Ladybird can't happen soon enough. I've been a ff advocate for many, many years and it pains me to say this, but I've had enough now. I don't want my browser to be made by an advertising company.

I wish Mozilla the best. It would be great if they could be successful in advocating for web ads that consist of, say, a jpeg and an href, but I don't think that's ever going to happen.

What about the browser in Linux named Epiphany or sometimes Web? Was installed on a Phosh device of mine and seems ok.
That uses WebKitGTK, which is probably fine. QtWebengine uses blink but that's known to be insecure since Qt can't keep up with upstream (chromium).
It's been around for a decade or two so should be mature, probably more than ladybird. Maybe I'll take both for a spin.
It's WebKit, so effectively Apple if I'm not wrong
What is Ladybird?
