• Orion’s Early Beta Has Launched on Linux via Flatpak

  

  I’ll admit that I tried the original Orion Browser a very long time ago when I read about it somewhere (I forget where exactly) on macOS back when it was still called OS X. In short, Orion Browser is supposed to be a WebKit-based browser from Kagi, a search engine, that has a lot of…

• Updates Involving Brave and Uphold

  

  Here’s another short entry, although this time it’s going to be a brief follow-up regarding my attempts to get help from both Brave Support and the Uphold Team. I’m Back On Brave! I kid you not, but less than 30 minutes after my post on why I stopped using Brave went up, Brave Support actually…

• I Only Used Brave for 5 Days. Here’s Why.

  

  It’s exactly as the title says; I switched to Brave Browser for only five days for my regular browsing. I originally wrote about how I planned to switch for seven days, and I tried my best to take full advantage of the browser. Sadly, I ran into persistent, grating snags repeatedly, so I eventually gave…

  I’ve been a bit busy with a few things as of late, including personal matters as well as the next major submission for the blog. It’s coming and will be ready in due time. Until then, here’s a brief one. I was reminded of the existence of Brave Browser once again in the past few…

• Revisiting (and Returning To) Vivaldi Browser

  

  The Mid-Aughts: Switching from Internet Explorer to Firefox I’ve used web browsers just like anybody else who’s touched a computer in the past two decades, but it was only around the mid-2000s when I started to actually pay some attention to internet browsers in general.

• Why I Use Microsoft Edge on Linux

  

  I have an unusual confession to make. If the title didn’t give it away, I’ll just say it now: I actually use Microsoft Edge regularly on Linux. You may wonder why I even bother using it, especially after everything I said about switching from Windows to Linux. It seems like madness to even bother using…
