I'm using librewolf for most tasks but just FYI you can try ladybird with three lines of git and its coming along nicely. Additionally Kagi's WebKit browser Orion is looking really great and the flatpak for that is available right now.

Play with them and report bugs. These guys have been making serious progress this year.

I’m not sure I’d recommend Ladybird or Orion for general use yet. Orion is still getting there on Linux, ladybird is in deep development.

…Why not a good fork? Like Zen, Librewolf, or if you need Chromium compatibility, Helium?

Like I said at the top of my post I use librewolf for most tasks. Definitely don't think anyone should be making daily driver decisions right now. Just raising awareness.

Won't helium be affected by this change? They bundle Unlock Origin, so they will not be able to do that if they want to follow chromium still. They may have to swap to forking off Brave who uses their own blocking engine.

Indeed. Though they are still two versions away from depreciation:

No idea how they’ll handle it, but yeah, they could lift Brave’s engine. Cromite also has its own adblocker they could pull in as a patch.

I'm excited that there are alternative browser engines being developed, but I lost a lot of enthusiasm for Ladybird when I learned more about the lead. Servo is another browser project coming along nicely, although Servo is closer to webkit than it is a fully fledged browser.

You and me both about Ladybird… it was such a blow even I read about the lead.

I'm not happy about it either but one vile man pales in comparison to the vile empire as far as potential damage to the net, so I'm keeping tabs on it as it goes... Well see what happens.
