if you don't mind a totally text browser with no bells or tracking download Alpine and run it. not all hosts will support something that is so basic but my Kubuntu runs it in a text (konsole) window have been using it for years. in fact that is what I am sending you this with. take care Bob On Wed, 13 Jan 2021, Kaj Haulrich wrote: > Now, since Mozilla has jumped on the thought police bandwagon to join Google, Twitter, Amazon and Facebook, I'm looking for alternative browsers and an e-mail clients to run on my (K)Ubuntu workstation.

Chromium and Brave are based on Google Chrome
I use alpine for my mail 99% of the time (there are a few emails that really do need html support to find the links in them) David Lang On Thu, 14 Jan 2021, ircsurfer wrote: > Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 00:04:38 +0000 > From: ircsurfer <[hidden email]> > To: [hidden email] > Cc: [hidden email] > Subject: Re: Replacements for Firefox and Thunderbird? > > what about Chromium for a browser? > > Sent from ProtonMail mobile > > -------- Original Message -------- > On Jan 13, 2021, 13:06, Bob wrote: > >> oh and a browser that is basic and has no tracking but no eye candy either >> is lynx also a standard kubuntu download. >> all text based and command line if that is ok, no GUI's >> unfortunately some sites that use java will not display correctly >> >> Bob >> >> On Wed, 13 Jan 2021, Kaj Haulrich wrote: >> >>> Now, since Mozilla has jumped on the thought police bandwagon to join Google, Twitter, Amazon and Facebook, I'm looking for alternative browsers and an e-mail clients to run on my (K)Ubuntu workstation.

Chrome, Brave and all the rest of the Blink-based browsers are based on Chromium, Chromium is the open source browser that Google takes, adds their proprietary bits and releases as Chrome On Wed, Jan 13, 2021, 8:45 PM David Lang <[hidden email]> wrote: Chromium and Brave are based on Google Chrome -- kubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users |
