If it's available in the "official" channels, I would suggest maybe checking if it could be a contender to replace FireFox.
sudo apt install chromium-browser
NB: the command sudo apt install chromium will install a game with the same name.
The same thing concerns Epiphany-browser (the default browser in Gnome): the command sudo apt install epiphany-browser will install the browser, the command sudo apt install epiphany will install a game. So, don't mix them up!
Quote:I Like FF but and I may be wrong but I did a few personnal tests and the new-ish engine in FireFox now seam to use more memory than Chromium, even if advertised otherwise. And the browser seems "heavy" on lower end machines(?). I didn't check the exact download file size but seams about the same.
Yes! Besides, I can't get onto the FF addons page. To add an extension to FF has become a big problem. Does it happen only to me, or do other users have the same problem? And what is more important for users from different countries, FF can't translate web-pages and no one (not English) will be able to translate manuals on this site. And some of the potential LL-users may go away for some other distro. Chromiun-browser can translate pages, FF can't. And Chromium is lighter - just the thing for LL.
The first thing I do after installing a distro is sudo apt purge --autoremove firefox
