  Nah, Firefox. Anything based on the blink engine is vulnerable to upstream fuckiness.

    Firefox forks are less vulnerable purely due to the fact that the main browser engine isnt being developed by a self interested advertising company. (See the recent manifest V3 and discontinuation of V2 shitshow for a example of googles stranglehold causing problems)

    & when it comes to browser engines I’ll set politics aside even if someone has views in very poor taste. The project overall is FOSS and thusly is being developed by hundreds of contributors, I’ve contributed a few bits and pieces for it even.

    Having an additional standalone browser engine serves as insurance against Mozilla doing a stupid and a bulwark against Google dominance.
