    Chrome no longer supports Linux Mint?

    Chromium works fine for 32-bit at this time. You may want to try other options such as Firefox or Opera. If Opera, get it directly from Opera as its .DEB installer should add the Opera direct repositories for updates.

    uBlock Origin works well in Firefox and Chrome. I am not sure if it supports inferior web browsers like Internet Explorer, Edge, or Safari.

    If you use Google Chrome as your web browser, you can get the App Launcher from the Google Chrome App Store and then get the Calculator App Google makes. These are all free.
