OK. Now to reply to bitsnpcs, TMG1961, and paul1149.
I also tried using Konqueror a long time ago. I distinctly recall not having a pleasant experience with it. I remember there were several websites that just weren't rendered correctly and several more that wouldn't load at all. It has a use, but I don't think it's as a regular, daily, primary browser.
I've never used TOR browser. I know it exists, but have never installed it at all.
SlimJet gets yet another vote from TMG1961. It seems there is a following for SlimJet on this forum if nowhere else. One I may need to try.
You're absolutely correct, paul1149. There is no way any Linux distro would ever suffer the installation problems that Windows does. I can still recall all the garbage that I'd find in the Registry on computers I was trying to fix for customers. Towards the end of my computer career I spent about 75% of my time doing nothing but fresh installs on PCs that were just ate up with everything from viruses to worms, to overly congested Registries. The average user usually had a few word docs and then a varying amount of photos on their PCs. It was a whole lot easier to just copy the things they wanted to keep onto either a CD/DVD, or drag them across my network to one of my files servers, then wipe the hard drive clean and do a nice, fresh install. The customers were overly appreciative when they got their PCs back running just like when new.
I hadn't really thought about trying the browsers while running a Live version of Lite. That's an idea I might very well try. I know everything would be a bit slower that way, but I would really only want to see the basics of the browser anyway. Yeah, that's a great idea!
