Thanks X Secure,
Sorry, I just gave a forum search term, not a link, (I dont know how)there is plenty of info in the mentioned threads.
Waterfox is 64 bit only and had same hidden extensions, a feature I intensly dislike, as they may be remotely
usable, in my test it was using a lot of memory. That may have changed but it caused me to remove the package.
Palemoon is pretty memory efficient, the privacy policy clear and concise, no hidden extensions, search
is not sent to google as default. Firefox has that feature no matter which search engine you use.
We (Moddit is a group) use tor Browser bundle for many sites, it can in some cases get around geoblocking and thwart ad blocker blocking. I do not consider it very private, often my exit node is in Netherlands, most
likely run by an agency. My IP is Vodafone, Tier 1 Intelligence Provider for UK.
anilkagi: you said
I had thought FF to be the best, privacy protecting, secure, browser out there.
That is the dirty deceiving message, it is not. Others are probably worse though.

might interest you. hopefuly at some stage there will be a deb package available, at present it is more
a DIY effort. It is fast and efficient but not particularly comfortable, not yet anyway.
Now I know how to add a link 🙂
