Hi Dale, thanks for the informations! I tried Palemoon some time ago. I checked its security and privacy feature with certain sites on the internet, which provide such services and found some issues, which I wanted to discuss on their forum. The answer was not to believe such sites and in result security would be a matter of how much I believe in a certain software. My understanding is, that security is no believe system but a matter of well done software engineering. Therefore I quit Palemoon and I am no longer interested in it. I looked into the linked page and interestingly the solution suggested is exactlu what makes me headaches now: I have a blocker: * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be * installed at the same time on the same system.

How can I get out of it? Cheers Meino
