    Yet another browser? Iridium

    Another Chrome clone, supposedly with Google heuristics turned off.

    If you want to try it:

    wget -qO - "https://downloads.iridiumbrowser.de/ubuntu/iridium-release-sign-01.pub" | sudo apt-key add -
    sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://downloads.iridiumbrowser.de/deb/ stable main"
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt-get install iridium-browser

    Interesting!

    I'm using Vivaldi and find it to be very good. I'm going to try out Iridium.

    PS- link broken
    Code:
    :~$ [B]wget -qO - [URL]https://downloads.iridiumbrowser.de/...se-sign-01.pub[/URL] | sudo apt-key add -[/B]

    It's because the editor is truncating the wget line and replacing stuff with an ellipsis. The download site is here.

      I'm posting this using Iridium. VERY fast. Ads on most pages disappear. Will probably encounter some websites that won't let you browse if you block 3rd party ads, but .... *shrug*.
      Reminds me of and is very similar to Vivaldi, which is my primary browser. You can add Chrome extensions.

      I added the "Mail this link" extension so that I can click that mail icon and it will create an email message with the title of the page in the subject line and the link in the body.

        I didn't notice that - fixed. Thanks Jerry.
