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.

Cromite. it is a very good and private, easy to use browser, but can be heavy on resources https://github.com/uazo/cromite. It uses Chromium engine. There are browsers like Ladybug and there is also an another project that use their own web engine, but anything that doesn't use the engines you mentoioned, is impossible to daily drive, most of them doesn't evem support javascript, or any script execution, which means you can only browse the most basic blogs, and forget about shopping, social media, and even forums

Brave is a series scam company.

No real data to backup this claim other than complaints about their addons which can be disabled, and their CEO doesn't have the best morals and principles. Like we all believe the exact same things everyday all day.

Multiple highly reputable non profits and other sources show the browser itself performs as one of the best when it comes to privacy. Leave the negativity against Nestle.
