How to add item to quicklaunch? How to remove chrome?

Hi,

I'd like to add ungoogled-chromium to the quick launch bar at the bottom left of the screen.
Couldn't find a way to do it.

I'd also like to wipe Chrome from the system. What is the best way to do it?
Just remove the binary?

You can do it by changing the default browser to whatever you prefer:

FatDog control panel
System
FatDog Edit Default Programs
Click on BROWSER and edit the entry.

But I'd like to keep both Seamonkey and ungoogled-chromium, both at the quick launch.
And remove Chrome to free space.

Got to ~/.config/lxqt/panel.conf and amend that.

If you added Chrome through gslapt, then use that to uninstall. Otherwise just delete its directory.

Or just drag and drop its .desktop file onto the Quick Launch area.

Greetings!

I had no idea you could do that. Far too simple. Shouldn't be allowed.

To get rid of chrome, you can use Gslapt to uninstall. At least if you installed chrome as a tar.gz package. The get-google-chrome script does make a tar.gz package and installs it, so using Gslapt should work fine. Just look for chrome in the installed packages. It appears that manually added packages are appended at the end of the list, not in alphabetical order. Then uninstall it.
