I use firefox, but Id never head of these alternatives.
Anyone who does have reviews? Pros, cons, reasons to use them beside variety?

Pale Moon still supports the even older extension model. I used it briefly until my extensions got updated to the newer format. I still kinda miss the old theme engine.

I thought it was pronounced Kay Melly-on, so I never tried it because of the silly name.
Pihole will be unaffected.

I’d no idea there’s a browser called Conkeror. That’s prertty funny since WebKit was based off of KHTML used in KDE’s Konqueror browser.
