The Firefox ToC discussion pushed me down the browser engine rabbit hole (again). Have you had a chance to daily drive some really good but obscure web engine that is not Gecko (Firefox), WebKit (Apple) and Blink (Chromium)? How viable is it for a complete switch - this includes banking, chatting, logging into websites, etc.

Edit: Added link to the Firefox discussion to give better context to my question.

    I’m going to stick with some form of Firefox fork, personally. Chromium forks are questionable, as if I recall right they include a binary blob provided by google, which could be hiding god knows what.

    Firefox is fully open source, so any code supporting this potential data harvesting can’t hide, and will be removed by most forks.

      I used librewolf until there was some concern about them updating in a timely manner.

      Now I used Firefox with Phoenix to maybe get the best of both worlds and IronFox on mobile.
