Something is very wrong with the new Linux Mint, Android 7, and Google
Additionally, if I access Google even once with the latest Linux Mint on the new laptop, Google then owns the computer even after the tab it was on is closed and seems to provide a gateway through which windows start opening or closing or switching over to their own private browsers by themselves, and text I type starts vanishing. Bandwidth usage goes through the roof, and starts getting burned off at least 3 times as fast as it has ever vanished before.
