There's only Chromium >:( by The Happiness Engine 10/22/2022, 9:21am PDT
Google is the only one willing to outspend everyone on a browser engine because it's a key part of their plan to monopolize online advertising. That's what killed Norwegian Opera, the inability to keep pace and have enough market share to drive standards. It's what Microsoft tried and failed to do with IE because they weren't willing to to bend their ideology to capture userbase, since their money came from apps. I think the only other browser engines are Mozilla, who despise their own users and get most of their money from Google licensing deals, or Webkit, Apple's ignored vanity project.

Welcome to the future, it's so much more impossibly shoddy than '90s cyberpunk could imagine.
