   Been using firefox for many years, but now I'm thinking about switching to
   https://iridiumbrowser.de/
   
   And set up my own sync server on my VPS so that I do not have to use google's syncing.
   
   You can run your own sync service for firefox also, but I'm wanting to switch away from firefox for a while. I'll test this the next days.

     @johnnynull Thanks, I did not know about that one, I knew Icecat, but not this one. I
     'll give pale moon a decent shot as well.

     @stigatle hmm, does not sound very trustworthy "Currently there are weeks between a new release of Iridium and Chromium. Please take this into consideration for your personal usage of the browser as you might be at risk when surfing unknown and potentially dangerous websites!"

     @marcus valid point, and that is for sure something to consider. I wonder how that is in the other browsers like Icecat and others.

     @stigatle e.g. Abrowser on trisquel did not work for weeks on i386 because the maintainer did not manage to push the new release which would have fixed the issue. This was really annoying cause during that time I had the X60 which is 32bit only. I remember that so clearly because I took this device as only device with me on holidays and I needed to work around with things like qupzilla (which is not that bad btw)

     @marcus Yeah I can see that being a problem. I do currently not have a proper browser that works on the mipsel platform, same crashes in debian \ gNewSense, I can use console and such, but no qt\firefox based browsers. So it's really hard to use that machine for anything other then the absolute minimum. Also support for mipsel will be dropped in a while.
     I will install OpenBSD on it soon, I hope that is more usable for the mipsel machine.
