Trisquel 8 A big Success, also bugs

My card is a GeForce GT 720. I never got past the 'unknown kepler chipset' message with Trisquel 7 though Trisquel 7 was fine for what I was using it for with it's wider, stubbier display. I tried Trisquel 8 in live mode and was very surprised to see the 1920 X 1080 screen materialize before my eyes so I made space on my hard drive and installed it. Awesome!
I do have a problem with Abrowser and cookies. I set the preferences to not except cookies and I use the exception option to allow on a per site basis. Currently it seems to accept a cookie from Trisquel.info but maybe the site can't access it when it needs to? Anyway, I can't login using Trisquel 8 and Abrowser. Couldn't log in to my email either though I could see my email provider did put cookies. Their message 'This site requires cookies to function' also wouldn't go away. I do not have any issues in Trisquel 7.
Software and Updates didn't do anything at all when I clicked on that in Control Panel. Fortunately I was able to use sudo apt-get install to get most of my favorite applications and remembered to get Synaptic which is working fine.
I followed the Manual page at https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/verify-trisquel-download
but think an update for Trisquel 8 might be good. I couldn't find the correct key on either of the keyservers I found mentioned in documentation.
Anyway, I am excited by the improvement to my graphics and looking forward to fine tuning that will be done. Thanks to Reuben and all for your efforts. Trisquel is the only FSF approved OS that worked for me out of the box except the no longer supported music one.
I attached a text file with my download and verify experience in case anyone is interested.

That's what I used to do for quite a long time. I now allow only first party cookies and for the session only, and set the browsy to purge them all when the browsy is closed. It gives less digital fingerprint and it is much more comfortable.
I
used info here
'https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-websites-storing-site-preferences#w_viewing-a-list-of-blocked-sites'
re 'Block cookies for a single site' to tell Abrowser not to use the
default settings and instead allow trisquel.info cookies for the session
and now I can login. Funny that was the 'custom' default setting
anyway.
Maybe in Trisquel 8 I'll try doing it the way you've come to SuperTramp,
I have been using Belenos for nothing but to do some of my banking and
other OSes for general purposes so it made sense to only allow my bank
to set a cookie.
The less digital fingerprint idea makes sense. It seems the more we do
to protect our privacy the more we stand out. For Abrowser in Trisquel 8 I followed all the recommendations at privacytools.io except I haven't added Noscript and am trying GNU LibreJS instead. Can we assume that all the addons in about:addons are privacy respecting? The YouTube downloader for instance?
I am curious does Trisquel 8 that we are testing have a chosen name yet?

Trisquel 8's codename is "Flidas".

Surely! If you find one with a license that is not a free software license, then that's a bug and you should report it immediately.
In Irish mythology, Flidas rode in a chariot drawn by deer" while "as goddess of the domestic herds" she had a magical cow of plenty.
Well, I do have a lot of Irish blood in me. Maybe we're related.
