In the past 10 years it's pretty much just been Firefox, Safari, Explorer/Edge, and Chrome. 99% of browsers are just skinned Chrome. Even Edge now. Opera's engine died in 2013.

99% if browsers are just skinned Chrome.

Yup. Hence, the reason I originally suggested to use Firefox, only because it's not built on Chromium.

Just FYI, the word "hence" literally means "for this reason". So you just said "for this reason the reason" lol.

Chrome uses WebKit, safaris engine.

Chrome forked Webkit in 2012 to create Blink. It is reasonable to assume they have somewhat diverged since.

They're developed separately. It's a hard fork so I consider them different.

Man I haven’t been around that long but I feel like some of my knowledge is outdated and I have to start with “a long time ago in a galaxy far far away” because I stopped paying attention
