I'm using Linux Mint 22.x.xx Would like to switch out the installed Firefox to a different browser. I don't need a built in VPN, nor password keeper, and other such side-pieces.

Brave and Vivaldi are not a consideration as they seem to get bigger and bigger and more complex for seemingly little gain. Dumped them awhile back

I would like to stick with a FlatPac installation

I have read the thread here -> https://linux.org/threads/midori-browser.54418/ and found it very interesting. A consideration. Very interesting comments especilly by @ponchale regarding telemetry

LibreWolf, seems simply basic - a good thing. Any comments from experiences.

While changing my browser I am considering StartPage and/or Qwant as search engines. I have used them with varing results. StartPage is fast with what seems a quantity of "finds" but just wondering what it is "costing" me in privacy. Qwant provides far less results also slow doing it but am I safer? The speed of the answer is not as importanf as safety.

Thank you
 


I would try midori .
Not sure if it come in a flatpac for mint or not. But it's quite good. Fast and secure.
it can be downloaded as an Appimage though which work well for me.
Also this thread you may want to look over.

The flatpak has been withdrawn for now....some sort of technical trouble there

There is a .deb package

I have backed off from Midori for a while.....they still have quite a bit of work to do. There are inconsistencies.

I gave brave away as well

Currently using Firefox and pleased that I am
 
@ron.alan, That is interesting.....I will take a close look at that

Thanks for the link
