all SSE2. You have to upgrade to the AVX build in the test repo to get that feature (i.e., just upgrade the amd64 palemoon from test). This also means I have been able to provide i386, armhf, and arm64 native builds, which are no longer supported by the official Pale Moon binaries.dreamer wrote: ↑Fri Apr 25, 2025 3:40 pmI don't really use Pale Moon anymore.

Better not use Bleachbit.
Why not to use Bleachbit?
Re: Brave or any other browser besides Firefox....
Ungoogled-chromium, when used with antiX / MX ad blocker (a hosts file so no ads are downloaded, less cache to clear) is every bit as nimble and quick as any browser. I use it instead of Brave now. I played with Midori as well, but it's still got issues and lacks features.
Re: Brave or any other browser besides Firefox....
Mybe the following question relates also to this topic of Browsers:
What and how many browsers to use for privacy compartmentalization? For example
- Chromium for gmail, google translate, youtube
- librewolf for other websites accounts, apart Google, like forum.mxlinux.org
- maybe another browser for browsing the internet, or it is not necessary (can be used one of the above)?

Don't you use Youtube, or Gmail? Maybe one can get rid of Gmail, but Youtube? This is a hard one.Pretty Vacant wrote: ↑Mon Apr 28, 2025 6:19 amLooking for privacy safety and at the same time use all that google crap??? Not sure what you are about!?
