Browser alternatives anyone?

So Google is locking out V2 in latest builds, this will effect Chrome, Chromium, Vivaldi and probably Brave.

Time to look at other options that do not use googles blink engine?

(Is it still called blink?)

So Apple takes WebKit and adds what it needs to for its browser engine

At one stage Google then worked on what was left after Apple was finished with the code, and created Blink.

Anything wrong with going back to WebKit for new browser?

Why not Firefox ?

Yeah, getting back into the Firefox options.

Been using Firefox and Pale Moon browsers for a while. Just started looking at the Mercury Browser which is based on Firefox.

Someone mentioned recently that Firefox / Mozilla had taken over the Midori project. So… options. :slight_smile:

Isn’t the Gnome browser based on WebKit?

It does! WebkitGTK, their port of WebKit.

Well not really. What happened is the company that owns Midori recently switched from Blink to Gecko engine, and re-based their browser on Floorp which is really good no nonsense browser based on Firefox. I have used Floorp and like it a lot, I would put it on par with Vivaldi which is my second choice for a browser (first being Firefox).

Firefox!!! Nothing more to say.
Google lurks you in just like with other service, once you are dependent on all their services, they change/break/remove stuff.
