(edit) oh no, I've said something bad about the lesser evil, and the people who have made it their identity to violently cum all over the first thing that isn't owned by Google are after me. I hope the pipe bomb hitman is at least polite.

Same... I know it's better and worth supporting, I just don't like using it for some reason.

Back in the day, Firefox was literally not as good as Chrome. I personally think that has reversed and it's now much better than Chrome. Leagues better, now that Chrome is banning UBlock Origin. I do wish we had more competition than just Chrome, Safari, and Firefox though...

Yeah any other alternatives? There’s arc, but I think that’s just chromium underneath (see above, meme)

There's ladybird and servo, but neither are near a release and ladybird won't even have an alpha til 2026.

And to make matters more complicated,

Servo, as far I know, has no plans to be a browser. Instead, they want to offer an alternative to Blink (the Chrome rendering engine), so that other software can be made with it. This seems to be a common misconception.
Ladybird's project lead and main developer, Andreas Kling, may or may not hold controversial views that some would prefer to avoid supporting.

I really want there to be more options in the browser market that aren't Blink based (or WebKit, sorry Apple), but the situation's tough.
