Can the Ghostery Dawn Browser be added?

[kd4e]

Is this helpful to evaluate if it would be compatible with MX Linux 21?

It's a commercial product, isn't it?

It's a commercial product, isn't it?

I just did a search for it Jerry and watched part of a youtube vid on it (made about 12 months ago). It seems to me that whilst there is a "free" version it may have ads in one form or another and they appear to offer paid subscriptions. So it does seem it's a commercial product in that sense. As one poster to the aforementioned vid stated, he/she could with not a great lot of effort (by adding appropriate extensions to FFox I expect) achieve much of what Ghostery promises.

Looks to be under an MPL license. See: https://github.com/ghostery

According to this review the addons for the commercial version don't add much for the typical user.

So that I can decide how to proceed ...

Is the answer Yes, No, or Maybe ... please?

I personally don't see why it needs to be added in order to test it. The command given on the GitHub site to do a Linux install works quickly (just copy and paste in a terminal) and ends in the command you need to run it

Code: Select all

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ghostery/ghostery-browser-linux-support/main/install-ghostery.sh | bash

In case you don't know, you need to right click in the terminal to paste what you copied.

Haha ... it pays to ask the smart folk!

Your instructions worked just fine.

(BTW: I press the roller to cut and paste for this purpose.)

I'll stress it some to see if I experience the freezing error some have described elsewhere.

Thanks!
