Try Kiwi Browser and Yandex Browser.

Websites become less profitable

That's why I use AdNauseam (a fork of uBlock but with a nicer philosophy).

It isn't even open source. I don't trust it, but it's my primary browser because I love its customization stuff and because it's Chromium (I have a potato laptop and Gecko is known for higher memory usage).

Kiwi Browser and Yandex Browser lets you use any Chromium extension, and Firefox Nightly, with some hacks, lets you use any Firefox addon available on the webstore.

Firefox's stable version also comes with uBlock.

Flatpaks are slow and take more resources. It is only useful for the riches who can afford 16 GB+ RAM and TBs of storage.

Flatpak just sucks for us with potato level hardware. It is much slower and crashes. Some things just didn't work until I got mine built from source using AUR scripts. I had checked the memory usage, the flatpak version of EasyEffects took much more memory than the native one. I don't want Linux to become Windows with this Flatpak nonsense that wastes my desktop's resources more than it should. Whenever I played music with EasyEffects flatpak, my CPU usage went up literally 80%, but with the native build, EE now does not go beyond like 5% CPU.

Any package that will force me to use Flatpak, I simply won't use it at all, or find some workaround. I will not donate a single penny to the project itself, but I will to the one who found the workaround.

Maybe because it was free and you were hungry; who wouldn't love a burrito for free?

Yup, love the project. One thing that has forever kept me bothered is there not being any auto-save and/or persistent undo/redo; however it's been a while since I've checked out what's new in the newer versions, so perhaps my issue is already resolved.

Hello, I want you to know that Linux Mint has some issues:

  • Their site was hacked twice and a malware-infected ISO was being distributed.
  • They have a mixture of repositories where they get certain crucial things from Ubuntu's repositories; this can cause trouble.

That being said, you may want to give Ubuntu officials a try instead.

Yup. I am planning to occasionally post some India-related content here to gather more people to post stuff.

Hello! Thank you for your interest, I am appointing you as a moderator.

I think I have a task for you as well, I can do it myself, but maybe it will help you gather some experience. The task is to turn on NSFW from the community settings and write a rule in the description stating that no pornography is allowed. If you are facing any trouble, let me know.
