      Ironically, Brave tried to be Firefox based in their early days but they ultimately decided Chromium would meet their needs better so they switched over.

      I actually use 5 different browsers:

      • Brave for work (need Chromium/Workspace integrations)
      • Mullvad for most things not work
      • LibreWolf simply because Mullvad can’t be set as default
      • Ferdium for convenient containers for sites I am regularly logged into
      • Tor for “sensitive” browsing

        I heard the same - over a decade ago.

        Not disagreeing with you, although that information might be outdated. But the fact that you don’t see, e.g. , applications that use gecko to embed web content, speaks volumes. I get the feeling that their codebase is very monolithic.

        I would really like to hear from a current or former contributor though.

      If someone can explain to me why librewolf refuses to display the specialized font characters that most websites use for necessary navigation symbols, I’ll go back to using it. But all of my research suggests it was a problem only I was having, and it genuinely made some websites unusable.
