      The only “issue” I have with libre is its essentially a full pull of Firefox nightly with some rust patches on top. Its reliant on Firefox, so its not really a “new” browser per-say.

      That being said, I use it everyday :) Its an excellent project.

        Hard to fault them for that though. It’s damn near impossible to build a fully or even mostly functioning browser for the modern internet without a huge team of devs unless you build it on top of chromium or Firefox, and I’d rather the latter

    To me the killer feature is the ability to send my tabs to any device I have. Without it it’s impossible for me to ditch Firefox, I rely too much on this feature.

      Fennec, you can log in with your Mozilla sync account and access them from any other sync-enabled browser in their ecosystem.

      I wonder if Waterfox allows this. It’s MOSTLY Firefox but without going down the AI trash route.

    Vivaldi and Librewolf are good recommends. So good call by the author.

    I wish I could completely ditch Blink based browsers for Gecko ones, just because I dislike how dominant Blink is thanks to Chrome. But some sites don’t render correctly on Gecko. So a fallback is needed.

    Edit: I haven’t used Vivaldi in a long time, and apparently it’s not what I thought it was. Are there really no outstanding open source Blink-based browser out there?

    I’ve dumped FF for Zen and Waterfox.

    Zen’s only downside is that it can’t play some DRM media like some sports websites. Waterfox can, so I use it for that.
