Hi guys,
It's been a while since my last post. Actually that's a good thing; Zorin has been awesome! I wanted to ask for help regarding linux web browsers and, specifically, Opera. My PC is a family PC and my wife prefers Chrome (I prefer Firefox). Since the linux version of Chrome is no longer supported, she's looking for a new browser. Security is her main concern followed closely by multimedia out of the box. I downloaded Opera from the Software Center (I'm currently using Zorin OS 9) and it appears to work fine. However, there seems to be a newer version on the Opera homepage, one which includes features like VPN. So, I have two questions for the experts:
1. What are your thoughts on Opera and is there something better out there such as Chromium?
2. Should I download Opera from the homepage versus the Software Center? If I do, is there a bunch of stuff that I have to worry about like setting up repositories, etc.
Thank you in advance for the help. You guys are great!
Best regards,
kengator
