Internet use on the Pi

A lot of people like about it giving inbuilt add blocker the standard form of Chromium  with all the adds or other issues made by  Google for why it should load very fast for  you ,it kind of reminds me of using the older browsers before it became all about the ads which Google made into big thing in the past or present a like.   I think a problem many people have not worked out yet if you want to make a website attractive  you need balance between to much ads and no ads for things to work well but the Pi takes care of this problem out of the bow by it's starting browser being decided to get around the internet speed you loss from to many ads. You can if you prefer easy install Brave I use it a lot of  the system as well seems to work as well as the starter internet browser you get so kind of what you prefer you may prefer Firefox or something else.

Gaming on a Pi with a mouse for game Shattered Pixel Dungon

Thought on Xsnow for a Raspberry Pi
