I tried Vivaldi for a while but ended up not using it much, so it wasn't worth the updates.īrave some years ago seemed to be in a slew of Android-only browsers (Dolphin, etc.) This new Chromium-based cross-platform version apparently requires installing an Ubuntu PPA with a set of unusually convoluted terminal commands, which raises a question how well it will work on Mint.
It's an old tablet (2012) but Brave did install and runs well on it. On my Android tablet, Opera is a lot worse than it used to be, from a usability standpoint. At that time I deleted Chromium, but I'm not sure it was advisable.
I installed Google Chrome on Linux Mint so I can run Facebook Messenger for video chat with friends. I've created a live USB for testing the new Xubuntu 12.04, and will try this alongside Vivaldi on that (alongside the recent RAW editor releases I use) in considering next steps. I get no ego satisfaction or joy from using the Linux Terminal or chasing down "issues" or workarounds. If it's serious about Ubuntu-based Linux it should clean that up with a simple install package or get itself into the official repository. deb package to install, and goes into the repository after that.īrave some years ago seemed to be in a slew of Android-only browsers (Dolphin, etc.) This new Chromium-based cross-platform version apparently requires installing an Ubuntu PPA with a set of unusually convoluted terminal commands, which raises a question how well it will work on Mint/Ubuntu. I have been trying the new Vivaldi, pretty good off the bat and seems to work on all OSs. I use Firefox on PC but dislike it on mobile, so have installed Edge but there's no Linux. For years Opera was best all around, but it's now suspiciously Chinese owned, and even less appealing than Chrome for "real me" interaction. Chrome / Chromium does all and I use it as the silo for Google services, but won't give it anything personal. My basic criteria are full features, cross-platform, full sync of settings and liking the interface.
I'm using Android browsers more, in preference to installing bloated and resource draining apps, but am still mainly concerned with PC use - Mint is my daily driver with residual Win 7 as needed.
