What you might not know about Chrome in Linux Lite. Linux Lite uses the newest version of Chrome i/e security updates from the Chrome devs are immediate, while with some other distros like like Mint, RHEL, or even Debian, Chrome updates can lag for awhile. Chrome just dropped a security update yesterday which Linux Lite 7 received immediately. I haven't checked, but with MS Edge I'm not sure this is true unless you run the dev version. Many users support using other browser alternatives like Brave or Vivaldi because they believe they are more secure when in fact you can harden Chrome with privacy settings probably more than any other browser and those alternatives often lag behind with general security updates because they are usually discovered by the Chrome devs. I don't see any actual system security reason to use another browser. All TOR does is put you on the map for government security and privacy invasions. The ONLY reason I use Firefox is because I can run BASH scripts from html documents more easily which in fact is less secure.

Thanks!
