Switching to a Chromium-based browser (Arc, Brave, Vivaldi, Edge, et al) does not increase browser competition. It just further strengthens Google’s ability to control the web as a platform.
@Jeremiah@alpaca.gold in my newly found #Europatrionism I tried to find a euro-based browser. Yet all the engines were the same, except Mulvad and servo. And neither had the maturity I needed to run them for most stuff, still made Mulvad my default though… do you know of any other with a tad more consumer readiness ?
@nicolaiofdk@mastodon.social Not yet. I am going to keep using Firefox until Servo or Ladybird are mature enough. Mozilla is being dumb, but it’s not yet insufferable for me.
We need more browser competition.

#Mozilla #Firefox
Found a list with supposed non-chromium browsers. But it’s a couple of years old, so I don’t know if it holds water.
There’s Firefox & Waterfox
Librewolf
Mullvad
GNOME Web (Epiphany)
Pale Moon
SeaMonkey
Midori
K-Meleon
Otter Browser
And of cause, Safari.
I can’t speak to the validity or quality of any of these. But at least there is something to look into.
I would like to add Zen Browser as a nice Firefox Fork
Oops. Broke my own thread.

@Jeremiah@alpaca.gold do you have any nuggets regarding the Norwegians (opera / Vivaldi)
