How To Install Iridium Browser On Ubuntu 18.04
upgrading Iridium Browser is both open and libre, as it does not contain any proprietary code. Chrominium (the platform Iridium is built on) is one of the most secure browsers available, but it’s powered by Google and they did even more to make it as safe as possible. It is important to remember that Iridium only runs on 64-bit systems, no official 32-bit version is available. So let’s begin the installation.
Step 1: Configure VPSie cloud server
- Sign in to your system or register a newly created one by logging in to your VPSie account.
