I am delighted with Proper Menubar. And, I had one question, and Stefan answered with fantastic help and marvelous kindness. I'll be off to donate a bit to him directly I finish writing this review. I installed Proper Menubar on all my chrome-based browsers on Linux, as I prefer a menu bar to the hamburger/three dot menus popular today. But also, I installed it on my wife's school computer, both on Edge and Chrome. She loves the menu bar, and says it's a lifesaver there, where they force her to use Windows, as we prefer open source systems. So thanks for making her life at work so very much better.
