Am I sure UC is completely private? No, but then towards the end I had uneasy feelings about FF’s privacy drift – telemetry, etc. Via the flags a lot of customisation is possible, though not as much as FF customisation. UC is privacy-focused and updates as Chromium gets updated. I have now installed Ungoogled Chromium because I do like the performance of this type of browser. ![]() Nevertheless, there was no update since I installed it, which made me uneasy. It is blazing fast and a pleasure to work with. Someone on this forum once mentioned Dissenter, which I installed and tried out for a few months. I still follow the Ghacks site, despite its focus on Windows, articles about browsers and something as simple as the weather are worth it.Īnd, talking about browsers, FF was my primary browser but I got fed up with the antics and the uncertainty about their future direction. Having got used to the Apple way of doing things and the different keyboard shortcuts (my favourite navigation system) I must say I am very happy. Well, the Apple bug got me too so I also bought myself a Macbook Air. Sheer heaven after her Win shenanigans, which I will not go into. I had to buy my wife a new laptop, did not want to buy a Win-based one, and Linux Mint, though it is good still requires a bit too much attention for someone like her. ![]() For the latter, Artix, based on Arch but very user-friendly, is probably a good bet. I tried some other distros too because I thought the best long term strategy would be to have a rolling release distro. ![]() I was very happy and impressed with it, despite some people’s disgruntlement (to put it mildly) with “systemd”. I could see Win 10 looming on the horizon for me (my laptop was getting old), so I took the plunge and went for Linux Mint. In the last quarter of 2018 I ditched Windows for good ( Win 8.1 was my last version) because I got fed up with MS’s sloppy updates, patches, and patches for patches, and, more troubling, their extremely sloppy procedure with Win 10. Nevertheless, that is not an excuse for such poor manners on my side. ![]() The year is off to a very rocky start – Iran – so my mind is really focused on that for now. Hawack: my sincere apologies for not having wished a friend all the best for 2020.
