Looking for a stripped and bare browser that uses very little CPU/Memory (more details below!)
FWIW, I found https://minbrowser.org/ and it uses very little CPU/Memory, but it uses DuckDuckGo and I prefer to use Google as my search engine... Also I do not think it supports installation of extensions?...

My thoughts about Opera One | Reviewing some other browsers on the way too
I tried Min, I found it both appealing and confusing at the same time. It has a minimalist design and it simply looks amazing, but it has a massive drawback: It is TOO MUCH minimalist, you get confused using it, also because it's very unintuitive to use at first. It's also one of the slowest I've ever seen (on Windows, idk about Mac), even without extensions (because yeah, even if it's Chromium-based, you can't download any extensions). I guess if dev's increase it's performances, add extension's compatibility, and make it less confusing, it would be a pretty good browser, but for now, it sleeps in my trashcan.

Easiest way to install CachyOS with normal firefox
In the CachyOS installation itself you can select to install Firefox. I hope they leave that firefox fork behind and do something super-vitaminized with Min Browser. I think they could improve a lot making custom userscripts

Just received this email. Never happened before. Seems to be legit. Am I right to be concerned?
Some browsers (such as Min Browser) don't have a status bar like Firefox or Chrome to preview the target (it can only be displayed in the context menu).

What is this browser?
I know it is not but the browser reminded me https://minbrowser.org/

Why is it so hard to change Chromium's UI?
You can use Min, Fluid or any browser with full screen mode to have the same effect.

Slow Browser Issue
With 4GB of RAM I would recommend that you use the ESR version or some lightweight fork like Waterfox that I've been testing these days. Is really lighter and can use Firefox Sync. But it has his problems. I would prefer to go with ESR and deactivating smooth scrolling if I was you.

Rethinking Window Management in Gnome
> I wish Unity didn't die
Hi from Unity on Ubuntu 23.04.
I am running the Unity flavour:
https://ubuntuunity.org/
It uses the latest Unity 7.7, released earlier this year:
https://gitlab.com/ubuntu-unity/unity-x/unityx
I run it on 3 or 4 machines, one of which has 2 screens and one of which has 3. Works great, scales well, handles modern Ubuntu just fine.
I use it with the Waterfox browser, which integrates natively with the Unity global menu bar, without any addons or config. I am currently on -- (hits alt-H, A) -- version 5.1.9.

Waterfox or Librewolf ?
I've made sure security updates have now been available ASAP for quite a while now. G5.1.9 released on Monday, for example. This is a day before Mozilla, but mostly because Mozilla spend a day or two doing QA.

Trinity Desktop Environment â a modern KDE3 fork
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1201/extend-panel-men...
Of course, GNOME broke it in a later release. This is why no amount of extensions are an answer: they break. Extensions do not work from one release of GNOME to another, and when they fail, the whole desktop often fails.
> Also, itâs not really Gnomeâs fault that linux doesnât have as great metadata from apps to be able to display the appsâ menubars (unity could do it).
False. Gtk exposes this; Unity didn't have stored metadata on lots of apps, it just displayed the existing controls' contents somewhere else. If you run brand new Gtk apps on Unity today, they get panel menus. This was not some clever hack.
Unity is still around:
https://unityd.org/
The distro is back again:
https://ubuntuunity.org/
Brand new apps, like Waterfox, integrate with it fine although they did not exist when it was written.

> With all due respect, that is bullshit reasoning. Selectively displaying useful things is the whole point of UIs.
I disagree.
1. I want to choose what is shown or not. In order to choose, I have to be able to see it. In other words, it needs to be there at first, and then I can choose whether I want to show it or not.
If I can't see it in the first place, then how am I to know it's there?
It's the users' choice what is shown or not. It is not up to the developer to say "they don't need to see this and I'm going to hide it away."
Any piece of software that does that is user hostile.
> Otherwise why would you roll up your window?
Again: it's my choice. I get to choose. It's my computer. They are my windows. I choose if they are shown or not.
That is the point of free software: Choice.
GNOME says it's free, but it takes choices away from me. I object to that.
> Why do you have menus in the first place that hide their content until clicked?
To save space for my document. You can't show everything all the time: that is why you leave it up to the user to choose what they show and when.
(Incidentally, this is also why in my opinion the Microsoft ribbon based fluent interface fails. It tries to show far too much all at once, and the result is that it wastes a huge amount of screen space, and is actually more difficult to hunt through for what I need when I need it.)
> That is no longer the corner, so it doesnât benefit from this law at all.
False.
Fitt's law is about target size.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27s_law#Implications_for...
It is not about corners. It is about edges too.
By the way I do have a clue about this stuff... for example here is a screenshot of a piece of software which I designed about a dozen years which makes use of Fitt's Law.

> The super key is the same as the windows, or the mac command key.
So, yes, but those environments don't suddenly change your entire screen.
> Also often called Meta.
That is a different key. Meta and super are not interchangeable.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_key
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_key_(keyboard_button)
> Whatâs the problem here exactly? Is alt+f4 written over the screen? Or ctrl+c? Especially that the same behavior is expected from the windows start menu.
The problem here, as I'm attempting to spell out, is that there were existing conventions for this stuff, and GNOME does not respect them.
> Itâs a community for its users. You clearly donât use it nor contribute to it either by work or financially, so it is not really fair to ask someone else to work for you specifically..
No. What I do is, I write about it for a living. I analyse this stuff, I draw comparisons, I point out weaknesses and strengths. That's my job.
In my professional capacity, the GNOME foundation invited me to its GUADEC conference about six or seven years back. I asked a lot of awkward and difficult questions, because that's my job, and I didn't get invited back.
> Literally every OS and distro suck at it.
False. For example, using most other interfaces, such as XFCE, I can treat a multiscreen desktop as one big space. I can have one panel at the far left, and one on the far right, of the entire multi-monitor desktop.
But GNOME doesn't let me do that.
Why not?
> Nonetheless, I feel you are reasoning from a very biased point
Because I disagree with you, you think that I'm biased?
Do you think that everyone who disagrees with you is biased?
Have you considered that perhaps I have opinions, and can draw upon years of knowledge and experience, and make reasoned arguments based on evidence, and that is not the same thing as being biased?
> I donât think it is as fruitful a discussion.
So because I can counter your arguments with examples and reasoning, you don't think that it's fruitful discussion?
Personally, I think that the arguments where people can defend their points, and produce evidence to back them up, are the most fruitful kind.
