someone off-topic reported problems with chromium/firefox and reverted to
lynx or links.. Does not load in opera (ssl settings) but in seamonkey (mozilla
engine) the GPU starts ramping up the noise level, making the page
problematic.

within licensing run in a jailed chroot, virtualbox, bhyve, etc. to get around
its seeming no-longer-installable-soon status
May be wasting my time, maybe not.
I had it running in a not-complete-chroot to fix a font issue, but upgrading
FreeBSD versions may have broken that. The font issue is fixed, so unable
to spend the time to test.

[1] This is stuff I think about but have no time for, for the most part. I apologize
if I'm wasting anyone's time even posting about it... freely ignore all my posts...
I probably would.

Sorry to bump the thread, but chrome [chromium] started working again.
Firefox opera seamonkey still mostly upto seamless use...

BTW apologize for one of the first posts in this or another thread. Its meaning
was not stated clearly enough to post... in retrospect, at least to some casual
reader, if my re-reading is accurate.
