Whatever you use please make sure it isn't chromium based. Chrome monopoly is a real threat for the freedom of web.

Chrome only has a near monopoly on desktop. There is no monopoly on mobile due to Apple forcing all browsers on iOS to use their WebKit. It creates an interesting situation, I don't want a Chrome monopoly and I'm thankful for Apples policy preventing that, but I also want choice on my device and so think that policy should end. Where do we end up? Potentially with Chrome gaining that monopoly on Mobile too.
For iOS that is true. On Android Google still runs their monopoly. Except for Firefox, all major browsers are based on Chrome
