After I ran the update above I helped out a neighbor with some pretty basic stuff.
The neighbor wants to create some documents with “announcements”, then put some
“pretty graphics” around it.I showed how to use an ordinary word processor; for us, that could be something
like LibreOffice, SoftMaker FreeOffice, or if it was really simple, abiword.In her case, she has an iPhone and an iMac laptop. The browser would be
Safari, unless she grabs Google Chrome. My wife got a few Google products
on her system, because Apple’s “Pages” word processor, though powerful, is
a confusing interface, full of options and choices, but “intuitive” is NOT
the word that either of us would use, so my wife got her Google Docs and
Google Chrome.Yesterday this same neighbor had more questions, so this morning after
checking a few Emails and checking in here, I went over to “help”. 90%
of what I did was basically a repeat of what my wife had already done.
There’s no way we can get any true Linux stuff; the closest we can get
to “free” is to replace the overly complicated Apple stuff with simpler
Google products.Today I showed her on my computer that I can run the same things from
my Firefox browser (or any other modern Web browser, for that matter).
Then I showed her how Docs has some pretty simple formatting tools,
similar to the ones we have in LibreOffice. Two hours later my final
words were, “Look, in order to remember any of this, you have to
actually USE it and experiment with it. The way to do that is to take
a usable document, make a copy, or several copies of it, then practice
with the copies. You won’t hurt the original unless you change it, but
if you make copies you can experiment, make mistakes, try again, copy
again, until you are comfortable with it”.Even here, we come with a wide variety of experiences. Some things
I know well, but there’s a lot I don’t know, particularly the latest
technologies and tools. I’ll probably start forgetting more and more
over time.The take away is that it’s important to SHARE and document what we’ve
learned, show tips, HOWTO documents, answer questions and be helpful.Some of my friends know a lot more than I do about hardware; they share
what they know and it helps.When you happen to learn something, please take notes and share it
with someone. If it has anything to do with computer technology
it may be relevant here. If it’s Linux, and especially if it’s
antiX, it’s definitely worth sharing; thankfully many people in
this forum are EXTREMELY helpful!--

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhanced-h264ify/OK, now I “see” what you are saying.
I have been testing these browsers just “out of the box.”
What you are saying is that with some of these browsers, one has to manually fine tune specific settings to get the maximum performance.
I guess that is why I have mainly used the chromium-type browsers because they give the best performance just out of the box.
Manually fine tuning these settings will be new for me. It will be a learning curve and will take some time for me.
Thanks for sharing this information.
I think it will be useful for many people besides me.

I tried to look at your earlier link about mesa-amber. How does one install this mesa-amber because I could not find an install candidate in the debian repos.

In a previous post of mine, I tested the use of several browsers with the 6.1 liquorix kernel and the 6.1 antiX kernel.
Now I want to add data to include the use of the same browsers with the latest 5.10 antiX kernel.I downloaded these latest browsers:
chromium 110.0.5481.177-1
firefox-esr 102.8.0esr-1
google-chrome-stable 110.0.5481.177-1
palemoon 32.0.0-1.gtk3.mx21
seamonkey amd64 2.53.15~mozillabinaries-1mx21+1For each of these tests, I watched the youtube video on each of these browsers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS_VW8pdIec
For each browser, I waited until the CPU % stabilized and recorded the CPU %.
Then I rebooted to reset the computer for the next test.These are my results:
liquorix 6.1.13-1 kernel antiX 6.1.10 kernel antiX 5.10.173 browser CPU % CPU % CPU % chromium 23 % 36 % 42 % firefox-ESR 55 % 65 % 71 % google-chrome 20 % 32 % 37 % palemoon 87 % 88 % 94 % seamonkey 82 % 48 % 70 % mpv (360p) 8 % 10 % 10 %The chromium browsers performed best on both the liquorix and the antiX kernels.
Palemoon did not perform well on any of these kernels.
MPV at 360p resolution was consistent on all these kernels.
The 6.1 antiX kernel seems to consistently perform better than the 5.10 antiX kernel on all these browsers.This is my test system:

Now I’m back with antiX 23, also using Ungoogled Chromium.
As I typically do with my other system, since I use Web browsers a lot, I test them regularly,
and I use the release version and one or two development versions too.With Firefox, I have the ESR (Extended Support Release) that we’ve been including,
and I have my own copies of the current Firefox Release Browser, the
Firefox Developer Edition Browser, and the Firefox Nightly Browser.At a minimum, these are the ones that I regularly test as I update each system.
On some systems, I include various other browsers. On antiX 23 Alpha 1,
I also have the SeaMonkey Browser, the Dillo browser that we include to read documentation,
and the aforementioned Ungoogled Chromium. All are working fine today.--

Do you want to edit the Firefox browser like tabs, taskbar, sidebar, menu… or you want to edit the web page itself like “google.com”?
If you what to to edit the web-page CSS you need to install Stylus add-on, if so tell me what do you to edit and I will try to help you, and on witch website.
You can check out some of my styles https://userstyles.world/user/oren64

For what it’s worth, I can remember when I was using graphical window environments before the fully packaged concepts that became known as Desktop Environments. Perhaps the first one of all was either Enlightenment, if you acknowledge it as a complete Desktop Environment, or Xfce, in it’s initial configuration, before it adopted the current Gtk libraries. KDE very closely followed Xfce; they were close enough that it’s difficult to “call” which one was first. GNOME followed about a year later, at least in complete form.
The thing that the early desktop environments offered that was missing from other GUI configurations, at least from my recollection, was drag and drop capability. I note this because I was a UNIX user, developer, and administrator during the time the X Window System was introduced, then the Motif interface was introduced. Motif had a lot of features, but it wasn’t referred to as a Desktop Environment. Shortly thereafter, the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) was created, and another collaboration between AT&T and Sun Microsystems produced UNIX System V combined with Sun “Solaris”; these were the early UNIX desktop environments. Five to eight years later, depending on your counting point, the various Linux and free software alternatives reached common use.
Quoting one source –
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=What+distinguishes+a+window+manager+from+a+desktop+environment%3F“A desktop environment (DE) usually rides on top of a Window Manager and adds many features, including panels, status bars, drag-and-drop capabilities, and a suite of integrated applications and tools. In fact, user opinions on operating systems are typically based on one thing: the Desktop Environment.”

Hi all, have no way to check right now, if ungoogled chromium in the installer is coming from the Debian OBS build repo
If so it will remain hopelessly out of date as the builds are unmaintained from 10.2022. And should be considered insecure.Presently there are up to date debs available from.
https://github.com/berkley4/ungoogled-chromium-debian/releasesWhich is forked from ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-debian
From Debian WIKI: Debian Builds
berkley4 maintains Debian builds of Ungoogled Chromium. Binaries can be downloaded from the ungoogled-chromium-debian ?GitHub project.Only ungoogled-chromium_*.deb is mandatory. The other debs can optionally be installed if necessary.
To install the package, run: apt install ./ungoogled-chromium_*.deb
————————————————————————————-
From the OBS Repo
As of 2022-07-02 19:19:07, The packages in the OBS repo and the unportable builds
are out of date, have maintenance issues and use an older version of ungoogled-chromium.
Consider using an alternative browser like Firefox, Brave or the flatpak version.Nope
Up to date Portable and Appimage versions are available from
https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/
They are not official builds, I have found no issues with them over months of usage.A Fatpack is also available from
https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.Eloston.UngoogledChromiumI intensly dislike fatpack (flatpack)as it is not easy to open for inspection and huge…
The quoted Appimage and Portable builds are both easy to unpack and checked.
Run in the same way as a fresh firefox from Moz, which is also a portable build.Plenty of further info on install here in the forum.

Concerning web browsers in antiX23 alpha 1:
I wanted to test the use of web browsers in this alpha 1 test system on an older two-core CPU system.
I downloaded these latest browsers:
chromium 110.0.5481.177-1
firefox-esr 102.8.0esr-1
google-chrome-stable 110.0.5481.177-1
palemoon 32.0.0-1.gtk3.mx21
seamonkey amd64 2.53.15~mozillabinaries-1mx21+1For each of these tests, I watched the youtube video on each of these browsers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS_VW8pdIec
For each browser, I waited until the CPU % stabilized and recorded the CPU %.
Then I rebooted to reset the computer for the next test.These are my results:
liquorix 6.1.13-1 kernel antiX 6.1.10 kernel browser CPU % CPU% chromium 23 % 36 % firefox-ESR 55 % 65 % google-chrome 20 % 32 % palemoon 87 % 88 % seamonkey 82 % 48 % mpv (360p) 8 % 10 %The chromium browsers performed best on both the liquorix and the antiX kernels.
Palemoon and seamonkey did not perform well on the liquorix kernel.
Palemoon did not perform well on the antiX kernel.
Seamonkey performed well on the antiX kernel.This is my test system:

I also find that chrome uses less memory than firefox. Chrome also works for 100% of webpages, same can’t be said of firefox. I still prefer the look and feel of firefox. For instance, the full screen implementation in firefox is vastly superior.
I’ll have to check again with Google Chrome. It may start up with fewer resources, but it quickly grows, and I’ve seen it grow even larger than what I see with Firefox.
The UngoogledChromium in particular definitely uses fewer resources than either Firefox or Google Chrome.
As you say, for many things, I also prefer Firefox and I’ve been using it since it first became a Mozilla family browser.
I also maintain my own copies of the current release, either a Beta or Developer Edition, and a Nightly Edition, and I keep them completely under my own personal management and control.--

Mozilla is not better just another security hole..
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox/Since google was founded as alphabet by cia, what does anyone expect.
US is one of the 5 eyes founders and spies on the world. I think we can
safely assume vunerabilitys/backdoors are in many cases intended but at
times inconveniently found by the other side or found by researchers and
bountys paid to give the impression privacy is an aim… -
