Barry, thank you for such an excellent version of Puppy.
I just created EasyOS 6.1.1 on USB. Installed Firefox.
I wanted to try to install Mullvad Browser from flathub. (Debian Version)
On attempting to start,, it says not recommended running as root.
Before I try to get around the error.
Is there some reason not to use Mullvad Browser? Is there a better general use browser for simple partially secure browser?
Should I be installing Mullvad Browser directly from the Mullvad website?
Thanks for any replies.

Uninstall mullvad flatpak.
Then do it the recommended way:
Run Flapi, via "pkg" desktop icon.
Click on customize button.
The installation of mullvad will run as user "mullvad".
Flathub page:
https://flathub.org/apps/net.mullvad.MullvadBrowser
The ID: net.mullvad.MullvadBrowser
Homepage: https://mullvad.net/en/browser
Give it a short name: Mullvad
Possible short description: Private secure web browser
OK, decided to try it:
- flapi-mullvad.png (18.02 KiB) Viewed 749 times
Created a desktop icon. Yes, works.
