Trouble installing Pale Moon on Linux Mint 22

He did say he meant graphical browsers though. For that, just have to add up the RAM used by all the separate processes of any ChromeZilla browser

That 11.9 MiB was for links2 in graphical mode. In normal mode it can run with less than 7 MiB. And you can still read the useful text from a large chunk of the net. But you'll never see advertising in text or graphical mode. Ads all moved to js years ago, as Google moved the entire ad industry into a fingerprinting and tracking model.

That is, however, a considerable drop from what it used to be (10k+), so I'm guessing quite a few less people have a need to sync their browsing profiles across installations this way these days.

Could be due to dropping the Android version? Though it's been several years already now. I don't suppose there are many people synchronizing between multiple desktops/laptops.

Haven't used links2 - by graphical mode do you mean using box drawing characters as was common in full screen text mode programs (Turbo C, MSDOS' Edit and a few others come to mind)?

About 2000 active users of the Pale Moon Sync server would disagree with you

Yeah, but I never said their views were the same as mine

My reason for saying this is because that requires dbus to work properly.

Sorry, I'm going way off topic, I'll stop talking about this so we can focus on any questions from the OP, @Sessh. Suffice it to say that links2 in graphical mode (started with the 'links2 -g' command) will display images like most other browsers, but not multimedia. And the text flow on most modern web pages gets messy, but it's still usually navigable. I've attached some screenshots if you want to see my lightly customized setup.

Not bad at all!
