    Thank you, that is kind. I'm sure that with more knowledge and patience I could do it. But it should be easy as it was with previous Mint iterations.

    I actually tried this too;

    Started with a fresh installation of Mint 18.3 Mate 64 Bit.

    Installed Wine from Software Manager.

    Did a System Update.

    Everything working, including Wine.

    Did a System Snapshot using Timeshift.

    Did the upgrade from Mint 18.3 to Mint 19 using these instructions: https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2416

    The upgrade took ages, several times the time taken for a fresh install.

    However, it worked! Sort of, everything seemed OK, until I tried Wine, just doesn't start when trying to open a Windows .exe.

    Back to square one!

    Then, Thought that I'd try rolling back from Mint 19 (with Wine not working) to Mint 18.3 using Timeshift.

    It didn't take all that long, and worked, and Wine is working too.

    I guess that info on this browser has been posted before, and I think I've tried it before, but tried again just now, and it seems good, a fork of Chrome, does seem fast.

    Includes some useful built in tools, like an efficient youtube downloader.
