[QUOTE="dhaavi, post: 964181, member: 93006"] The Portmaster is a system service, which is a non-use case for flatpak. Additionally, we actually install three different components, while flatpak and snap can only do one. This is "as far as we researched" - happy if someone can prove us wrong. ;) We actually started out with Quad9. At some point we had technical difficulties with their service. I even was directly in contact with their Executive Director over this. We were unable to resolve the issue back then, so we'd opted to switch to Cloudflare in the meantime, but we haven't had time for a re-evaluation since then. The only reason we have icons on Windows, is that (disgusting) Electron has a single function call to the get them. ;) Additionally, program icons on Linux are a bit of mess. But they'll come - when it becomes important enough. I'll let [USER=92101]@davegson[/USER] dive into this one. [/QUOTE]
