So are you saying that the Brave crashes I've been experiencing are 
related in some way to MATE? Although I haven't experienced such a crash 
in a couple of weeks now, maybe I'll give GNOME another try then just to 
avoid that, although I seem to have Firefox working a lot better now. 
I'm currently running the Cinnamon desktop, but it definitely still 
needs some work before it's fully usable. I think MATE still is the best 
thing going at this point, but that's because I love love looooooove the 
GNOME 2 interface, and MATE fixed a lot of its quirks early on, and 
hopefully things will get better with 1.28 when it gets released. 
Frankly, you couldn't pay me enough to learn or relearn or whatever 
these other PC OS's, although as I mentioned in an earlier message, 
Android, though it misses a lot of functionality I find necessary on my 
computer, could if it gains that functionality, become the gold standard 
for a11y on any platform. Although I don't have a touch screen monitor 
on my computer for example, it could be highly beneficial if that 
functionality came to at-spi, Orca and the desktop toolkits.
