What web browser requires you to add a repo to install it on Linux

People need to stop being such noobs, getting software from repo.
It's crazy to trust precompiled software force fed to people by evil-big-foss corporations.
Real pros check every line for malware each time there's an update and compile from source.

Noob. How can you trust the underlying libraries and assembly code those functions/methods are coming from? Better get a debugger and watch those CPU registers while it's running.

Debian comes with ESR only. You have to add repos to get standard or beta.

Oh weird, I suppose that makes sense for debian though where the goal is to be stable rather than be up-to-date.

[–] 0oWow@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I understand, but Debian is about the only release I've found so far that is actually stable. Other releases claim stability and don't offer it.
