Comment on I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome)

  Yeah, me too. Never used it since.

  So I was glad when Opera co-founder von Tetzchner announced Vivaldi, and I did use it for a couple of years. But I don’t want to become dependent on something not completely FLOSS, so lately using mainly Firefox mods like Floorp, Zen and Firedragon.

    My history w/ browsers:

    1. IE - everyone started here
    2. Firefox - switched once I heard about it
    3. Chrome - when it came out, it was fast, which was cool
    4. Opera - switched as soon as I heard about it; was about as fast as Chrome
    5. Firefox - switched when Opera became a Chromium browser

    Since I came from old IE days and started my career having to backport stuff to IE, I care a lot about engine competition, because IE owning everything made everything worse. So that’s still my #1 concern today, hence why I use Firefox.

    I do dabble with Firefox forks though. I use Fennec on my phone, am trying out Mullvad on my laptop, etc. But I’m going to stay within the Gecko-family of browsers until a viable alternative to Blink (Chrome’s engine) emerges (e.g. Servo or LadyBird).
