I want to run Active Captain live charts. It won't run on Firefox because Adobe Flash is no longer supported. Chrome no longer supports a 32 bit version. Will it work with Opera? How do I load Opera into Navigatrix.

Open a terminal. Update your repository list
Code:
sudo apt-get update
When it's done, install the chromium browser
Code:
sudo apt install chromium-browser

Package chromium is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
chromium-bsu

E: Package 'chromium' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package browser
