Chrome and Chromium are two different browsers.

Brendan Eich, the guy forced out as CEO of Mozilla for his contribution to the pro-marriage amendment in California has started a new browser, Brave, you may want to try.
I just put it into my home computer and so far so good, though still a little light on features.

I also use Opera-mini on my phone. Works well. And I think it is still supported, as I get periodic updates on it.

I tried the Brave browser a few weeks ago. There was so much that had not been implemented yet that I gave up on it.

I use Pale Moon on desktop as well. No problems and all the features that I want, without the politics.
On Android I’ve been using Opera for years. I very much prefer it to other mobile browsers. I really dislike the other mobile browsers, especially Chrome. I just don’t get all the love for mobile chrome. I will be watching this sale carefully.

"The original developers quit and started up their own company to create a more modern browser that was based on the older Opera. It is called Vivaldi and I think it is now available for download."
Thanks for the tip. The Vivaldi download can be found here:

Thanks for the link! I have been on their mailing list, but I wasn’t aware that they had a linux version. I will have to see if it will work on my chipset (ARM v7 I think, a Raspberry PI 3b). If it works I will let you all know...
