[GTALUG] Browsers (and Thorium to be specific)

[Don Tai]

I by default don't run JS, and then with the Noscript plugin, grant js
access. Many sites will block you without JS running. Though I depend on
FF, which usually works, I don't mind if web sites crack and don't render
well. I also regularly run Tor. I haven't had an issue with Chrome, other
than that my version is no longer supported and they want me to upgrade my
Linux version.
