hey Hikarins. i want to talk about alternative browsers: which ones you like, which ones you dislike, which ones you think are interesting, whatever. we all know about Ungoogled Chromium, Librewolf and Pale Moon, so although discussion of those browsers is fine, i really wanna see some niche stuff. bonus points for browsers that function on the modern web or browsers that have weird designs or usecases. this is also a good opportunity to talk about projects that push away from Google's domination of the browser market through Chromium and their proxy Mozilla. my browser to start this thread is Basilisk. used to be owned by the Male Poon team but now is independent. runs a similar codebase to PM but has some modern technologies like WebRTC and such. from what i can tell it seems to function fine as a modern browser, and although it's lacking in extensions/themes it has the necessities like adblock, userscripts, etc. i'd consider this as pretty independent from Google/Mozilla as far as functioning browsers go since the codebase is based on old Firefox.

not that niche but i like qutebrowser cry its not good for extensions but i enjoy its simplicity and being able to mold it to your liking

Luakit shades it's free, GPLv3 licensed, written in Lua and C, and the devs are nice. I have also written a few extensions for it; a redirector, a work-in-progress uMatrix fork (4th or 5th iteration, I keep running into problems) unlike Qutebrowser, which has an asshole dev that doesn't care about your security angryangry (see https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/7777) for the issue, tldr; WebGL remained available to sites even though I disabled it, and the dev just dismissed it like it was no problem annoyed2)
