    Browsers I tried yesterday (on Linux):

    • Zen: neat, but the UI is too different for my taste
    • Floorp: also neat, but features I don’t use
    • Waterfox: sweet spot for me

    Librewolf and Waterfox seem pretty similar on paper. I went with Waterfox cuz idk. So far, Waterfox seems to be a drop-in replacement. I haven’t noticed any problems with websites and haven’t run into any bugs.

    One note about Waterfox is that I would have liked if it was added to the official Arch Linux repos. I installed fine with the AUR, but still.

    Bonus: Waterfox is available on Android! 🥳

      Zen: is Firefox

      Floorp: is Firefox

      Waterfox: is Firefox

      Librewolf: is Firefox

      They are all dependent on Mozilla and its choices.

        There is currently no comptetive engine that isn’t owned/developed by a big company. Ladybird is slowly getting there, but it’s gonna take a while. Until then gecko engine is OK for now. It’s all opensource so we know when that’s no longer the case.
