It will take time to learn, but wow it was easy to install, the privacy and security features are impressive, and the help features extensive.

I had installed it once before several years ago, then had a brief stint with Opera. Likely will migrate my very light Chromium usage to it and learn it well. FFox is having those slow loading problems. I wonder if they just slow it down for power users.
