“OMG this is crazy but in light of the looming Google antitrust stuff did y’all realize there are other browsers out there??”
You meant search engines?
Ya there’s only 2 types of browsers :( chromium and Firefox based. There’s a total monopoly on that
Safari (webkit) and there are two currently trying to get into existence
What other two are there?
Well there's Ladybird which is open source and uses its own browser engine. Can't seem to remember or find the other one though, but this one is more mature iirc
I don’t think ladybird is released in any way that can be used by anyone. It’s still in development
Servo should be vastly more advanced and it's nowhere near ready.
There are several browsers, but the hard part being discussed here is the browser engine. The current promising up and comers are LibWeb for Ladybird and Servo which is now under management of the Linux Foundation; super exciting.
But as far as just browsers, I recommend the Firefox fork, zen browser. The interface is fantastic.
Zen Browser + uBlock Origin + Startpage ✓
Well, Safari (Webkit) too but nobody likes that one.
Btw, Google's Blink is based on Webkit which is based on KDE's KHTML. Else, there is Gecko (Firefox) and was Trident (MS Internet Explorer). Oh, and QtWebkit but it's slow in JS.
GNOME Web (formerly known as Epiphany) also uses the Safari WebKit.
