Hi greywoulf, I just noticed your PM to me. I have not really been on the forum for a few days.

It does not show up in the res...

Hi neilmurg, I just tried Chrome 79, Firefox 73?, Vivaldi, and Brave (Version 1.2.43 Chromium: 79 .0.3945.130 (Official Build) (64-bit)) browsers with Netflix and all but Vivaldi worked fine. Brave asked to install the "widevine" DRM drivers which I let it do, and it worked. Not sure if it matters, ...

Hi stephanieswitzer,

You are welcome...

Try it and I think you will like it.

Hi stephanieswitzer, A lot of people use the "mega.nz" cloud provider including me. They offer 50gb for free (or they used to) and they have a really nice Linux sync management application as well. Their browser add-on extension had some issues last year, so not sure if that was fixed or not. Hope t...

Hi Mahan_R, Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux Mint and its excellent forum! I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well.
