Browser choice

Hello. browser choice - brilliant solution! This will close discussions about a secure browser, and new users will be able to get acquainted with new browsers that they did not know about. I would like to add 2 sentences for consideration:

  1. Add a signature “proprietary” or “not open source” if there are proprietary browsers in the list. I agree that describing browsers will be redundant due to possible bias, but information about the code is not biased and is very important in assessing security (browsers do not write about proprietary code on their own sites). This will allow new users to assess the risks of installing Google Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera, Yandex Browser… This information can be taken from the site alternativeto.net

  2. Add a browser selection to open-link-confirmation. Users will be able to choose Tor Browser or Mullvad Browser with VPN for suspicious links. To have Tor Browser in the list, you can pre-install torbrowser-launcher in Kicksecure or use only torbrowser-launcher for Tor Browser installation from “browser choice” (manual installation from the site Tor Project | Download does not add the browser to bin)

Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback! One note:

Add a signature “proprietary” or “not open source” if there are proprietary browsers in the list.

The current plan is to not include proprietary browsers in the list at all.

You can add that this is a list of open-source browsers. You might be surprised, but many linux users consider Vivaldi the best secure browser. They will be surprised not to see it on the list

That’s a good idea.
