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 trying out waterfox for mobile and librewolf for desktop. No complaints so far

where did you get Waterfox on Android? The Playstore or F droid?

Used F-Droid to download aurora store (open source client for the play store) and used Aurora for waterfox....

thanks, i asked because the Google PlayStore has WaterFox from waterfox.net. Not sure if this is real or fake, because other Fox forks can only be installed from Fdroid like Mull/Fennec

Just don't try to schedule a video for publication in LibreWolf; its time zone obfuscation will totally have it publish at an unexpected time unless you figure that out first! I've been on Waterfox for both mobile and desktop and have enjoyed them equally.
