HowTo: Let's install lots of browsers on Linux!

Here we're going to cover the installation steps of Browsers in Linux - specifically, Debian GNU/Linux . We're covering the procedural steps for this in Debian Testing (Forkey), which is already beginning the gleanings of what will become Debian 14. At the time of writing,the current kernel version is 7.0.13+deb14-amd64. Daily drivers will likely be along the lines of Vivaldi, Firefox, Lagrange, and Brave Browser, and in no particular order. Any others will be mostly for particular reasons like, testing, curiosity, Etc., but some specialized products like the Tor browser, which focus on privacy are also covered. This list is by no means complete, but there's a bunch of them we cover, so let's jump right in! I can haz #Cheezburgerz? 🍔 🍟 Well, let's see... First up is the first rate and fully featured Vivaldi, built on top of the open source Chromium, as are so many others in this list. Vivaldi Manual setup of the Vivaldi Linux repos - According to their website, "you no longer need to do this. After downloading a Linux package and installing it our Linux update repositories will be configured automatically for you to receive updates." That's awfully nice, so visit the download page above and get the .deb package: ~# mkdir -pv /usr/local/packages/vivaldi ; cd /usr/local/packages/vivaldi ~# wget https://downloads.vivaldi.com/stable/vivaldi-stable_8.1.4087.48-1_amd64.deb ~# apt install ./vivaldi * .deb That's it! You're ready to go now. Next up... Firefox ~# apt update && apt install firefox-esr There's none of this messing about anymore with softforks and trying to remember their names...'IceCat?', 'IceWeasel?'. The Trademark issues over branding have been resolved (and that's a good thing). The one thing you might want to look into is SeaMonkey , which combines the Browser with an email client (like Thunderbird), an RSS Reader, IRC client, and a few other goodies. Brave Browser ~# apt install curl ~# curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg ht
