Same here, Mike. I use gmx with Thunderbird on imap, too. Had a Gmail account for, oh, can't remember; a lot of years, anyway. Began to cotton on to Google's 'sod you' attitude with regards to privacy about 3 yrs ago, looked around for something else to use, instead.....and been using gmx ever since.
Good, straight-forward e-mail; no frills. Don't want 'em!
I throw the Gmail account the occasional bone, but it's largely used nowadays for Ubuntu Forums notification e-mails; that, and the odd bit of web advertising turns up, from Youtube, and the like. I think I've watched 3 youtube vids, in total.....and one of those was a GIMP tutorial. Do they really cotton onto your 'habits' from THAT small amount of usage?

Back to topic. I DO use peebee's current .sfs of Chromium, I admit.....but I'm also happy to use the PaleMoon browser built into Tahrpup 6.02. I would use Firefox 32 here on the Dell, and update it to 35 ( I do on the big Compaq).....but for some reason, FF refuses to display any text in the browser address and search bars, which is annoying. It just displays a greyed-out blank box instead. PaleMoon, which is a fork of FF, works fine!
Must be something to do with this damn 82845 on here. You've got one of those, haven't you, Mike? I seem to remember you mentioning something about it in that long ol' thread of mine in 'Miscellaneous'. Did you ever have the problem of blanked-out text in FF?
Mike to Mike.
