    What alternatives exist that aren’t so locked down 90% of sites don’t load?

    Is it only ff forks and chromium forks? All dependant on two terrible companies?

      If you stay with Firefox forks use LibreWolf, if you stay with Chrome forks go Vivaldi do not use Brave, Sucks that Safari folded so many years ago for at least Windows it was a way to use Konqueror.

        What do folks think about Helium as a Chromium option?

      At least there is a project that tries to be the 3rd option, but no idea how useful this will be: https://ladybird.org/

      Opera with Presto was already not 100% compatible with websites back then and that was the last alternative Option I remember (and not open source).

          Yes. It was revived recently (two years ago??) by Linux foundation Europe because there is some renewed interest in!it.

      Right. Nowadays we only have ff and chromium forks, some really tiny browsers that only render HTML/XHTML 4, and two huge unoptimized & unfinished pieces of software that render ok for some sites and really really wrong on others.
