Hello everyone. With the support of the community here, I have finally managed to install linux and a browser to use (Ubuntu XFCE) . I will be using Linux predominatly for the next week and will keep you guys updated on how my exerpeicne is. Currently using Chromium as the browser.

that's a question to ask, "Why did it crash?"
Got info that chromium has bugs.

Every major browser has It's vulnerabilities and Inconsistencies.
If you're using Chromium for general day-to-day navigation and It serves It's purpose well, then so be It.

You're welcome.
In terms of secure/private web browsers, whilst there are quite a few, I recommend Epic Privacy Browser.
Amongst many privacy features, It has a built-In proxy and Is In fact developed from the Chromium source code.

I assume it's just
sudo apt-get install Epic Privacy Browser- browser?

Epic Browser Is only for Windows (exe file) and Mac OS X.
For Linux, run It In Wine.
