Don't want a browser from Microsoft or Google. Tried Firefox, but thought it became a memory pig.

I need to look into a leaner browser anyway, though. I'm not sure I like where Opera is going.

The chromium version of MS Edge is pretty good. Just needed to add a plug-in for better bookmark handling.

The upcoming vertical tabs should be fun.
