Did that, it worked. Now has a binary available so no longer need to
start from source - easier now. Mostly I was wondering why the GUI
didn't do it - it does quite a few other add-on pgms with no
complaints. What's wrong with that particular source? Why "untrusted"?

I'll try it. I was running Brave, my favorite so far, but it generated
a huge # of processes that tried to take over the entire machine
memory. HTOP showed little left for anything else. Stopped using that
even though quite nice.
Thanks,
