Re: brave browser cannot print.

Show all headers | View raw

Someone off-list suggested vivaldi which looks closer to what I want a
browser to be - many/most things being configurable (and much closer to
what firefox used to be) so I'm probably going to stop using brave.
However, I've replied inline below to the questions.
(printing works in vivaldi too)

I think it does but it does nothing. I suspect I don't have the relevant
package installed. (Not in front of the machine right now to check the
UI)
