Why I Use Several Browsers?

By the way, Vivaldi is a very good browser.

It lets you block ads!

I use Linux for my daily work.

It is a multitasking Operating system unlike Windows OP or Apple Mac.

I have several (usually one work space) work places in my desktop.

I am currently working on Ubuntu (my work horse is Debian Emmabantus) with two workplaces.

I am downloading Parrot OS through Transmission (my fvourite) and that I shifted it to second work place by holding on to the windows and dragging and dropping.

Parrot 6 Version is big and is 5.3GB and it has another 20 minute to finish downloading.Version 6 has problems and cannot be installed.

Coming back to browsers, Firefox let you have two or three instances running in the same work place but Opera gives you one instance, whereas Falcon gives me several instances of web visits.

Falcon comes from KDE  / Plasma desktop platform. I have lost interest in KDE due to its consumption of large memory resource.

Opera is fast whereas Firefox might even though fast may have lot of connections in one instance.

I use several emails and one email for one browser seems to be the industry standard.

Yahoo does open one instance and cannot be open in two different browser, simply  due to its robust security protocol.

After my scathing remarks, when I changed Hard Disk to bigger one, gmail did not let me sign in automatically (same NUC hardware but a larger hard disk) and asked for the passwords again for signing in.

However, both do not ask for my cellphone number which is in Ceylon.

These guys are snooping on you every second and are paranoid.

AI connectivity make it even more bizarre.

Yahoo of course tested me on a puzzle which I generally like since it boosts my sharpness and memory.

By the way, Ubuntu has Gnome Box in addition to Virtual Box where one can test the iso and run the browser. Generally speaking browsers get stuck in virtual machines.

I have tested all the Isos except Parrot OS (not complete in downloaded) on Ubuntu Gonome BOX and it a pleasing experience.

I do not have restart my NUC every time, I test a Linux Distribution.

One need to ask for Gnome Box not simple BOX as in a Debian Base to get it from application store of Flathub and FlatPak.

Still few more minutes to down load Parrot OS which is a very good penetration testing OS.

It is better than Kali.

Not that I do penetration testing, yet I keep copy in case someone ask for advice.

Oracle Virtual Machine is a pain in the Arxxxs!

I am not happy with any of the browsers except Falcon browser.

All of them have search engines which slows down the web service.

Additionally they are profit minded and not service minded or customer oriented.

So I use many browsers, if one get stuck due to heavy traffic I shift to another. 

I need speed and I cannot wait for even a second more than necessary.

I am a multitasking man browser should not hinder my activities.

1. I use browser to search my emails (I have many).

2. I use Google to test and meaning of words.

3. I use the browser to visit my blog post to make another blog piece.

4. I have made this year a "Penguin Year" and anything new on Linux I would post it here. 

5. Planning tow rite a book on Desktop types and their feature. I would not bother about Pantheism desktop of Elementary OS since it does not provide a FREE User Copy from their web site for me to test drive.

That is their problem and not mine.

What am doing here is FREE and perhaps constructive in intent.

They want money for Open Source Linux an irony by itself!

By the way, Vivaldi browser is 90% Open source and only 10% proprietary and there is no free copy in Debian Store.
