A Chromium-based browser. I heard about it this week so putting out there to see what people think and see what people know about it.

Two web links:

KP: Here is what I found doing a quick Web search:

“Among other things, it eliminates the popular keyword suggestions in the address bar because, for them to exist. Google absolutely receives all the searches and addresses you enter. It also removes a URL crawler that includes Chrome.”

For Linux too:

It looks that there may be versions for Windows, macOS and Linux:

Tested this a few months back and in the past but, the version control is waaaayyy behind Chromium, Chrome or Edge (security) although the dev(s) seem to have caught up on things lately, albeit still lagging. Definitely not a browser for inexperienced/ non security conscious.
Best thing about this browser is their own bespoke utility to export all settings/favorites/extensions once setup and re-introduce to a different device..that was painless and saved a whole lot of time, ideal for multiple setups. other than that 6/10 from me.

Windows - commercial by definition and now function...
