  If the latter is Safari, then WebKit-based browsers are available for Windows and Unix-likes too.

  Actually WebKit is often used in the same role Gecko would be used, until Mozilla decided they don’t want alternative browsers on Gecko.

    Which are? Please list a few current ones that have reasonable backing and at least a mid-size community.

      Here are two on Linux:

      • GNOME Web (was called Epiphany)
      • Konquerer - KDE

      Those are the two biggest desktops on Linux. In fact, when I run Tauri (like Electron, but uses your system webview instead of bundling it), it uses GNOME Web on my system.

        They still exist? I was under the impression that they are abandoned.

      I wasn’t thinking of such and meant vimb or surf.
