  That's easy: If you're not a transexual in a wheelchair,
or at least a crossdressing cervix owner, wait until you
get home. :)

  Last I saw, Firefox still provided the option to have a menu
bar. It's a lot easier than a hamburger menu. Though I don't
think Chromium will allow that. At least I couldn't find it. The
best I found was a half-functional extension that put the
menu bar under all the others.

  One other note that might be useful: I think I set up ublock
Origin in FF on the Pi4. I haven't had occasion to get too picky.
I'm using Chrome to stream movies from the library and FF to
visit Youtube. I don't do much else so far. But have people
considered a decent HOSTS file? I've used them for many
years and can't remember the last time I saw an ad on Windows.
Yet I don't use any adblockers. HOSTS is also nice for blocking
tracking bugs from the likes of Facebook and Googletagmanager.

  Combined with a DNS proxy like Acrylic, or a DNS resolver
like Unbound, you can have a HOSTS file with wildcards.
Only a few entries will block most everything. But again, I'm
mostly on Windows and haven't had occasion to do such
things on Pi/Linux.
